<p>Feature 0 (median income in a block) and feature 5 (number of households) of
the <a class="reference external" href="http://www.dcc.fc.up.pt/~ltorgo/Regression/cal_housing.html">California housing dataset</a> have very
different scales and contain some very large outliers. These two
characteristics lead to difficulties to visualize the data and, more
importantly, they can degrade the predictive performance of many machine
learning algorithms. Unscaled data can also slow down or even prevent the
convergence of many gradient-based estimators.</p>
<p>Indeed many estimators are designed with the assumption that each feature takes
values close to zero or more importantly that all features vary on comparable
scales. In particular, metric-based and gradient-based estimators often assume
approximately standardized data (centered features with unit variances). A
notable exception are decision tree-based estimators that are robust to
arbitrary scaling of the data.</p>
<p>This example uses different scalers, transformers, and normalizers to bring the
data within a pre-defined range.</p>
<p>Scalers are linear (or more precisely affine) transformers and differ from each
other in the way to estimate the parameters used to shift and scale each
feature.</p>
<p><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">QuantileTransformer</span></code> provides a non-linear transformation in which distances
between marginal outliers and inliers are shrunk.</p>
<p>Unlike the previous transformations, normalization refers to a per sample
transformation instead of a per feature transformation.</p>
<p>The following code is a bit verbose, feel free to jump directly to the analysis
of the <a class="reference internal" href="#results">results</a>.</p>

<p>Each transformation is plotted showing two transformed features, with the
left plot showing the entire dataset, and the right zoomed-in to show the
dataset without the marginal outliers. A large majority of the samples are
compacted to a specific range, [0, 10] for the median income and [0, 6] for
the number of households. Note that there are some marginal outliers (some
blocks have more than 1200 households). Therefore, a specific pre-processing
can be very beneficial depending of the application. In the following, we
present some insights and behaviors of those pre-processing methods in the
presence of marginal outliers.</p>

<h2>StandardScaler<a class="headerlink" href="#standardscaler" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">StandardScaler</span></code> removes the mean and scales the data to unit variance.
However, the outliers have an influence when computing the empirical mean and
standard deviation which shrink the range of the feature values as shown in
the left figure below. Note in particular that because the outliers on each
feature have different magnitudes, the spread of the transformed data on
each feature is very different: most of the data lie in the [-2, 4] range for
the transformed median income feature while the same data is squeezed in the
smaller [-0.2, 0.2] range for the transformed number of households.</p>
<p><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">StandardScaler</span></code> therefore cannot guarantee balanced feature scales in the

<h2>RobustScaler<a class="headerlink" href="#robustscaler" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>Unlike the previous scalers, the centering and scaling statistics of this
scaler are based on percentiles and are therefore not influenced by a few
number of very large marginal outliers. Consequently, the resulting range of
the transformed feature values is larger than for the previous scalers and,
more importantly, are approximately similar: for both features most of the
transformed values lie in a [-2, 3] range as seen in the zoomed-in figure.
Note that the outliers themselves are still present in the transformed data.
If a separate outlier clipping is desirable, a non-linear transformation is
required (see below).</p>

<p>As <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">RobustScaler</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">QuantileTransformer</span></code> is robust to outliers in the
