popsd

Returns the population standard deviation. Note that <code><a href="/link/sd?package=rafalib&version=1.0.4" data-mini-rdoc="rafalib::sd">sd</a></code> returns
the unbiased sample estimate of the population standard deviation. 
It simply multiplies the result of <code><a href="/link/var?package=rafalib&version=1.0.4" data-mini-rdoc="rafalib::var">var</a></code> by (n-1) / n with n 
the population size and takes the square root.

A series of shortcuts for routine tasks originally developed by
Rafael A. Irizarry to facilitate data exploration.
