Why Data Preprocessing is Important

Why Data Preprocessing is Important

Financial datasets often require preprocessing before they can be used for machine learning.

Proper preprocessing improves data quality and enhances prediction accuracy.

Common preprocessing tasks include:

Removing missing values
Handling duplicate records
Feature engineering
Selecting relevant variables
Normalizing or scaling numerical data (when required)

High-quality input data enables machine learning models to identify meaningful relationships more effectively.
