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.
