Good day, I wanted to check if my thoughts are on the right track about feature scaling. Suppose I have n features \mathbf{x} = \langle x_1,\ldots,x_n\rangle and m samples. Let \mu _j and \sigma_j denote the mean and standard deviation of feature x_j. The cost function J(\mathbf{w},b)_{\mathbf{x}} …
