Your data shows a notable difference between the mean and the median values. Which type of scaling would be least affected by this discrepancy?
- All scaling methods are affected by this discrepancy
- Min-Max scaling because it scales all values between 0 and 1
- Robust scaling because it uses median and quartile ranges
- Z-score standardization because it creates a normal distribution
Robust scaling uses the median and interquartile range to scale the data, so it is not affected by the mean and is thus least affected by a discrepancy between the mean and the median.
