Often times its useful to normalize (z-score) you features before plotting, so
that they are on the same scale. Otherwise, some features will be weighted more
heavily than others when doing PCA, and that may or may not be what you want.
The normalize kwarg can be passed to the plot function. If normalize is
set to 'across', the zscore will be computed for the column across all of the
lists passed. Conversely, if normalize is set to 'within', the z-score will
be computed separately for each column in each list. Finally, if normalize is
set to 'row', each row of the matrix will be zscored. Alternatively, you can use
the normalize function found in tools (see the third example).
