StandardScaler()?

Hi, I’d like to ask a question on the code given in the answer to Question 1. As we are working on numerical data here, why we don’t use StandardScaler() anymore? Thanks!

Hello, here we are using tree based models, which do not require scaling (but will not suffer from it), as mentioned in the Preprocessing for numerical features notebook.

Thank you ArturoAmorQ! Sorry I forgot this

Don’t worry. Maybe we should add a reminder at some point of the course :slight_smile:
