Fit Feature Scaler Node

AI/ML/Preprocessing

Learn per-feature offsets and scales from a training table. Distance- and gradient-based models (Logistic Regression, Elastic Net, SVM, KNN, Gaussian Mixture) only behave when their features share a scale.

Execution trigger that begins fitting the scaler

Method

String
method

Standard centers each feature and divides it by its standard deviation. MinMax squeezes each feature into the Min..Max range. MaxAbs divides each feature by its largest absolute value, keeping zeros at zero.

Default Standard

Min

Float
min

Lower bound of the target range. Only read when Method is MinMax.

Default 0

Max

Float
max

Upper bound of the target range. Only read when Method is MinMax.

model

Thread-safe handle to the fitted scaler. Feed it to Apply Transform to scale any table with these statistics.

Offsets

Float Array
offsets

Value subtracted from each feature before scaling: the mean for Standard, the minimum for MinMax, zero for MaxAbs

Scales

Float Array
scales

Multiplier applied to each feature. linfa stores the reciprocal, so this is 1/std for Standard and 1/(max-min) for MinMax, and it stays 1 for constant features.
