# make a copy of dataframe
scaled_features = df.copy()
col_names = ['co_1', 'col_2', 'col_3', 'col_4']
features = scaled_features[col_names]
# Use scaler of choice; here Standard scaler is used
scaler = StandardScaler().fit(features.values)
features = scaler.transform(features.values)
scaled_features[col_names] = features
