#' Scaling Numeric Data
#'
#' `step_scale()` creates a *specification* of a recipe step that will normalize
#' numeric data to have a standard deviation of one.
#'
#' @inheritParams step_center
#' @param sds A named numeric vector of standard deviations. This is `NULL`
#'  until computed by [prep()].
#' @param factor A numeric value of either 1 or 2 that scales the
#'  numeric inputs by one or two standard deviations. By dividing
#'  by two standard deviations, the coefficients attached to
#'  continuous predictors can be interpreted the same way as with
#'  binary inputs. Defaults to `1`. More in reference below.
#' @param na_rm A logical value indicating whether `NA`
#'  values should be removed when computing the standard deviation.
#' @template step-return
#' @family normalization steps
#' @export
#' @details Scaling data means that the standard deviation of a
#'  variable is divided out of the data. `step_scale` estimates
#'  the variable standard deviations from the data used in the
#'  `training` argument of `prep.recipe`.
#'  `bake.recipe` then applies the scaling to new data sets
#'  using these standard deviations.
#'
#'  # Tidying
#'
#'  When you [`tidy()`][tidy.recipe()] this step, a tibble with columns
#'  `terms` (the selectors or variables selected) and `value` (the
#'  standard deviations) is returned.
