I hope that someday Octave will include more statistics functions. If
you would like to help improve Octave in this area, please contact

<DT><U>Function File:</U> <B>mean</B> <I>(<VAR>x</VAR>)</I>
<DD><A NAME="IDX760"></A>
If <VAR>x</VAR> is a vector, compute the mean of the elements of <VAR>x</VAR>
If <VAR>x</VAR> is a matrix, compute the mean for each column and return them
in a row vector.
</DL>

If <VAR>x</VAR> is a vector, compute the median value of the elements of
<VAR>x</VAR>.
If <VAR>x</VAR> is a matrix, compute the median value for each
column and return them in a row vector.

<DT><U>Function File:</U> <B>std</B> <I>(<VAR>x</VAR>)</I>
<DD><A NAME="IDX762"></A>
If <VAR>x</VAR> is a vector, compute the standard deviation of the elements
of <VAR>x</VAR>.
If <VAR>x</VAR> is a matrix, compute the standard deviation for
each column and return them in a row vector.

a variable, the (<VAR>i</VAR>,<VAR>j</VAR>)-th entry of
<CODE>cov (<VAR>x</VAR>, <VAR>y</VAR>)</CODE> is the covariance between the <VAR>i</VAR>-th

<DD><A NAME="IDX766"></A>
Return the Mahalanobis' D-square distance between the multivariate
samples <VAR>x</VAR> and <VAR>y</VAR>, which must have the same number of
components (columns), but may have a different number of observations
(rows).
