[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #33523] Matlab compatibility issue with averaging the 3rd dim of a 2-D array

[Lachlan Andrew]

Follow-up Comment #23, bug #33523 (project octave):

Rik, at long last here is the patch.

I was having a brain fade when I said that var and std should give NaN -- they
obviously give 0.  It is kurtosis and skewness that are NaN (since they
normalize by variance).

I've written a function "scripts/general/throw_if_not_natural.m" which reports
an error if its argument is not a positive real scalar integer.  I expect
there are other functions that could use it (for example, the previous
statistics/base functions forgot to check the argument was real), but I didn't
want to clutter this patch with those changes.

Thanks for all your patience in teaching me the coding standards, and revising
and applying my patches.
