How to select the category of the different encoders

There are several encoders, but I don’t know how to select one accurately. For example, there are some scalar data , which one I should select ? scalar encoders or random distributed scalar ?

Use a random distributed scalar encoder. It’s an improvement on the standard scalar encoder. Most of the other encoders are self explanatory. Their documentation is here: http://nupic.docs.numenta.org/1.0.5/api/algorithms/encoders.html
