Decimal Scaling in Data Normalization

Data normalization is a crucial technique in data mining that transforms dataset values to a common scale, enhancing the performance of machine learning algorithms. It addresses issues arising from attributes on different scales, which can negatively impact data models. Common methods of normalization include Decimal Scaling, Min-Max Normalization, and z-Score Normalization.

Data Normalization in Data Mining

CBS
Data normalization
Data normalization is a technique used in data
mining to transform the values of a dataset into a
common scale. This is important because many
machine learning algorithms are sensitive to the
scale of the input features and can produce better
results when the data is normalized. Normalization
is used to scale the data of an attribute so that it
falls in a smaller range, such as -1.0 to 1.0 or 0.0 to
1.0. It is generally useful for classification
algorithms.
Need of Normalization

• Normalization is generally required when we are


dealing with attributes on a different scale, otherwise,
it may lead to a dilution in effectiveness of an
important equally important attribute(on lower scale)
because of other attribute having values on larger
scale. In simple words, when multiple attributes are
there but attributes have values on different scales,
this may lead to poor data models while performing
data mining operations. So they are normalized to
bring all the attributes on the same scale.
Methods of Data Normalization

• Decimal Scaling
• Min-Max Normalization
• z-Score Normalization(zero-mean
Normalization)
Decimal Scaling Method For Normalization

• It normalizes by moving the decimal point of


values of the data. To normalize the data by
this technique, we divide each value of the
data by the maximum absolute value of data.
The data value, vi, of data is normalized to vi'
by using the formula below –
where j is the smallest integer such that max(|vi'|)<1.
Example :
Let the input data is: -10, 201, 301, -401, 501, 601, 701. To normalize the
above data,
Step 1: Maximum absolute value in given data(m): 701
Step 2: Divide the given data by 1000 (i.e j=3)
Result: The normalized data is: -0.01, 0.201, 0.301, -0.401, 0.501, 0.601,
0.701
Min-Max Normalization

• In this technique of data normalization, linear


transformation is performed on the original
data. Minimum and maximum value from data
is fetched and each value is replaced
according to the following formula.
Where A is the attribute data, Min(A), Max(A) are the minimum and maximum
absolute value of A respectively. v' is the new value of each entry in data. v is
the old value of each entry in data. new_max(A), new_min(A) is the max and
min value of the range(i.e boundary value of range required) respectively.
Z-score normalization

In this technique, values are normalized based on mean and standard


deviation of the data A. The formula used is:

v', v is the new and old of each entry in data respectively. σ A, A is


the standard deviation and mean of A respectively.
