## The optional parameter @var{opt} determines the normalization to use when

## If @var{x} is a matrix, calculate along the first non-singleton dimension.
## If the third optional argument @var{dim} is given, operate along this

##
## The optional outputs @var{mu} and @var{sigma} contain the mean and standard
