Meet the concept

↗

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

Conditions: Requires knowing the mean and standard deviation of the dataset

Meet the concept

↗

Standardization transforms a feature value xx into z=x−μσz = \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 μ\mu and standard deviation σ\sigma.; Assumes σ>0\sigma > 0.

Find a method

↗

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

Conditions: Requires knowing the mean and standard deviation of the dataset

Find a method

↗

Import `StandardScaler` from `sklearn.preprocessing`, instantiate it, and call `fit_transform` on the selected DataFrame columns. This transforms the data to have mean 0 and standard deviation 1.

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

Understand why

↗

Standardization centers data at the mean (μ\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=x−μσz = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}.; Min-max uses Xnorm=X−Xmin⁡Xmax⁡−Xmin⁡X_{\text{norm}} = \frac{X - X_{\min}}{X_{\max} - X_{\min}}.

Meet the concept

↗

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).

Find a method

↗

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 σ=∑(X−μ)2N\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{\sum (X - \mu)^2}{N}}.

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

Find a method

↗

Min-Max normalization is a method that linearly transforms raw data into the interval [0, 1]. The formula is X′=X−min⁡max⁡−min⁡X' = \frac{X - \min}{\max - \min}, where XX is the original value, and min⁡\min and max⁡\max are the minimum and maximum values of that feature column, respectively.

Conditions: The dataset has clear min and max values.; max is not equal to min

Understand why

↗

In machine learning, different features may have entirely different magnitudes. Without processing, features with larger magnitudes may dominate the model training process.

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

Understand why

↗

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

Know when to use it

↗

The Z-score technique is best applied when the data is normally distributed, forming a proper bell-shaped curve. It aims to transform data into a distribution with mean 0 and standard deviation 1.

Conditions: The data is normally distributed.
