Нормализация — процесс преобразования числовых значений к общей шкале, например от 0 до 1, от -1 до 1 или standardized z-scores. Она помогает моделям обучаться надёжнее, предотвращая доминирование features with larger numeric ranges в learning.
Broadly speaking, the process of converting a variable's actual range of values into a standard range of values, such as: - -1 to +1 - 0 to 1 - Z-scores (roughly, -3 to +3) For example, suppose the actual range of values of a certain feature is 800 to 2,400. As part of feature engineering, you could normalize the actual values down to a standard range, such as -1 to +1. Normalization is a common task in feature engineering. Models usually train faster (and produce better predictions) when every numerical feature in the feature vector has roughly the same range. See also Z-score normalization.
