variancef - standard deviation of the values of a vector or matrix
This function computes the variance of the values of a vector or matrix x , each of them counted with a frequency signaled by the corresponding values of the integer vector or matrix fre with the same type of x .
For a vector or matrix x , s=variancef(x,fre) (or s=variancef(x,fre,'*') ) returns in scalar s the variance of all the entries of x , each value counted with the multiplicity indicated by the corresponding value of fre .
s=variancef(x,fre,'r') (or, equivalently, s=variancef(x,fre,1) ) returns in each entry of the row vector s of type 1xsize(x,'c') the variance of each column of x , each value counted with the multiplicity indicated by the corresponding value of fre .
s=variancef(x,fre,'c') (or, equivalently, s=variancef(x,fre,2) ) returns in each entry of the column vector s of type size(x,'c') x1 the variance of each row of x , each value counted with the multiplicity indicated by the corresponding value of fre .
