center
Syntax
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.
