Standardization vs. normalization
Filed under: data preprocessing, normalization, scaling, standardization
In the overall knowledge discovery process, before data mining itself, data preprocessing plays a crucial role. One of the first steps concerns the normalization of the data. This step is very important when dealing with parameters of different units and scales. For example, some data mining techniques use the Euclidean distance. Therefore, all parameters should have the same scale for a fair comparison between them.
Two methods are usually well known for rescaling data. Normalization, which scales all numeric variables in the range [0,1]. One possible formula is given below:
On the other hand, you can use standardization on your data set. It will then transform it to have zero mean and unit variance, for example using the equation below:
Both of these techniques have their drawbacks. If you have outliers in your data set, normalizing your data will certainly scale the "normal" data to a very small interval. And generally, most of data sets have outliers. When using standardization, your new data aren't bounded (unlike normalization).
So my question is what do you usually use when mining your data and why?
Note: Thanks to Benny Raphael for fruitful discussions on this topic. Thanks to Jim for a correction on May 26th 2014.

Sometimes perhaps we can take logarithms of input data when they contain order-of-magnitude larger and smaller values. However, since logarithms are defined for positive values only, we need to take care when the input data may contain zero and negative values.
You did a very good work on your blog!
A few points come to mind:
1. Monotonic scaling of the data (assuming that distinct values are not collapsed) will have no affect on the most common logical learning algorithms (tree- and rule-induction algorithms).
2. There are robust alternatives, such as: subtract the median and divide by the IQR, or scale linearly so that the 5th and 95th percentiles meet some standard range.
3. Outliers (technically, and high leverage points) present an interesting challenge. One possibility is to Winsorize the data after scaling it.
Thanks for your comment fay. I agree with you on taking the log. I use to work with data in the range 10^6 to 10^12 for example. And thanks for the remark
Will, your suggestions seem very interesting. I don't know the "winsorize" technique, but it seems it could be used in addition to normalization.
For readers who are not aware of this technique: "Winsorizing" data simlpy means clamping the extreme values.
This is similar to trimming the data, except that instead of discarding data: values greater than the specified upper limit are replaced with the upper limit, and those below the lower limit are replace with the lower limit. Often, the specified range is indicate in terms of percentiles of the original distribution (like the 5th and 95th percentile).
This process is sometimes used to make conventional measures more robust, as in the Winsorized variance.
Will, can you tell me how I can scale linearly so that the 5th and 95th percentiles meet some standard range?
Can this be done with both negative and positive values?
Another question:
If I want to compute an index where not only the units and scales are different, but also the input metrics into the index have different interpretations – specifically, one metric is better if the values are higher and another one is better if the values are lower, how can I compute an index that represents all numbers concisely and meaningfully?
Let's say I have Expenses ($), Profits($) and Turnover (%). Expenses and Turnover are better if lower, but Profits are better if higher.
If comparing two companies on these metrics, and I want to compute one index to show the "best" performing company on these parameters, how can I do this?
Sorry, not strictly data-mining relevant, but thought someone here might have an answer!
Tried using z-scores and normalizing but doesnt work due to different hi-low interpretations.
Eventually used a reverse-rank for Expenses and Turnover so that all have same order. However, rank does not show quantity difference between the two companies, just their ranks!
this is a great blog, thanks to all for helpful comments.
First, you can normalize/standardize your data. Or, on the contrary, you can maybe decide to manually fix weights to each of these metrics.
You can for example use an objective function. Let say you want to maximize a function of the Expenses, Profits and Turnover. In the objective function, give a negative weight to Expenses and Turnover and a positive one to Profits. I don't know if this will work for your problem, but that would be my first guess.
Hi Sandro,
Interesting article and the comments which followed. I am also dealing with analysis of Mass Spectrometry data. This kind of data suffers a significant variation due to instrumental errors and limitations (even if the same sample is analyzed). Presently I am using log transformation, which is giving satisfactory result. But I am still skeptical of possibilities of false positives, as data is from the range of 10*3 to 10*6. So what do you suggest best method of normalizing this kind of data.
I am also confused with the two terms as you mentioned 'standardization' & 'normalization', which to use with mass spectrometry data analysis. Although I only found research articles mentioning normalization for such kind of data not standardization. Although when I explored the internet then both the techniques were referred in similar grounds.
What is your views regarding this query.
@shrawan: If you know that your data contains several outliers, then I guess you should rather try standardization.
[…] ※normalization(正規化)とstandardization(標準化)の違いについて。 http://www.dataminingblog.com/standardization-vs-normalization/ […]
Good discussion. However the fact is… Now I am more confused. LOL!
Detrending would be standarzisation or normalization or neither?
Can you please give two basic good on the NOrmalization and Standardization techniques
Is standardization and z-transform the same thing?
Is there a scientific journal paper (reference) about this topic, standardization and normalization?
Rahul Kulkarni: Yes, its the same.
Hi all,
Apart from standardization and normalization, certain applications require each sample to be divided by their norm to get unit magnitude, mostly in PCA,LDA, sparse coding etc.
What is the logic behind it. Also under such cases do we need to first apply normalization and then divide by norm?
Great Article. I actually have a problem and was wondering if the data should be normalized, and figure I should reach out here.
I have 15 products a,b,c,d,e, etc.. They were all sent to different amounts of customers, and recieved different amounts of positive responses. The set up in excell would be:
Product Amount Sent Positive Response
I was wondering what would be the best way to scale and/or normalize the data so I can draw some conclusions. Any advice? Thanks for the help
Just read a great blog post on the distinction between normalization and standardization. I'd used both in the past — but never really understood the distinction.
Hope the link isn't automatically removed:
Thanks for the link Tony! Interesting discussion there.
please send me the importance of standardize data
Very interesting thread.
I have a question. If one has a large collection of data with several atributtes (let's say 40) each of which follows a different distribution (gaussian or not),
Does it make any sense to mix normalization and standarization in the same dataset? That is, standardize those attibutes that follow a gaussian distribution and normalize the rest (removing previously possible outliers).
I presume it may distort the correlation between attibutes and therfore corrupt the results. If that's the case, one has to choose between normalization and standarization for the whole dataset?.
Thanks in advance.
@David: Very interesting question! In data mining, normalization/standardization is often used to allow data of different scale (unit) to be comparable by a classification/regression algorithm. So, if you mix both of them, then you loose this use. Attributes that have been standardized may have much more impact than the normalized ones, just because of their ranges.
[…] Standardization vs. normalization […]
[…] Standardization vs. normalization […]
[…] Standardization vs. normalization […]
The following statement in the original post is not correct: "When using standardization, you make an assumption that your data have been generated with a Gaussian law (with a certain mean and standard deviation)."
The mean and std dev are definable for any continuous-variable distribution and therefore, regardless of the true underlying distribution, standardization will yield data having a mean of 0 and std dev of 1. There is no assumption that the underlying distribution is Gaussian.
Of course, if the data are not Gaussian, then you could not, for example, make the claim that approximately 95% of the standardized values should fall between -2 and +2; this would be true only if the population being sampled is normally distributed.
Dear All;
For logarithmic normalization , i need to know how it improve the data , for example suppress the outliers , is it good to deal non-symmetric data? …\\

Hello Everyone, I am Daniel Steve by name and i live in Texas USA, i will like to talk about the goodness of God in my life after so many months of trying to get a loan on the internet and was been scammed so i became desperate in getting a loan from a legit lender online.

Community Notes
LUGS debate tax time, free BBC content online, hosting Linux swap on LVM, and more.
January featured the usually eclectic mix of LUG discussions in Europe and in North America. Topics covered everything from electronic tax filing software to network configuration, discussions of the design of the RFID technology used on the more recent London Underground subway transportation tickets, and a BBC plan to support Microsoft's proprietary formats in a new online streaming service. There were, of course, the usual recurring
themes – Linux on the desktop (including where to buy a Linux Desktop computer in Australia), Asterisk server configuration, and building proprietary Linux kernel drivers for unsupported hardware. The OLPC Project (One Laptop Per Child) announced more fun, too.

A Computer-aided Careers Assessment
A Computer-aided Careers Assessment Psych Demo 05/06/2007 prepared for This report contains information which is confidential to Psych Demo and should be disclosed to others only with his permission. The report remains the property of Psych Demo. The report does not try to tell you what you should do, but instead tries to encourage you to think about what you might enjoy doing. It attempts to highlight your main areas of interest and your strengths and weaknesses. It suggests how these may affect your career choice and tries to encourage you to think about yourself in relation to work. The best way to use this report is in conjunction with an interview with a careers advisor. Having read the report you may wish to follow up some of the career suggestions. There are many books and articles normally available in either your local Training Access Point or Training and Enterprise Council information services and most public libraries also stock careers information. The most appropriate way to use this information is in conjunction with the guidance of a careers advisor. Psych Demo CAREERS REPORT YOUR PERSONAL WORK PROFILE CHART Below is a chart of your personal work needs. Most people will be about medium in their needs and your high and low needs are those which set you apart from others around you. The meaning of the chart is explained in words below the chart. CAREERS REPORT Score 1 4 7 4 5 Need for excitement Stability Need for Change Need for People Need for Control Low 1 2 3 4 Medium 5 6 7 High 8 9 PERSONAL QUALITIES HOW YOU DEAL WITH PEOPLE You are as assertive as most people and while you generally know your own mind you are unlikely to force your views onto other people. You try to balance getting things done and at the same time be sensitive to other people's feelings. In general, you will not want to upset other people and you will try to avoid conflicts and disagreements when possible. If people are getting in your way however, you may say what you think in order to get your own way. You will generally try to avoid criticising other people, but you will criticise their work if you think it is necessary. While you may not be very interested in management, you should be happy to manage others if you are in an area of work which interests you. As a result, you may not want to look for a job which gives you management responsibilities, but you should not avoid a job you are interested in simply because it involves managing other people. You are a little less sociable and outgoing than most people and will tend to prefer working on your own, rather than being part of a team. You do not have a very strong need for other people's company and you have a less than average need to belong to a group. Despite this, you are not shy and you are not likely to actively avoid people. While you do not usually make the first move when getting to know new people, once you have broken the ice you will be quite warm and friendly. Although people would not describe you as a loner, you may prefer to spend time alone if you are given the choice. As a result, you are likely not to enjoy a job which involves continually meeting new people, and will possibly prefer to work with a small group of people you can get to know well. YOUR THINKING STYLE Some people might say that you lack self-control and self-discipline. You like to take things as they come, acting on the spur of the moment. You may at times be fairly impulsive and as a result you do not tend to plan ahead. In fact, you might even think that planning ahead takes the fun out of things. You may not enjoy a job where you have to closely follow set rules and procedures and where there is little chance for you to use your own initiative. You do not have a strong sense of duty and you may Psych Demo find it difficult to see very boring or repetitive tasks through to the end. When you get involved in things which require attending to fine detail you may be prone to make careless mistakes. You are not a very traditional or conservative person and you will tend to question authority and accepted ideas more than most people of your age. You greatly dislike taking risks and other people will see you as a very cautious person. You will think that taking chances is not a very sensible thing to do and you will prefer to work slowly towards a goal rather than take a risk in order to try to get there quickly. You will almost always prefer the 'safe' option and will want safety and stability in everything you do. This will include your career choice where secure jobs, preferably in a large organisation with a clearly defined career structure, will attract you. As a result being self-employed, working for a small company or working in a job where you do not have regular work to do will probably not interest you. YOUR COPING STYLE You are slightly less calm and able to control your feelings than most people. As such you may tend to be a little moody and touchy at times. You are a little more temperamental and emotional than some people and you may sometimes be easily upset by other people's thoughtless comments. You are relatively sensitive to other people's opinions of you and you may be a little more easily hurt than most people. As a result you may have some difficulty accepting criticism, even if it is well meant. You may be inclined to worry and at times you may feel anxious or tense about things which would not worry other people. As a result you may at times doubt your own abilities and worry a little about possible failure. Psych Demo YOUR CAREER PROFILE CHART Below is a chart of your career interests. Most people have scores around the middle so it is the high and the low interests which tells us about how you differ from the 'average' person. CAREER INTERESTS Score Interest Low 1 5 4 5 5 4 3 6 Artistic-Creative Practical-Mechanical Scientific Admin-Clerical Caring-Helping Logical-Computational Persuasive 2 3 4 Medium 5 6 7 High 8 9 YOUR CAREER INTERESTS ARTISTIC/CREATIVE Activities involving creative/artistic skills Being moderately interested in creative, artistic activities you may possibly have some interest in art, drama and other cultural pursuits. Having an artistic sense which is no more or less than most you will probably appreciate art and good design, and have a good sense of artistic taste. You may be motivated to use this interest in a career, but should bear in mind that ability as well as interest is critical for success in this area of work. However, as your level of interest in artistic/creative activities is of an average level it may be possible that the artistic content of other less directly related occupations would interest you. It may be possible that you have not considered the more practical applications of potential creative talent within occupations outside of art and design. In today's modern office, workers using facilities such as desk top publishing have scope for creativity in their work. PRACTICAL/MECHANICAL Activities involving engineering, machine tools, the use of machinery and other practical occupations. Having a fairly low level of interest in practical and mechanical types of work you are probably not likely to enjoy working with your hands. You will probably show little interest in how things work and you are unlikely to enjoy mending household electrical appliances, bicycles etc. This of course implies that you are not likely to be interested in crafts, trades in the building industry, or engineering. A large number of less directly related occupations have practical elements. You may wish to consider whether your fairly low level of interest is more associated with construction/engineering, or whether your apparent disinterest would apply to other less manual or physically demanding jobs which may require working with your hands. It is possible that you have some interest in working with your hands otherwise your interest score would possibly have been lower. SCIENTIFIC Psych Demo Activities involving the understanding of natural and physical sciences You show a moderate level of interest in scientific careers and may not be very interested to learn about physics, chemistry or biology based topics. Because of your moderate interest in the natural sciences you are fairly unlikely to consider laboratory work, chemical engineering, metallurgy, medicine etc. when looking for a career. You may possibly not show a great deal of enthusiasm for science in general. ADMINISTRATIVE/CLERICAL Activities involving administration and well established procedures. You show a moderate level of interest in clerical/administrative work and you possibly may not enjoy a job which involves a lot of office work. As a result such jobs as bank clerk, librarian, secretary, typist etc. may not be of interest to you. You may not enjoy working at a desk for long periods and you will possibly want to avoid long periods of repetitive work of a paper and pencil or keyboard kind. Because of an average level of interest it may be worth considering the administrative content of jobs in your areas of high interest. A large number of jobs have some clerical duties attached to them but you are likely to be quite happy to carry out these minor tasks if they are connected to your interests. CARING/HELPING Activities centred on helping and caring for others. You show little interest in careers which involve caring for people such as teaching, nursing, social work etc. While you may well be interested in people you may not be highly motivated to help them as part of a job. It may be that you have not considered the caring aspects of other jobs such as hospital porter, hairdressing and indeed any job with customer contact. You have possibly related the questions to direct nursing type jobs and may be quite happy to deal with people in your areas of interest. LOGICAL/COMPUTATIONAL Activities involving problem solving and analytical skills. You show little interest in careers which involve working with numbers and problem solving. It is very likely that mathematics and computer studies hold little appeal for you and an effort will be made to keep clear of those jobs which seem to require these skills. Such work might include accounting and accounts clerk, engineering and computing. Although computing may not interest you, other areas such as word processing may be of interest if your clerical/administrative interest is fairly high. A large number of jobs involve working with numbers including shop work, engineering, administration etc., therefore you should consider the numerical content of jobs which may appeal to you. PERSUASIVE Activities involving persuasive skills and the control of others Persuasive skills are important in most supervisory and management positions and are vital in most direct or in-direct selling situations. Education levels and/or experience may be important in supervisory and management positions including senior sales positions. Although managerial and supervisory staff may be required to have specialist product knowledge they will also need to possess the necessary personal skills. Taking responsibility for and co-ordinating a team of fellow workers Psych Demo requires the appropriate level of persuasiveness in order to successfully maximise productivity. For a large number of positions in the retail and distribution area, personality and presentation are important factors. Most of the large retail organisations and some smaller ones offer a variety of intensive training programmes for all levels. Persuasiveness is a vital component of most business dealings. In selling situations, persuasiveness applied appropriately will increase the chance of obtaining a successful outcome. Individuals with low persuasive skills tend to become disheartened when faced with refusals, either in telephone or face-to-face sales situations. A good example of effective persuasive skills is the market trader who attracts large crowds with his/her unique sales banter. Another example is the extremely smooth and polished car salesperson with his/her highly technical sales skills. The sales and marketing world can involve long hours, including evening and weekend work. A great amount of time may be spent travelling, or away from home. Sales representatives are usually judged on results and salaries are often linked to targets and deadlines. You are as interested as most people in work which involves selling and convincing individuals or groups of the benefits of your particular product or service. Having a moderate interest in this area, you may find it relatively easy to convince people around to your point of view. While an occupation which primarily involves selling may not appeal to you, many jobs which include this area may be worth considering i.e. retail work, travel agency, sales support etc. Psych Demo SUGGESTIONS FOR VOCATIONAL EXPLORATION Below is a list of jobs which are linked to your career interests. If you look at all the jobs listed there should be at least some which you will wish to follow up, and find out more about. This list is based on your highest career interest: High Skill Requirement Barrister Legal Executive Recruitment Consultant Sales Executive Media Executive (advertising) Retail Manager Public Relations Executive Personnel Executive Hotel Manager Publican/Bar Manager Moderate-High Skill Requirement Sales Manager Account Executive (advertising) Retail Manager Public Relations Officer Personnel Executive Recruitment Consultant Hotel Manager Insurance Broker Sales Man/Woman Publican/Bar Manager Moderate Skill Requirement Retail Manager Public Relations Officer Personnel Officer Sales Man/Woman Retail Assistant Store Demonstrator Telesales Operative Private Employment Agency Consultant/Interviewer Tour Courier/Site Representative Publican/Bar Tender Low-Moderate Skill Requirement Personnel Assistant Sales Man/Woman Retail Assistant Store Demonstrator Telesales Private Employment Agency Interviewer Shelf Filler Psych Demo Bus Driver/Conductor Tour Courier/Site Representative Bar Man/Woman This list is based on a combination of your top two interests: High Skill Requirement Teaching (Science Subjects) Conservation scientist Medical Representative Moderate-High Skill Requirement Medical Representative Technical Sales Representative Moderate Skill Requirement Medical Representative Technical Sales Representative Low-Moderate Skill Requirement This list is based on your second highest interest: High Skill Requirement Teacher (Science subjects) Research Scientist Chemist Forensic Scientist Pathologist Microbiologist Medical Physicist Environmental Scientist Ecologist Veterinary Scientist Pharmacist Meteorologist Geologist Oceanographer Moderate-High Skill Requirement Scientific Officer (Civil Service) Microbiologist Medical Physicist Laboratory technician Environmental Scientist Public Health Officer Physiotherapist Psych Demo Dietitian Teacher (Science subjects) Laboratory technician Medical Physics Technician Radiographer Moderate Skill Requirement Laboratory technician Medical Physics Technician Radiographer Low-Moderate Skill Requirement You have expressed an interest in careers in the Scientific/Analytical area.

Report: Nuggets hire New Orleans' Tim Connelly to be new GM
Jun 17, 2013, 11:42 AM EDT
Tim Connelly has been a rising star in the front office world. He was with the Wizards and was hired away by the then Hornets (now Pelicans) to be an assistant general manager there behind Del Demps.
Now he's made the leap to the big chair.
Connelly is going to be the new GM of the Denver Nuggets, reports Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports.
Connelly is part of a younger generation of league executives moving into top management positions around the league, and has been compared favorably to Orlando's Rob Hennigan and Phoenix's Ryan McDonough as part of the league's next crop of bright young minds.
Connelly replaces the well-respected Masai Ujiri who left to take the lead job in Toronto. Denver first targeted their assistant GM Pete D'Alessandro but he has bolted for Sacramento.
Connelly has got a lot of work ahead of him. A lot.
First he has to replace coach George Karl. Whoever doesn't get the Clippers job — Lionel Hollins or Brian Shaw… or both if the Doc Rivers deal comes through — are considered the front-runner.
Then he has to try to work out a deal with Andre Iguodala, who was a key part of Denver's 57-win season last year but is opting out of his final year to get the security of a longer deal.
Then there is the whole filling out the front office, the draft and rounding out the right pieces on a roster with potential.
It's a lot of things on his plate, but Connelly is respected around the league and may well be up to the task.

Neither excited/disappointed by this hire.
Masai Ujuri was a no-name GM (in the publics eye) and he turned out great.
However the difference this time is now the fans believe Josh Kroenke is the GM and
maybe this new GM is using this job as a stepping stone to his next gig.

Denver just hired a great basketball mind. nugs fans should get excited about their future under the vision and leadership of Tim Connelly.

The Incredible Hulk is dead. After wearing a tie while in the form of Bruce Banner and becoming enraged by a traffic jam in the newest issue of his comic, our most green-hued superhero has departed this world for the big temper tantrum in the sky. Marvel has confirmed that no attempt will be made to resurrect the character. He is gone for good.
In memory of the Hulk we all grew up with, let us reflect upon some of his finest comic book appearances and hope that there are bad guys in heaven just waiting to be punched into outer space.
"You Won't Like Me When I'm Mildly Annoyed"
The Incredible Hulk #241
We all know the beast that lives within Bruce Banner, the violent alter-ego that emerges in times of extreme duress. But what happens when he's only slightly upset?
Reed Richards: Thanks for stopping by, Bruce! I've been working on my pan-dimensional soft serve ice cream machine, and could really use your input on this chocolate/vanilla swirl cone. Here, give it a taste.
Bruce Banner: Thanks! I really like chocolate ice cream -
Hulk: BUT HATE VANILLA!
Reed Richards: Fascinating. Perhaps I should recalibrate the nanoinhibitor filtration device. Say, here comes my wife Sue!
Bruce Banner: Always a pleasure to see you, Sue -
Hulk: BUT HALF OF YOU INVISIBLE!
Sue: I'm so sorry about that, sometimes I stay in Invisible Woman mode without even realizing!
Bruce: It's quite alright -
Hulk: but shame make Hulk angry at Hulk.
"The Grocery Store's Door Strikes Again"
The Incredible Hulk #262
The most beguiling enemy of modern man takes on the Hulk in an all-out battle for the ages! 24 action-packed pages of heroism in the face of tyranny!
Manager: You're supposed to pull the door to open it, you oaf!
Hulk: Puny handle said "PUSH"! What aisle for douche?
Manager: Uh, three.
Hulk: Hulk hate girlfriend so much right now.
"Wrong End Of The Rainbow"
The Incredible Hulk #267
For the first time ever, Hulk takes on an enemy he cannot defeat. Will anything ever be the same again?
Hulk: Too many colors for Hulk to smash!
Rainbow Randy: Hulk, no! It's just a rainbow - you can't smash colors.
Hulk: What? What else can't Hulk smash? Love? Music? Chickens? Hulk's entire outlook on universe is smashed!
