Details:

In the docstring of "meansq.m", there is no symbol "\bar{x}" in the TeX
formula, so the next sentence "where $\bar{x}$ is ..." is not necessary.

This can be seen in the PDF document "octave.pdf" in section 26.1 Descriptive
Statistics.

Possible solution:

--- /usr/share/octave/4.2.1/m/statistics/base/meansq.m  2017-07-11
