WOW, I need to look at these equations over about a dozen times to see what
is going on ?

I have been struggling with the variance of an nxn window of data, INCLUDING
central pixel

;mean of the neighboring pixels (including central)
mean=smooth(arr,n)
;square deviation from that mean
sqdev=(arr-mean)^2
;variance of an nxn window of data, INCLUDING central pixel
var=(smooth(sqdev,n)*n^2-sqdev)/(n^2-1)

This doesn't seem correct with test samples ? (Only difference is mean and
division by n^2-1 ??)

Thanks JD
