Similarly, my use of nested arrays in APL programming has in the past generally only exploited nested array structures for passing complex arrays in and out of my user-defined functions However, -most o f statistics involves number crunching, calculating means and standard deviations etc., so this paper aims to show the reader that even in this specific area, numeric nested arrays are a gift to the
