normalisation
     
        1.  A transformation applied uniformly to
        each element in a set of data so that the set has some
        specific statistical property.  For example, monthly
        measurements of the rainfall in London might be normalised by
        dividing each one by the total for the year to give a profile
        of rainfall throughout the year.
     
        2.  Representation of a {floating-point} number
        so that its {mantissa}'s left-most digit is non-zero.  If the
        leftmost fraction digit are zeros, the number is said to be
        unnormalised.  Unnormalised numbers are normalised by shifting
        the fraction left, one digit at a time, until the leftmost
        digit is nonzero and reducing the {exponent} by the number of
        shifts.
     
        3.  {database normalisation}.
