Preprocessing Data
In our daily life, we deal with lots of data but this data is in raw form. To provide the data as the
input of machine learning algorithms, we need to convert it into a meaningful data. That is where
data preprocessing comes into picture. In other simple words, we can say that before providing the
data to the machine learning algorithms we need to preprocess the data.
Step 1: Importing the useful packages: If we are using Python then this would be the first step
for converting the data into a certain format, i.e., preprocessing. It can be done as follows:
import numpy as np
Sklearn.preprocessing: This package provides many common utility functions and transformer
classes to change raw feature vectors into a representation that is more suitable for machine
learning algorithms.
Step 2: Defining sample data: After importing the packages, we need to define some sample data
so that we can apply preprocessing techniques on that data. We will now define the following
sample data:
Input_data = np.array ([2.1, -1.9, 5.5], [-1.5, 2.4, 3.5], [0.5, -7.9, 5.6], [5.9, 2.3, -5.8])
Step3: Applying preprocessing technique: In this step, we need to apply any of the preprocessing
techniques. The following section describes the data preprocessing techniques.

2. TECHNIQUES FOR DATA PREPROCESSING
Binarization
This is the preprocessing technique which is used when we need to convert our numerical values
into Boolean values. We can use an inbuilt method to binarize the input data say by using 0.5 as
the threshold value in the following way:
data_binarized = preprocessing.Binarizer(threshold=0.5).transform(Input_data)
print("\nBinarized data:\n", data_binarized)
Output
Now, after running the above code we will get the following output, all the values above
0.5(threshold value) would be converted to 1 and all the values below 0.5 would be converted to
0.
Mean Removal
It is another very common preprocessing technique that is used in machine learning. Basically it
is used to eliminate the mean from feature vector so that every feature is centered on zero. We can
also remove the bias from the features in the feature vector. For applying mean removal
preprocessing technique on the sample data, we can write the Python code shown below. The code
will display the Mean and Standard deviation of the input data:
We will get the following output after running the above lines of code:

Now, the code below will remove the Mean and Standard deviation of the input data:
data_scaled = preprocessing.scale(input_data)
Provide output in following area after running the above lines of code:
Output
Scaling
It is another data preprocessing technique that is used to scale the feature vectors. Scaling of feature
vectors is needed because the values of every feature can vary between many random values. In
other words we can say that scaling is important because we do not want any feature to be
synthetically large or small. With the help of the following Python code, we can do the scaling of
our input data, i.e., feature vector:
data_scaler_minmax=preprocessing.MinMaxScaler(feature_range=(0,1))

data_scaled_minmax = data_scaler_minmax.fit_transform(Input_data)
Provide output in following area after running the above lines of code:
Output
Normalization
It is another data preprocessing technique that is used to modify the feature vectors. Such kind of
modification is necessary to measure the feature vectors on a common scale. Followings are two
types of normalization which can be used in machine learning:
L1 Normalization
It is also referred to as Least Absolute Deviations. This kind of normalization modifies the values
so that the sum of the absolute values is always up to 1 in each row. It can be implemented on the
input data with the help of the following Python code:
# Normalize data

L2 Normalization
It is also referred to as least squares. This kind of normalization modifies the values so that the
sum of the squares is always up to 1 in each row. It can be implemented on the input data with the
help of the following Python code:
# Normalize data
Provide output in following area after running the above lines of code:
