function [SE,M]=sem(x,DIM, W)
% SEM calculates the standard error of the mean
% 
% [SE,M] = SEM(x [, DIM [,W]])
%   calculates the standard error (SE) in dimension DIM
%   the default DIM is the first non-single dimension
%   M returns the mean. 
%   Can deal with complex data, too. 
%
% DIM	dimension
%	1: SEM of columns
%	2: SEM of rows
% 	N: SEM of  N-th dimension 
%	default or []: first DIMENSION, with more than 1 element
% W	weights to compute weighted mean and s.d. (default: [])
%	if W=[], all weights are 1. 
%	number of elements in W must match size(x,DIM) 
%
% features:
% - can deal with NaN's (missing values)
% - weighting of data 
% - dimension argument 
% - compatible to Matlab and Octave
