Scaling & Centering Data - NHANES Example
Lesson
In this lesson, we will learn how to scale and center a dataset. We will: Use a sample NHANES dataset to understand why we need to scale and center the data Scale the data and see it's impact on the standard deviation, variance, and covariance of the dataset Center the data and see it's impact on the standard deviation, variance, and covariance of the dataset Scale and Center (ie Standardize) the dataset
