Hi Asian,

I'm not sure if mlbase code is maintained for the current spark
master. The following is the code we use for standardization in my
company. I'm intended to clean up, and submit a PR. You could use it
for now.

  def standardize(data: RDD[Vector]): RDD[Vector] = {
    val summarizer = new RowMatrix(data).computeColumnSummaryStatistics
    val mean = summarizer.mean
    val variance = summarizer.variance

    // The standardization will always densify the output, so the output
    // will be stored in dense vector.
    data.map(x => {
      val n = x.toBreeze.length
      val output = BDV.zeros[Double](n)
      var i = 0
      while(i < n) {
        if(variance(i) == 0) {
          output(i) = Double.NaN
        } else {
          output(i) = (x(i) - mean(i)) / Math.sqrt(variance(i))
        }
        i += 1
      }
      Vectors.fromBreeze(output)
    })
  }

Sincerely,

DB Tsai
