Hi @MUHAMMAD_USAMA_SHABB

Welcome to the community.

There are indeed more methods for feature scaling available and each of has its own strengths and is suitable for different types of data and different use cases. The choice of scaling method depends on your specific requirements and the nature of your data.

Here it are some examples:

  • Robust Scaler
  • Quantile Transformer Scaler
  • Power Transformer Scaler
  • Unit Vector Scaler/Normalizer

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Best regards
