Standardization
Standardization is one of the techniques used for scaling features, and we will learn about this technique and its formula while exploring an example that illustrates how it works, alongside some points to keep in mind when using this technique and a sample code.
Definition
Standardization is the process of centering the variable at zero and standardizing the variance to 1.
We subtract the mean from each observation and then divide the result by the standard deviation to standardize features. The formula for standardization is given as:
