How to Scale All Values For a Specified Column in Python

In this example we will show how to scale all values for specified columns in Python.

Source Code

import pandas as pd
from sklearn.preprocessing import StandardScaler

df = pd.read_csv("advertising.csv")

X = df[["TV", "radio", "newspaper"]]

scaler = StandardScaler()
scaled_X = scaler.fit_transform(X)

print(scaled_X)

Output:
