Feature Scaling

Feature scaling is an essential step in data preprocessing for machine learning algorithms. It is a technique used to transform the range of independent variables or features of data to a standard scale. Feature scaling is also known as data normalization or standardization.

Min-Max Normalization
Each attribute is scaled to a range between [0,1]. This can be achieved using Scikit-Learn’s MinMaxScaler. The transformation is given by

X_scaled = (X - X_min) / (X_max - X_min)

Z-Score Implementation
Scikit-learn provides us with StandardScaler which standardizes the features for us.
The z-score of a sample value x is given by:
z=(x - u)/s.
