| std.data {smoothSurv} | R Documentation |
Chosen columns of a data.frame are standardized by
using a sample mean and sample standard deviation.
std.data(datain, cols)
datain |
Input data frame. |
cols |
A character vector with names of the columns to be standardized. |
For each chosen column the sample mean and the sample standard deviation is computed and then used to standardize the column. Missing values are ignored when computing the mean and the standard deviation.
A data.frame with same variables as the input data.frame.
Chosen columns are standardized.
