dear all,
I think adding this to the GUI and extend it to operate on lists is a great
idea. We should be careful about definitions, though - "standardize" means
"center on the mean AND divide by standard deviation". Probably something
more neutral like "scale" or "rescale" is more suitable for a
function which
can be flagged to either center only or center + divide by s.d. (with or
without d.f. correction)
I think Stefano has a point here; if I had to choose, I'd go by "rescale".
