I know I'm off topic and maybe a day late, but I'm pained by the naming of
ddof.
It is simply not intuitive for anyone other than the person who thought it
up (and from my recollection, maybe not even for him).For one, most
stats folk use 'df' as the abbreviation for 'degrees of freedom'. Sec
Anne, Travis,
I have no problem to get rid of varu and stdu in MaskedArray: they were
introduced for my own convenience, and they're indeed outdated with the
introduction of the ddof parameters. I'll get rid of them next time I post
something on the SVN.
