Normalization
Normalization, or normalisation, is a process that makes something more normal or regular. == Science == Normalization process theory, a sociological theory of the implementation of new technologies or innovations Normalization model, used in visual neuroscience Normalization (quantum mechanics) Normalized solution (mathematics) Normalization (sociology) or social normalization, the process through which ideas and behaviors that may fall outside of social norms come to be regarded as "normal" == Mathematics and statistics == Normalization of an algebraic variety, the operation consisting in taking locally the integral closure of the ring of regular functions Normalization (statistics), adjustments of values or distributions in statistics Quantile normalization, statistical technique for making two distributions identical in statistical properties Normalizing (abstract rewriting), an abstract rewriting system in which every object has at least one normal form Normalization property (abstract rewriting), a property of a rewrite system in mathematical logic and theoretical computer science Normalizing constant, in probability theory a constant to make a non-negative function a probability density function Noether normalization lemma, the result of commutative algebra Vector normalization Normalized number, a number in scientific notation with the decimal point in a consistent position Probability amplitude § Normalization == Technology and computer science == A metallurgic process used in annealing Normalization (image processing), changing the range of pixel intensity values Audio normalization, a process of uniformly increasing or decreasing the amplitude of an audio signal Data normalization, general reduction of data to canonical form Normal number, a floating point number that has exactly one bit or digit to the left of the radix point Database normalization, used in database theory Dimensional normalization, or snowflaking, removal of redundant attributes in a dimensional model NFD normalization (normalization form canonical decomposition), a normalization form decomposition for Unicode string searches and comparisons in text processing Spatial normalization, a step in image processing for neuroimaging Text normalization, modifying text to make it consistent URL normalization, process to modify URLs in a consistent manner Normalization (machine learning), a technique in machine learning to change activation patterns to be on a similar scale.
