 10.7 Statistical Operations on Vectors
 ======================================
 
 The commands in this section take vectors as arguments and compute
 various statistical measures on the data stored in the vectors.  The
 references used in the definitions of these functions are Bevington’s
 _Data Reduction and Error Analysis for the Physical Sciences_, and
 _Numerical Recipes_ by Press, Flannery, Teukolsky and Vetterling.
 
    The statistical commands use the ‘u’ prefix key followed by a shifted
 letter or other character.
 
    SeeManipulating Vectors, for a description of ‘V H’
 (‘calc-histogram’).
 
    SeeCurve Fitting, for the ‘a F’ command for doing least-squares
 fits to statistical data.
 
    SeeProbability Distribution Functions, for several common
 probability distribution functions.
