Importance of Data Normalization in Complex Environmental Data Sets

Prior to making any statistical interference, the distribution of the metal and TSS data is required to be assessed if outlier concentrations are present due to variability in the measurement or experimental error. This pre-processing procedure is referred to as:

Data Normalization

The goal of normalization is to...
