matrix
Type: SystemDouble
A matrix whose means will be calculated.
dimension
Type: SystemInt32
The dimension along which the means will be calculated. Pass 0 to compute a row vector containing the mean of each column, or 1 to compute a column vector containing the mean of each row. Default value is 0.

Examples
Copy
double[,] matrix = 
{
   { 2, -1.0, 5 },
   { 7,  0.5, 9 },
};

// column means are equal to (4.5, -0.25, 7.0)
double[] colMeans = Stats.Mean(matrix, 0);

// row means are equal to (2.0, 5.5)
double[] rowMeans = Stats.Mean(matrix, 1);
