Description: Data transformation techniques are methods used to convert data into a different format or structure, facilitating its analysis and processing. These techniques are fundamental in data preprocessing, as they allow for cleaning, normalizing, and structuring information in a way that is more useful for analysis and machine learning models. Data transformation can include type conversion, information aggregation, creation of derived variables, and removal of duplicates, among others. By applying these techniques, the aim is to improve data quality, reduce dimensionality, and optimize the performance of analysis algorithms. In an era where the volume of generated data is overwhelming, the ability to effectively transform and prepare this data has become crucial for organizations seeking to gain valuable insights and make informed decisions.
