Min-max normalization is a linear transformation that scales the raw feature values to a fixed range, typically [0, 1]. It subtracts the minimum value of the feature from each data point and then divides by the range (maximum minus minimum).

Conditions: Applied to a continuous numerical feature.; Requires knowing the minimum and maximum values of the feature.; The maximum and minimum values must not be equal (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.

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.

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.

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 $X_{\text{norm}} = \frac{X - X_{\min}}{X_{\max} - X_{\min}}$.

Feature scaling is important primarily to achieve faster convergence in optimization algorithms like gradient descent, and to ensure that distance-based algorithms compute distances appropriately without larger-scale features dominating.

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 algorithms relying on distance metrics, features with larger numerical ranges will disproportionately influence the total distance. The feature with the larger scale will dominate the distance metric, regardless of its actual predictive importance, because its coordinate differences are numerically much larger.

Conditions: Applies to distance-based machine learning algorithms like KNN or K-means.; Features are not scaled or normalized.; Distance is computed using a standard metric like Euclidean distance.
