Standardization (or Z-score normalization) is a linear transformation that centers the data around zero and scales it to have a standard deviation of one. It subtracts the mean of the feature from each data point and divides by the standard deviation.

Conditions: Applied to a continuous numerical feature.; Requires knowing the mean and standard deviation of the feature.; The standard deviation must not be zero (to avoid division by zero).

Standardization transforms a feature value $x$ into $z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}$, targeting a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1 for the transformed feature.

Conditions: Applied per numerical feature.; Uses the feature mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$.; Assumes $\sigma > 0$.

To standardize a dataset using the Z-score formula, first compute the mean ($\mu$) and standard deviation ($\sigma$) of the dataset. Then, for each original data value $X$, apply the formula $X' = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$ to convert it into a standardized score.

Import `MinMaxScaler` from `sklearn.preprocessing`, instantiate it, and call `fit_transform` on the selected DataFrame columns. This fits the scaler to the data (learning min/max) and transforms the values to the [0, 1] range.

Conditions: Input data is numerical.; Scikit-learn library is installed.

Min-max normalization transforms a feature value $X$ into $X_{\text{norm}} = \frac{X - X_{\min}}{X_{\max} - X_{\min}}$, mapping the feature's observed range onto the interval $[0, 1]$.

Conditions: Applied per numerical feature.; Requires a finite minimum $X_{\min}$ and maximum $X_{\max}$ for the feature.; Assumes $X_{\max} \neq X_{min}$ to avoid division by zero.

Min-max normalization transforms a feature value $X$ into $X_{\text{norm}} = \frac{X - X_{\min}}{X_{\max} - X_{\min}}$, mapping the feature's observed range onto the interval $[0, 1]$.

Conditions: Applied per numerical feature.; Requires a finite minimum $X_{\min}$ and maximum $X_{\max}$ for the feature.; Assumes $X_{\max} \neq X_{min}$ to avoid division by zero.

Standardization centers data at the mean ($\mu$), so values below the mean become negative. Min-max normalization shifts and scales data so the minimum becomes 0 and the maximum becomes 1, keeping all values non-negative within [0, 1].

Conditions: Standardization uses $z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}$.; Min-max uses $X_{\text{norm}} = \frac{X - X_{\min}}{X_{\max} - X_{\min}}$.

The Z-score formula normalizes the data by subtracting the mean ($\mu$) from the original value ($X$) and dividing the result by the standard deviation ($\sigma$). The formula is $X' = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$.

The least squares cost function measures the average squared difference between the predicted values (based on the model parameters and features) and the actual target values. It is commonly used in linear regression to evaluate model performance.

Conditions: Used for regression problems where the goal is to predict a continuous value.; Assumes a linear relationship between the features and the target variable.

Standard deviation is calculated by finding the squared differences from the mean, averaging those squared differences to get the variance, and then taking the square root of the variance. The formula is $\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{\sum (X - \mu)^2}{N}}$.

Conditions: The mean $\mu$ of the dataset has already been calculated.

No, standardization does not change the general shape of its distribution; it only shifts the mean to zero and scales the standard deviation to one. It is a linear transformation, so a highly skewed distribution remains skewed after standardization.

Conditions: The dataset has a well-defined mean and standard deviation.; Standardization is applied as a linear transformation.

In machine learning, normalization is used to scale different features to the same scale, preventing features with larger numerical values from dominating model training and thus avoiding inconsistency. If features differ greatly in magnitude, the algorithm may become biased.

Conditions: Suitable for datasets where features differ greatly in units or magnitude
