Organizing and Standardizing Data
1.3. Organizing and Standardizing Data#
Learning Outcome
Students will be able to ensure the clarity, completeness, and stability of the data through the organization of that data.
Sample Tasks:
Combine data sets for comprehensive use and analysis.
Wrangle data by labeling variables and sorting, filtering, and arranging data so that it is prepared to answer a given data analytical question.
Scaling data using Simple Feature Scaling and Min-Max Scaling.
Normalizing data using Z-score normalization.
Before organizing and standardizing data, sometimes one must clean the data, as described in Section 1.4. The process of cleaning, organizing, and standardizing is sometimes called “Data Wrangling”.
