What is Feature Scaling? | Standardization | Normalization | Data Preprocessing in Python

Показать описание

In this comprehensive tutorial, we discuss the concept of Feature Scaling. We begin by explaining what Feature Scaling is and why it plays a pivotal role in data preprocessing. Using a real-world like example involving Euclidean distances, we illustrate how unscaled features can skew our results.

Next, we shift our focus to three powerful feature scaling techniques: Standard Scaler, Min-Max Scaler, and Robust Scaler. With clarity and precision, we explore their individual properties and the scenarios where they must be used. Discover why Robust Scaler emerges as the ultimate choice when dealing with datasets that contain outliers.

But that's not all! We roll up our sleeves for a hands-on Python exercise, where we apply and visually compare these feature scaling techniques. Witness firsthand how each method transforms your data and gain valuable insights into when to deploy them in your own projects.

Happy Learning!
