I was mistaken, there is a visible improvement!

I still cannot understand how I can sensibly revert the scaling of the values.

# ===== #
meas.tc <- testing[, "MEAS_TC"] * attr(testing, 'scaled:scale') +
attr(testing, 'scaled:center')
predicted.tc <- tc.xyf.prediction$prediction * attr(testing,
'scaled:scale') + attr(testing, 'scaled:center')
# ===== #

but I get warnings, and values that are very wrong:

Warning messages:
1: In testing[, "MEAS_TC"] * attr(testing, "scaled:scale") :
  longer object length is not a multiple of shorter object length
2: In testing[, "MEAS_TC"] * attr(testing, "scaled:scale") + attr(testing,  :
  longer object length is not a multiple of shorter object length

The original values for somdata["MEAS_TC"] are around 0.5 to 3, but
the unscaled values are about -170 to 700.
