What are some advanced data normalization techniques?

Advanced data normalization techniques include methods like Z-score normalization, Min-Max scaling, and Robust scaling.

Can you explain Z-score normalization?

Z-score normalization transforms data to have a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1, making it useful for comparing different datasets.

What is Min-Max scaling and when should I use it?

Min-Max scaling rescales data to a fixed range, usually [0, 1]. It's useful when you need to maintain the relationships between values.

Are there any drawbacks to these techniques?

Yes, Z-score normalization can be sensitive to outliers, while Min-Max scaling can distort data if outliers are present.
