last year there was this thread about the question, where Bernard explained his reasoning.

IMHO stddev() should represent sX variable of Statistics 1Var and stddevp() the correspondent σX, otherwise another proposal is to rename stddevp() stddevs() ("of the sample) and in any case to adapt them to sX and σX.
However I consider also the Bernard's reasoning as stddev() and stdevp() are applied also to a matrix and so on...
