function stddev

Returns the standard deviation of X, optionally omitting a value.

Syntax
result = stddev(X [, omit])

Arguments
X:   A matrix.
omit:   A value to be omitted when calculating the standard deviation.


Switches
/x:   Calculate the standard deviation along the first axis
/y:   Calculate the standard deviation along the second axis
/z:   Calculate the standard deviation along the third axis
/xy:   Calculate the standard deviation along the first and second axes
/xz:   Calculate the standard deviation along the first and third axes
/yz:   Calculate the standard deviation along the second and third axes


Examples
To get a 1D vector of the standard deviation of all slices along a 3D cube:
   v = stddev(cube, /xy)
