Normalization or normalisation may refer to:

Mathematics and statistics

• Normalization (statistics), adjustments of values or distributions in statistics
  • Quantile normalization, statistical technique for making two distributions identical in statistical properties
• Normalizing (abstract rewriting), an abstract rewriting system in which every object has at least one normal form

• The process of obtaining a normalized vector

Science
