When you have a large set of data, it can be resource consuming to calculate standard deviation at every step. So why not calculate a recursive std deviation at step n given:
- mean at step n
- value of added point at step n
- mean and std at step (n-1)
PS1: We'll always consider a vector of length 2 to which we add a third value
PS2: There are two common definitions of stdandard deviation. If you look at the help section of matlab, i used the second definition
