Standardizing Data
Intuition
Its roughly centering data around the origin of the axis. This is achieved by subtracting the mean of the data from each individual observation:
Transformed Values = values – mean/std. deviation
Standardization in Python 3
Python 3 does not have a base way to standardize data, so importing the preprocessing library from sklearn is required as follows:
from sklearn import preprocessing
dataVarStandardized = preprocessing.scale(dataVar)
Standardization in R
The first way to standardize data in R is with base packages:
dataVarStandardized<-data.frame(scale(dataVar)) #
Another way is to
