Preprocessing Data

Data cleaning, smoothing, grouping

Data sets can require preprocessing techniques to ensure accurate, efficient, or meaningful analysis. Data cleaning refers to methods for finding, removing, and replacing bad or missing data. Detecting local extrema and abrupt changes can help to identify significant data trends. Smoothing and detrending are processes for removing noise and linear trends from data, while scaling changes the bounds of the data. Grouping and binning methods are techniques that identify relationships among the data variables.
