Data Normalization
Standardization and scaling techniques.

Data Normalization
Data normalization ensures that all features in a dataset have similar scales. This is crucial for algorithms like gradient descent and distance-based models. In this lesson, we’ll explore standardization and scaling techniques.

Why Normalize Data?
Normalization ensures that all features contribute equally to the model. Without normalization, features with larger scales can dominate the learning process.
Example:
- Age (0-100) and income (0-100,000) should be scaled to comparable ranges.
