  2. Normalization (statistics) - Wikipedia

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

    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 intention is to bring the entire probability distributions of adjusted values into alignment.

  3. Star schema - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_schema

    In computing, the star schema or star model is the simplest style of data mart schema and is the approach most widely used to develop data warehouses and dimensional data marts. [1]

  4. Feature scaling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feature_scaling

    Also known as min-max scaling or min-max normalization, rescaling is the simplest method and consists in rescaling the range of features to scale the range in [0, 1] or [−1, 1]. Selecting the target range depends on the nature of the data. The general formula for a min-max of [0, 1] is given as: [3]

  5. Normalization (machine learning) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normalization_(machine...

    In machine learning, normalization is a statistical technique with various applications. There are two main forms of normalization, namely data normalization and activation normalization . Data normalization (or feature scaling ) includes methods that rescale input data so that the features have the same range, mean, variance, or other ...

  6. Data warehouse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_warehouse

    Data Warehouse and Data mart overview, with Data Marts shown in the top right.. In computing, a data warehouse (DW or DWH), also known as an enterprise data warehouse (EDW), is a system used for reporting and data analysis and is a core component of business intelligence. [1]

  7. Dimensional modeling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensional_modeling

    Dimensional normalization or snowflaking removes redundant attributes, which are known in the normal flatten de-normalized dimensions. Dimensions are strictly joined together in sub dimensions. Snowflaking has an influence on the data structure that differs from many philosophies of data warehouses. [ 4 ]

  8. Sixth normal form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sixth_normal_form

    The sixth normal form is currently as of 2009 being used in some data warehouses where the benefits outweigh the drawbacks, [9] for example using anchor modeling.Although using 6NF leads to an explosion of tables, modern databases can prune the tables from select queries (using a process called 'table elimination' - so that a query can be solved without even reading some of the tables that the ...

  9. Quantile normalization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantile_normalization

    To quantile normalize two or more distributions to each other, without a reference distribution, sort as before, then set to the average (usually, arithmetic mean) of the distributions. So the highest value in all cases becomes the mean of the highest values, the second highest value becomes the mean of the second highest values, and so on.
