What is Normalization

Normalization is a process of adjusting values in a dataset to ensure comparability and accuracy. It is widely used in various fields, such as statistics, data science, and database management.

In statistics, normalization often involves transforming data into a standard format, typically with a mean of zero and a standard deviation of one. This allows for easier comparison and analysis of different datasets.

In database management, normalization refers to a design technique that reduces data redundancy and improves data integrity by organizing data into related tables. This ensures that the relationships and dependencies within the data are logical and efficient.

In social sciences and psychology, normalization is crucial for the development of assessment scales and tests, ensuring comparability across different measures. The results of normalization can significantly impact research findings and conclusions.

As data science and machine learning continue to evolve, the importance of normalization will grow, particularly in enhancing model training and predictive accuracy. However, maintaining data privacy during the normalization process poses a new challenge.
