Which scaling technique is most affected by the presence of outliers?
- Min-Max scaling
- Robust scaling
- Standardization
- nan
The Min-Max scaling technique, which scales the data to a fixed range (usually 0 to 1), is highly sensitive to the presence of outliers. It shrinks the range of the feature values, so the outliers can drastically change the ranges of the attributes.
