Hei Jukka, thanks a lot for thorough testing! (hope we find time for 
fixing the issues: i.e. raster paste error)

ok.. lets start with the easy one that I can anwser [Matthias may answer 
the other one on the styling].

to caclulate mean and variance for an attribute one can use 
 >Statistics>Layer Attribute Statistics.
However during my research I needed mean and variance for a particular 
attribute, but then with respect to a classification. For instance I 
have a layer of buildings and one (numeric) attribute describes the 
building type, e.g. 1=industrial, 2=housing, 3=commmercial. Also for 
each building I have the sales price. Now I want to know the mean and 
variance of the sales price accordings to each category. So this 
function should allow to do this. However, instead of the example above 
with classes formed by meaning, classes can be also derived with 
classification methods (see the other function).

I hope the example makes the use of the function clear.
