https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_deviation says

In statistics, the standard deviation (SD, also represented by the Greek letter 
sigma σ or the Latin letter s) is a measure that is used to quantify the amount 
of variation or dispersion of a set of data values.

But technically, our #stdev is only one of several variants, namely 'corrected 
sample standard deviation' 
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_deviation#Corrected_sample_standard_deviation]

But you probably searched for it and did not find it since it was abbreviated 
...

indeed and we have a funky abbreviation.
I started an interesting book on DSP for dummies (engineers like me) and I would like to see what we can do. www.dspguide.com. I like that he does not focus on math for their correctness.

Hi guys


is stdev a typical name for standardDeviation?

Because I found it sad to have mean and stdev instead of mean and 
standardDeviation.
