On the Normalization of Data in Chinese Meanings

摘要

Data normalization is important for data analysis so there are many methods of data normalization. Also because of many differences in various disciplines and fields, the concepts and methods of data normalization in literature appear vague and confusing in Chinese translations. In this paper, data normalization and data standardization are two main terms used on the basis of a detailed analysis of the situation. We recommend the "data normalization" corresponding to Chinese translations. Then theoretically, the differences between the two terms are elaborated and the intrinsic meanings and features of data normalization are studied.
