Jun 25, 2018 at 6:02 comment added Deepak Chawla I have a doubt what is the difference between mean normalization and feature scaling and why we are using both techniques simultaneously..??
May 3, 2018 at 22:52 comment added smci @AnnaVopureta: yes, "scaling" can mean either dividing by the min-max range or the s.d. The advantage of the former is the result is bounded to [0,1] or [-1,1], whereas dividing by the sd the result is not bounded, which can cause problems (esp. with outliers) in feature generation or some models.
May 3, 2018 at 16:22 comment added PlsWork As a side note, an often used alternative is to divide by the standard deviation instead of (f_max - f_min).

Mar 15, 2016 at 20:10 comment added Fang Cao thanks for the answer. but i noticed the last line of code should be (x2-mean(x2)) / (max(x2) - min(x2))
