In this article, you will learn how MinMaxScaler, StandardScaler, and RobustScaler transform skewed, outlier-heavy data, and how to pick the right one for your modeling pipeline.
Topics we will cover include:
- How each scaler works and where it breaks on skewed or outlier-rich data
- A realistic synthetic dataset to stress-test the scalers
- A practical, code-ready heuristic for choosing a scaler
Read on to learn more about each of these three scaler types, the use cases that best fit each of them, and even a flow chart at the end.
