Standardize continuous variables.

Standardizes (centers and scales) continuous variable in a dataset, leaving discrete variables untouched.

scaleContinuous(data, discrete, sdx = 1)

`data`	A data frame or matrix of variables to be scaled.
`discrete`	Either a logical vector which is `TRUE` for discrete variables and `FALSE` for continuous ones or a vector of column numbers of discrete variables.
`sdx`	The standard deviation of the columns for the continuous variables.

A data frame with the same dimensions as data where the continuous variables are centered and scaled.
