Hi Phil, I have created an issue https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-426 and added the code as a svn diff patch to StatUtils.
For 'Affected Version' I have noted 'Nightly Builds' which might not be the correct place. Looking forward for the followup!

It would be great if you could open a JIRA ticket and attach a patch including implementation code. We can talk about how to integrate this into [math] in JIRA comments and / or on the dev list. For now, I will just say that the simplest way to add this would be to add a static method called something like "normalize" to org.apache.commons.math.stat.StatUtils. See http://commons.apache.org/patches.html for info on how to create patches and attach them to JIRA tickets. Do not hesitate to ask either on dev list or in private emails if you need help getting set up. Thanks!
