Hi Marta,

It really depends on the model.

If you are looking for interpretability – you don’t want to standardize any features.

If you are looking for predictive power, you want to standardize all of them.

You are implying that there could be a mix. Yes, this is usually done when you’ve got dummy variables. You’d standardize all features, but the dummies.

Best,
