Min-Max Normalization Tool
Scale a numeric dataset to a requested inclusive range.
Description
Scale a numeric dataset to a requested inclusive range.
Min-Max Normalization Tool: Scale a numeric dataset to a requested inclusive range.
When to use Min-Max Normalization
Use this normalization to put numeric features on a defined scale before comparison, visualization, or algorithms sensitive to magnitude.
- Values
- Required list input.
- Target minimum
- Optional number input.
- Target maximum
- Optional number input.
How Min-Max Normalization works
Scale a numeric dataset to a requested inclusive range. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.1
- Normalized values
- The resulting normalized values returned as a list.
- Source minimum
- The resulting source minimum returned as a number.
- Source maximum
- The resulting source maximum returned as a number.
Limitations and assumptions
- Scaling parameters must be learned from the appropriate training or reference population. Constant features, outliers, missing values, leakage, distribution shift, and inverse transformation require explicit policies.
- Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.
Alternative or Complementary approaches
Store the fitted parameters, apply them unchanged to later data, inspect distributions, and compare robust scaling when outliers dominate.
