Dataset cleaning and splitting @@ -105,7 +150,10 @@ Add table 1,2 Data normalization is a standardization technique for transforming variables to have a common scale. When working with data from different sources or formats, there can be variations in how it is represented, such as differences in units of measurement, data formats, and data structures, making it difficult to compare variables or perform statistical analysis. Data standardization is a crucial step in such cases. The major challenge faced after data collection is processing the raw data to make it compatible with the ML models used. For instance, there was a considerable difference in our dataset between the numerical values of cement, w/c, and normal aggregate used. This difference adversely affected the accuracy of our model. This issue was tackled using the data normalization technique. Data normalization means transforming data into the unit sphere or scaling down the actual values to numerical indexes between 0 and 1. It leads to data cleansing and convergence and significantly enhances the model's efficiency. It also improves data execution by reducing the data set's redundancy. The governing equation taken into consideration for data normalization is mentioned below, where the normalized value of a certain input variable is a function of the actual, minimum, and maximum values of that variable in the data set. The normalized dataset has been plotted in figure 4 below -Add EQ1 +\begin{equation} +y = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^{n} \left( x_i - \bar{x} \right) \left( y_i - \bar{y} \right)}{\sqrt{\sum_{i=1}^{n} \left( x_i - \bar{x} \right)^2} \sqrt{\sum_{i=1}^{n} \left( y_i - \bar{y} \right)^2}} +\label{eq:Eq 1} +\end{equation}The correlation matrix of each input with a particular output has been shown separately for a deeper understanding. Keeping the number of input and output parameters in consideration in a single correlation matrix made the visualization difficult. From the correlation matrices, it is evident that the LWA density was the primary factor controlling compressive strength. As per S.A.Khan et al. [@doi:10.1155/2024/8263261], the difference between normal-weight concrete and lightweight concrete is that lightweight concrete fails due to the failure of aggregates, not matrix so failure concrete with increased lightweight aggregate density had increased compressive strengths as well. Also, an increase in the water-cement ratio causes a decrease in compressive strength, which can also be seen in the graph. Similarly the total fines content or total normal weight aggregate content has a good positive correlation with split tensile strength and concrete density which is also supported by the literature.
