Scale Data for Machine Learning

Описание: Scaling (inputs and outputs) can improve the training process for machine learning. A common scaling technique is to divide by the standard deviation and shift the mean to 0. Another common scaling approach is to adjust all of the data to a range of 0 to 1 or -1 to 1. Each data column is scaled individually.

There are different methods for scaling that are important based on the presence of outliers or statistical properties of the data. Two primary methods for scaling are a standard scaler (scale by the standard deviation) and a min-max (e.g. 0-1) scaler. For classifiers and regressor such as neural networks, most of the data should be between 0 and 1 or -1 and 1.
