Notes

The raw data for this project originates from XXX. For this project, the raw data was scaled and standardized several ways. First, each variable was assigned to a category where a high value equates to a high opportunity (“higher value is better”), or where a high value equates to a low opportunity (“lower is better”).

Z-score

The z-score value represents the number of standard deviations x is from the mean. The z-score calculation is:

Where “higher is better”: z \, score = \frac{x - mean}{standard\,deviation}\\

Where “lower is better”: z \, score = \frac{x - mean}{standard\,deviation}\times (-1)\\
