    This document provides definitions for key terms used in a course on working with predictive analytics in Python. It defines categorical data as data that represents characteristics that can be broken down into nominal or ordinal data. It defines hyperparameter optimization as finding the ideal set of parameters for a prediction algorithm to achieve optimum performance. It also defines normalization and standardization as scaling techniques to transform numerical data values to range between 0 and 1 or be centered around the mean with a unit standard deviation respectively.

    Term Definition

    categorical data Data that represents characteristics and can be further broken down
    into nominal or ordinal data

    hyperparameter The ideal set of parameters for a prediction algorithm with optimum
    optimization performance

    normalization A scaling technique in which values are shifted and rescaled so that
    they end up ranging between 0 and 1; also known as min-max scaling

    numerical data Data that has meaning of a measurement and can be further broken
    down into interval and ratio data

    standardization A scaling technique where the values are centered around the mean
    with a unit standard deviation
