      Description copied from interface: `Dataset`
      The sample variance can be calculated in two ways: if the dataset is considered as the entire population then the sample variance is simply the second central moment:

              sum((x_i - m)^2)/N
           where {x_i} are set of N population values and m is the mean
              m = sum(x_i)/N

      Otherwise, if the dataset is a set of samples (with replacement) from the population then

              sum((x_i - m)^2)/(N-1)
           where {x_i} are set of N sample values and m is the unbiased estimate of the mean
              m = sum(x_i)/N

      Note that the second definition is also the unbiased estimator of population variance.
