+                This object represents something that can learn to normalize a set 
+                of vectors.  In particular, normalized vectors should have zero
+                mean and a variance of one.  
+
+                Also, if desired, this object can also use principal component 
+                analysis for the purposes of reducing the number of elements in a 
+                vector.
