+    Examples
+    --------
+    1) Standardize all variables using their individually estimated mean and stds.
+
+    >>> adapter = (
+            bf.adapters.Adapter()
+                .standardize()
+        )
+
+
+    2) Standardize all with same known mean and std.
+
+    >>> adapter = (
+            bf.adapters.Adapter()
+                .standardize(mean = 5, sd = 10)
+        )
+
+
+    3) Mix of fixed and estimated means/stds. Suppose we have priors for "beta" and "sigma" where we
+    know the means and stds. However for all other variables, the means and stds are unknown.
+    Then standardize should be used in several stages specifying which variables to include or exclude.
+
+    >>> adapter = (
+            bf.adapters.Adapter()
+                # mean fixed, std estimated
+                .standardize(include = "beta", mean = 1)
+                # both mean and SD fixed
+                .standardize(include = "sigma", mean = 0.6, sd = 3)
+                # both means and stds estimated for all other variables
+                .standardize(exclude = ["beta", "sigma"])
