How to select a normalization method?

In summary, normalization in scientific research is the process of transforming data to a common scale in order to remove systematic variations and allow for fair comparisons between different samples or treatments. It is important in data analysis because it helps determine whether differences in data are due to biological or experimental variations. When selecting a normalization method, factors such as the type of data, distribution, and goals of the analysis should be considered. Some common methods include Z-score normalization, min-max normalization, and quantile normalization. To determine the most appropriate method, it is recommended to consult with a statistician or data analyst and consider potential limitations and perform sensitivity analyses.

Are are asking for someone to list all the different situations in science and mathematics where it is useful to normalize a function to 1? You'll have better luck if you ask about a single particular situation.
