Feature wise normalization: An effective way of normalizing data

作者:

Highlights:

• A novel approach feature-wise normalization (FWN) has been presented to normalize the data.

• FWN normalizes each feature independently from the pools of normalization methods.

• The collective response of multiple methods mitigates the problems of outliers and dominant features more effectively.

• Antlion optimization is used to search for normalization methods along with the parameters of classifiers.

• FWN outperformed conventional data-wise normalization on four popular machine learning algorithms.
