1. Importance of Data Cleaning
• Real-world data is often noisy, incomplete, or inconsistent.
• Cleaning improves data quality and model performance.
---
2. Handling Missing Data
• Detect missing values using
• Strategies to handle missing data:

* Impute missing values with mean, median, or mode:
---
3. Handling Outliers
• Outliers can skew analysis and model results.
• Detect outliers using:
* Boxplots
* Z-score method
* IQR (Interquartile Range)
• Handle by removal or transformation.
---
4. Data Normalization and Scaling
• Many ML models require features to be on a similar scale.
• Common techniques:
* Min-Max Scaling (scales values between 0 and 1)
* Standardization (mean = 0, std = 1)
---
5. Encoding Categorical Variables
• Convert categorical data into numerical:
* Label Encoding: Assigns an integer to each category.
* One-Hot Encoding: Creates binary columns for each category.
---
6. Summary
• Data cleaning is essential for reliable modeling.
• Handling missing values, outliers, scaling, and encoding are key preprocessing steps.
---
Exercise
• Load a dataset, identify missing values, and apply mean imputation.
