lightbulbAbout this topic
Min-Max Normalization is a data preprocessing technique used to scale numerical features to a specific range, typically [0, 1]. It transforms each feature by subtracting the minimum value and dividing by the range (maximum - minimum), ensuring that all features contribute equally to the analysis and improving the performance of machine learning algorithms.

Key research themes

1. How does Min-Max normalization impact clustering-based delineation of management zones in precision agriculture?

This research area investigates the role of Min-Max normalization and other normalization methods in improving the clustering of agricultural spatial data, which is essential for delineating management zones (MZs). Since clustering algorithms like fuzzy C-means rely on similarity measures sensitive to variable scales, normalization can critically affect the quality of MZ delineation, influencing economic and environmental outcomes.

Key finding: The study experimentally demonstrates that when multiple crop-related variables with different scales are clustered using Euclidean distance in fuzzy C-means, normalization is necessary. Among tested methods, Min-Max... Read more
Key finding: Analyzing normalization impact on Multicriteria Decision Making problems, the paper discusses that Min-Max normalization is robust for transforming heterogeneous criteria scales into a dimensionless, comparable range. The... Read more

2. What are the comparative effects of normalization methods on neural network performance, particularly focusing on Min-Max normalization and its variants?

This area explores how different data normalization techniques affect the training and predictive performance of neural networks, especially backpropagation networks. Since normalization impacts learning convergence and accuracy, detailed comparisons among Min-Max, Z-score, median-MAD, decimal scaling, and adjusted Min-Max provide actionable insights on method selection for optimizing neural network-based models.

Key finding: The study applies multiple normalization methods, including Min-Max, Norm, Decimal scaling, Mean-Man, Median-Mad, and Z-score normalization to real UCI datasets for backpropagation neural networks. Results show Mean-Mad and... Read more

3. How can normalization be mathematically formulated and regularized for advanced data modeling problems including dimensionality reduction and eigenvalue computation?

This research theme deals with normalization formalization and its integration into algorithmic solutions for complex mathematical problems such as multidimensional scaling (MDS) and eigenvalue problem solving. The studies emphasize regularization techniques, interval data normalization, and normalized system transformations to improve computational stability and solution accuracy.

Key finding: The paper tackles normalization within nonlinear multidimensional scaling (MDS) using radial basis functions (RBF), highlighting the need to select RBF centers effectively. By treating center selection as a multitask learning... Read more
