-* - Setting the correction parameter to a value other than `0` has the effect of adjusting the divisor during the calculation of the standard deviation according to `N-c` where `c` corresponds to the provided degrees of freedom adjustment. When computing the standard deviation of a population, setting the correction parameter to `0` is the standard choice (i.e., the provided array contains data constituting an entire population). When computing the corrected sample standard deviation, setting the correction parameter to `1` is the standard choice (i.e., the provided array contains data sampled from a larger population; this is commonly referred to as Bessel's correction).
