Content 
One small point:

I think that the argument `m` to variance, pvariance, stdev and pstdev
should be renamed to `mu` for pvariance/pstdev and `xbar` for
variance/stdev. The doc-strings should carefully distinguish that `mu`
is the true/population mean and `xbar` is the estimated/sample mean
and refer to this difference between the function variants.
