Feature Scaling in Machine Learning Author: Bindeshwar Singh Kushwaha Postnetwork Academy Why Feature Scaling? Machine learning algorithms often struggle when input features have different scales. Example: Total number of rooms might range from 6 to 39,320, while median incomes range from 0 to 15. Two common methods to scale features: Min-Max Scaling (Normalization) Standardization Min-Max
