I seem to be getting a much better accuracy from numpy.mean then from a loop
of a += val; a /= num_vals. I've seen some discussion on mailing lists about
using Kahan summation for mean(), so I suspect this is the reason, but I can't
for the life of me find if it was finally implemented or not. Anybody knows?
Also, if you know where it is in the numpy source tree, please tell - I
searched it the whole morning.
Thanks,
Yosef.
