How to normalize the Train and Test data using MinMaxScaler sklearn

You should fit the MinMaxScaler using the training data and then apply the scaler on the testing data before the prediction.

---

In summary:

• Step 1: fit the scaler on the TRAINING data
• Step 2: use the scaler to transform the TRAINING data
• Step 3: use the transformed training data to fit the predictive model
• Step 4: use the scaler to transform the TEST data
• Step 5: predict using the trained model (step 3) and the transformed TEST data (step 4).

Example using your data:

from sklearn import preprocessing
min_max_scaler = preprocessing.MinMaxScaler()
#training data
df = pd.DataFrame({'A':[1,2,3,7,9,15,16,1,5,6,2,4,8,9],'B':[15,12,10,11,8,14,17,20,4,12,4,5,17,19],'C':['Y','Y','Y','Y','N','N','N','Y','N','Y','N','N','Y','Y']})
#fit and transform the training data and use them for the model training
df[['A','B']] = min_max_scaler.fit_transform(df[['A','B']])
df['C'] = df['C'].apply(lambda x: 0 if x.strip()=='N' else 1)

#fit the model
model.fit(df['A','B'])

#after the model training on the transformed training data define the testing data df_test
df_test = pd.DataFrame({'A':[25,67,24,76,23],'B':[2,54,22,75,19]})

#before the prediction of the test data, ONLY APPLY the scaler on them
df_test[['A','B']] = min_max_scaler.transform(df_test[['A','B']])

#test the model
y_predicted_from_model = model.predict(df_test['A','B'])

Example using iris data:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from sklearn import datasets
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
from sklearn.preprocessing import MinMaxScaler
from sklearn.svm import SVC

data = datasets.load_iris()
X = data.data
y = data.target

X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.3, random_state=0)

scaler = MinMaxScaler()
X_train_scaled = scaler.fit_transform(X_train)

model = SVC()
model.fit(X_train_scaled, y_train)

X_test_scaled = scaler.transform(X_test)
y_pred = model.predict(X_test_scaled)

Hope this helps.

Best way is train and save MinMaxScaler model and load the same when it's required.

Saving model:

df = pd.DataFrame({'A':[1,2,3,7,9,15,16,1,5,6,2,4,8,9],'B':[15,12,10,11,8,14,17,20,4,12,4,5,17,19],'C':['Y','Y','Y','Y','N','N','N','Y','N','Y','N','N','Y','Y']})
df[['A','B']] = min_max_scaler.fit_transform(df[['A','B']])  
pickle.dump(min_max_scaler, open("scaler.pkl", 'wb'))

Loading saved model:

scalerObj = pickle.load(open("scaler.pkl", 'rb'))
df_test = pd.DataFrame({'A':[25,67,24,76,23],'B':[2,54,22,75,19]})
df_test[['A','B']] = scalerObj.transform(df_test[['A','B']])
