Calling Sequence
s=center(x) s=center(x,'r') or s=center(x,1) s=center(x,'c') or s=center(x,2)
Arguments
- x: real or complex vector or matrix 
Description
This function  computes s, the  centred version of
    the numerical matrix x.
     
    For  a  vector  or  a  matrix  x,  s=center(x)
    returns in  the (i,j) coefficient of  the matrix s 
    the  value (x(i,j)-xbar), where  xbar is
    the mean of the values of the coefficients of x.
     
    s=center(x,'r')      (or,      equivalently,     
    s=center(x,1)) is  the rowwise center  reduction of the
    values of x.  It  returns in the entry s(i,j)
    the  value (x(i,j)-xbarv(j))(j)  with xbarv(j)
    the mean of the values of the j column.
     
    s=center(x,'c')      (or,      equivalently,     
    s=center(x,2))  is the  columnwise center  reduction of
    the  values  of x.   It  returns  in  the entry  
    s(i,j)   the    value   (x(i,j)-xbarh(i)))   with
    xbarh(i) the mean of the values of the i row.
Examples
x=[0.2113249 0.0002211 0.6653811; 0.7560439 0.3303271 0.6283918] s=center(x) s=center(x,'r') s=center(x,'c')
