Scaling Numeric Values Only in a DataFrame with Mixed Types
Scaling Numeric Values Only in a DataFrame with Mixed Types =========================================================== In this article, we will explore how to scale numeric values only in a dataframe that contains mixed data types. The goal is to center and scale the numeric variables while keeping the character fields unchanged. Background When working with dataframes, it’s common to have a mix of different data types such as numbers, characters, and dates. While scaling numerical variables can be useful for certain analysis tasks like standardization or feature engineering, we don’t want to apply this transformation to non-numeric columns.
