This document describes transforming a dataset into a standard normal distribution by first subtracting the mean from each value and then dividing the results by the standard deviation. The original dataset is shown along with the calculations to center the data around a mean of 0 and compress the values into a standard deviation of 1, resulting in a standard normal distribution.
