scale standard deviations to 1

Good to hear that some experiment was done with this rule-of-thumb. Anyway, did you find that improve your performance? Or some weight re-tune is needed imo.

Btw, are you using some online standard deviations algorithm and update the knn weights on the fly, or just do it offline with pre-collected data?

Yes, I think you mentioned this rule-of-thumb somewhere on the wiki, (or was it somebody else? not sure now) thanks for that. I found that improve my performance. However, I focused on becoming stronger against surfers, which made me weaker against non-surfers.

I just run a battle against some bot, collected the standard deviations and afterwards divided each attribute by the respective std deviation. I found that now the standard deviations remain pretty close to 1 against most bots.

I never thought about normalizing standard deviation for neural networks, because they should adjust themselves to the attributes anyways. But yeah, the learning speed is probably affected by it, I should consider that for further NN experiments :D
