This chapter contains functions to compute basic statistical quantities such as the mean,
variance or quantiles of a data matrix. Utility routines for standardizing the data are
also available, and correlation and covariance matrices can also be computed. For more information on basic statistical quantities, see cite:t:da_rice, cite:t:da_kozw2000.
These functions operate on a n_rows \(\times\) n_cols matrix stored in either column- or row-major order.
