Class StandardScaler

java.lang.Object

org.apache.spark.mllib.feature.StandardScaler

public class StandardScaler
extends java.lang.Object

Standardizes features by removing the mean and scaling to unit std using column summary statistics on the samples in the training set.

The "unit std" is computed using the corrected sample standard deviation, which is computed as the square root of the unbiased sample variance.

param: withMean False by default. Centers the data with mean before scaling. It will build a dense output, so this does not work on sparse input and will raise an exception. param: withStd True by default. Scales the data to unit standard deviation.
