  2. Normalization (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normalization_(statistics)

    In statistics and applications of statistics, normalization can have a range of meanings. [1] In the simplest cases, normalization of ratings means adjusting values measured on different scales to a notionally common scale, often prior to averaging. In more complicated cases, normalization may refer to more sophisticated adjustments where the ...

  3. Database normalization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_normalization

    Database normalization is the process of structuring a relational database in accordance with a series of so-called normal forms in order to reduce data redundancy and improve data integrity. It was first proposed by British computer scientist Edgar F. Codd as part of his relational model. Normalization entails organizing the columns ...

  4. First normal form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_normal_form

    First normal form (1NF) is a property of a relation in a relational database. A relation is in first normal form if and only if no attribute domain has relations as elements. [1] Or more informally, that no table column can have tables as values. Database normalization is the process of representing a database in terms of relations in standard ...

  5. Feature scaling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feature_scaling

    Without normalization, the clusters were arranged along the x-axis, since it is the axis with most of variation. After normalization, the clusters are recovered as expected. In machine learning, we can handle various types of data, e.g. audio signals and pixel values for image data, and this data can include multiple dimensions. Feature ...

  6. Third normal form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_normal_form

    Third normal form (3NF) is a database schema design approach for relational databases which uses normalizing principles to reduce the duplication of data, avoid data anomalies, ensure referential integrity, and simplify data management. It was defined in 1971 by Edgar F. Codd, an English computer scientist who invented the relational model for ...

  7. Second normal form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_normal_form

    Second normal form (2NF), in database normalization, is a normal form. A relation is in the second normal form if it fulfills the following two requirements: It is in first normal form. It does not have any non-prime attribute that is functionally dependent on any proper subset of any candidate key of the relation (i.e. it lacks partial ...

  8. Normalization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normalization

    Normalization property (abstract rewriting), a property of a rewrite system in mathematical logic and theoretical computer science. Normalizing constant, in probability theory a constant to make a non-negative function a probability density function. Noether normalization lemma, the result of commutative algebra. Vector normalization.

  9. Quantile normalization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantile_normalization

    Quantile normalization. In statistics, quantile normalization is a technique for making two distributions identical in statistical properties. To quantile-normalize a test distribution to a reference distribution of the same length, sort the test distribution and sort the reference distribution. The highest entry in the test distribution then ...
