standardization
The process by which the Department of Defense achieves the closest practicable cooperation among the Services and Department of Defense agencies for the most efficient use of research, development, and production resources, and agrees to adopt on the broadest possible basis the use of: a. common or compatible operational, administrative, and logistic procedures; b. common or compatible technical procedures and criteria; c. common, compatible, or interchangeable supplies, components, weapons, or equipment; and d. common or compatible tactical doctrine with corresponding organizational compatibility. (JP 4-02)

Standardization
While in the everyday language, the term "standardization" means - converting to a common standard or making something conform to a standard (i.e., its meaning is similar to the the term "normalization" in data analysis, see normalization ), in statistics, this term has a very specific meaning and refers to the transformation of data by subtracting each value from some reference value (typically a sample mean) and diving it by the standard deviation (typically a sample SD). This important transformation will bring all values (regardless of their distributions and original units of measurement) to compatible units from a distribution with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1. This transformation has a wide variety of applications because it makes the distributions of values easy to compare across variables and/or subsets. If applied to the input data, standardization also makes the results of a variety of statistical techniques entirely independent of the ranges of values or the units of measurements (see the discussion of these issues in Elementary Concepts , Basic Statistics , Multiple Regression , Factor Analysis , and others).

Standardization
The term standardization or standardisation can have several meanings depending on its context. Common use of the word standard implies that it is a universally agreed-upon set of guidelines for interoperability. However, the plurality of standards-issuing organizations means that a document purporting to be a "standard" doesn't necessarily have the support of many parties. As Grace Hopper said, "The wonderful thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from".
