Hi Troels,

For the user function description, could you expand the STD acronym?
I guess this is the standard deviation
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_deviation), but STD is not the
standard acronym for this (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STD and
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexually_transmitted_infection).  SD is
the normal acronym.

Cheers,

Edward
