In unsupervised learning, the scaling of the features has a great influence on the result. If a feature has a variance that is many times greater, it can dominate the target function of the algorithm. Therefore, it is of great importance to scale the input data in a way that their variability matches or at least does not contradict the semantics. There are ...

Standardisation
There are many reasons why we'd want to stardardise the data. The two most common ones are:
In the cases where we want to apply an algorithm for which it would
make sense to standardise. For instance, say you have a dataset
where each row is a person and for each person you have two columns:
The weight in kgs and the Height in meters. You ...

If I understand correctly, you are trying to get a mean score for each vendor and you have multiple raters (people) who rate the vendors, but their scores are unreliable (because they consistently underrate or overrate a vendor).
In that case one option would be to z-score (standardization) the raters' scores (not the vendors'), such that all scores for ...
