C2W3 Assignment: Min/Max values to use for scaling

There is a group of features defined as SCALE_MINMAX_FEATURE_KEYS for which we are asked to scale using the scale_by_min_max but I don’t see instructions for which min/max values to use.

I’m assuming we are not to use min=0 and max=1 because otherwise these would have been combined to the other group that’s using scale_to_0_1

Can a TA please provide values to use?

When you use the scale_by_min_max function for a data column as suggested there, there is no need to provide min and max values, the function will find those and scale accordingly.

@gent.spah

We are concerned about outputs here. Both scale_by_min_max and scale_to_0_1 will produce the same output range when you don’t explicity specify min and max to scale_by_min_max. Please see this for the default arguments.

@tigran Thanks for pointing this. The staff have been notified. For now, please don’t specify min and max and let the function defaults kick in.
