What is 'Standardization'?

What is 'Standardization'?

Approach: Describe transforming data to have a mean of 0 and standard deviation of 1.

A feature scaling technique where values are centered around the mean with a unit standard deviation. Formula: (x - mean) / standard_deviation. It makes features comparable.

Follow-up: When is standardization better than normalization?

Key concepts: z-score, scaling, mean/std.
