Description

For some datasets with outliers, removing the mean and scaling by the standard deviation may not be ideal because those values are impacted by the outliers. In those cases, it may be better to use the median for centering and the IQR for scaling. This is done by `RobustScaler`. We should make this available in SKLL too.
