maybe it's better to pass this via MeanStdScaling as a kwarg? since it's already exposed via Statistics.std anyway?

I see where you're coming from by leaving it up to the user. I guess it would just be inconvenient in the case that came up for me. I would rather change my downstream test case so that the data doesn't end up being one row, than add corrected=(length(x) != 1) to MeanStdScaling in the transform pipeline, in the source code.

yeah I think it's better to not make those kinds of assumptions in the code here, especially when Statistics.std doesn't. In the instance of edge-case we just have to handle it on that end.

Can we just pass generic kwargs...? Or does it get confused about what to do with the dims kwarg?
Closes #89 by adding an optional kwarg
correctedwhich is passed to thestdfunction.
