Standardize

Standardize means adjusting data or items to follow a common format or set of standards. For example, when converting different units of measurement to a single standard (like all temperatures in Celsius), you're standardizing. In data analysis, standardization often involves transforming data so that it has a consistent scale, typically with a mean of zero and a standard deviation of one, making comparisons more meaningful. This process helps ensure that different data points are comparable and that analyses or processes are consistent across various contexts or systems.
