## @deftypefnx {} {} std (@var{x}, @var{w}, @qcode{"ALL"})
## Compute the standard deviation of the elements of the vector @var{x}.
##
## The standard deviation is defined as
## @tex
## $$
## {\rm std} (x) = \sigma = \sqrt{{\sum_{i=1}^N (x_i - \bar{x})^2 \over N - 1}}
## $$
## where $\bar{x}$ is the mean value of @var{x} and $N$ is the number of elements of @var{x}.
## @end tex
## @ifnottex
##
## @example
## @group
## std (@var{x}) = sqrt ( 1/(N-1) SUM_i (@var{x}(i) - mean(@var{x}))^2 )
## @end group
## @end example
##
## @noindent
## where @math{N} is the number of elements of the @var{x} vector.
## @end ifnottex
##
## If @var{x} is an array, compute the standard deviation for each column and
## return them in a row vector (or for an n-D array, the result is returned as
## an array of dimension 1 x n x m x @dots{}).
##
## The optional argument @var{w} determines the weighting scheme to use.  Valid
## values are:
##
## @table @asis
## @item 0 [default]:
## Normalize with @math{N-1}.  This provides the square root of the best
## unbiased estimator of the variance.
##
## @item 1:
## Normalize with @math{N}. This provides the square root of the second moment
## around the mean.
##
## @item a vector:
## Compute the weighted standard deviation with nonnegative scalar weights. The
## length of @var{w} must be equal to the size of @var{x} along dimension
## @var{dim}.
## @end table
##
## If @math{N} is equal to 1 the value of @var{W} is ignored and
## normalization by @math{N} is used.
##
## The optional variable @var{dim} forces @code{std} to operate over the
## specified dimension.  @var{dim} can either be a scalar dimension or a vector
## of non-repeating dimensions over which to operate.  Dimensions must be
## positive integers, and the standard deviation is calculated over the array
## slice defined by @var{dim}.
##
## Specifying dimension @qcode{"ALL"} will force @code{std} to operate on all
## elements of @var{x}, and is equivalent to @code{std (@var{x}(:))}.
##
## When @var{dim} is a vector or @qcode{"ALL"}, @var{w} must be either 0 or 1.
