## @deftypefnx {} {} mean (@var{x}, @var{dim}, @var{opt})
## @deftypefnx {} {} mean (@dots{}, @var{outtype})
## Compute the mean of the elements of the vector @var{x}.
##
## The mean is defined as
##
## @tex
## $$ {\rm mean}(x) = \bar{x} = {1\over N} \sum_{i=1}^N x_i $$
## where $N$ is the number of elements of @var{x}.
##
## @end tex
## @ifnottex
##
## @example
## mean (@var{x}) = SUM_i @var{x}(i) / N
## @end example
##
## @noindent
## where @math{N} is the length of the @var{x} vector.
##
## @end ifnottex
## If @var{x} is a matrix, compute the mean for each column and return them
## in a row vector.
##
## If the optional argument @var{dim} is given, operate along this dimension.
##
## The optional argument @var{opt} selects the type of mean to compute.
## The following options are recognized:
##
## @table @asis
## @item @qcode{"a"}
## Compute the (ordinary) arithmetic mean.  [default]
##
## @item @qcode{"g"}
## Compute the geometric mean.
##
## @item @qcode{"h"}
## Compute the harmonic mean.
## @end table
##
## The optional argument @var{outtype} selects the data type of the
## output value.  The following options are recognized:
##
## @table @asis
## @item @qcode{"default"}
## Output will be of class double unless @var{x} is of class single,
## in which case the output will also be single.
##
## @item @qcode{"double"}
## Output will be of class double.
##
## @item @qcode{"native"}
## Output will be the same class as @var{x} unless @var{x} is of class
## logical in which case it returns of class double.
##
## @end table
##
## Both @var{dim} and @var{opt} are optional.  If both are supplied, either
## may appear first.
