Why Standardize Data to Mean 0 and Variance 1?
The article explains that setting the mean to zero recenters data around the origin, making optimization algorithms converge faster, while scaling variance to one equalizes feature scales so no single feature dominates, illustrated with examples and visualizations of how standardization improves machine‑learning models.
