Preprocessing Techniques Used

• MinMax Scaler
  Scales features to a fixed range, typically between 0 and 1.

• Standard Scaler
  Standardizes features by removing the mean and scaling to unit variance (Z-score normalization).

• MaxAbs Scaler
  Scales each feature by its maximum absolute value; keeps zero-centered data and is useful for sparse data.

• Robust Scaler
  Scales features using statistics that are robust to outliers (median and interquartile range).
