 * `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.
 
-`StandardScaler` is a `Model` which can be `fit` on a dataset to produce a `StandardScalerModel`; this amounts to computing summary statistics.  The model can then transform a `Vector` column in a dataset to have unit standard deviation and/or zero mean features.

 Note that if the standard deviation of a feature is zero, it will return default `0.0` value in the `Vector` for that feature.
