SDEV
Type: Command
Description: Standard Deviation Command: Calculates the sample standard deviation of each of the m
columns of coordinate values in the current statistics matrix (reserved variable ΣDAT).
SDEV returns a vector of m real numbers, or a single real number if m = 1. The standard
deviation (the square root of the variances) is computed using this formula:

n 1–
------------
x
i
x–()

i 1=
n
∑
where x
i
is the ith coordinate value in a column, x is the mean of the data in this column, and n is
the number of data points.

SEND
Type: Command
Description: Send Object Command: Sends a copy of the named objects to a Kermit device.
Data is always sent from a local Kermit, but can be sent either to another local Kermit (which
must execute RECV or RECN) or to a server Kermit.
To rename an object when sending it, include the old and new names in an embedded list.

SEQ
Type: Command
Description: Sequential Calculation Command: Returns a list of results generated by repeatedly executing
obj
exec
using index over the range x
start
to x
end
, in increments of x
incr
.
obj
exec
is nominally a program or algebraic object that is a function of index, but can actually be an
object. index must be a global or local name. The remaining objects can be anything that will
evaluate to real numbers.
