(
	const Matrix *mp,
	Vector **mean_vpp,
	Vector **stdev_vpp
);

DESCRIPTION

This routine computes the means and stdev of the rows of a matrix and puts the result into the vectors pointed to by *mean_vpp and *stdev_vpp respetively. If we are respecting missing values, then they are excluded from the average. If all values for a colum are missing then the average is set to DBL_MISSING. If either the maean or the standard deviation is not needed, then mean_vpp or stdev_vpp can be NULL. If *mean_vpp or *stdev_vpp are NULL, then a vector of the appropriate size is created. If it is the wrong size, it is resized. Finally, if it is the right size, then the storage is recycled, as is.

RETURNS

NO_ERROR on success, and ERROR on failure, with an error message being set.

DISCLAIMER

This software is not adequatedly tested. It is recomended that results are checked independantly where appropriate.
