If the Scale Variables option is checked (which is the  default), Array Studio uses an adjusted "unit variance" scaling (similar to the methods used by programs like SIMCA).  The variables are first centered and then scaled using unit variance, with the scaling factor determined by;

                Standard Deviation * Sqr((n-1)/n)

If the checkbox is not checked, then no scaling occurs.
