I'm surprised too!

Hum, did it work or not?

If not, here is the file I have modified. Save it in the same folder as 
'test_bazcor.sce' (sorry I didn't find a better name :).

The patch was mainly for scilab developers.

Under scilab, click on Applications -> SciNotes: the editor will open.
You can then open the file 'test_bazcor.sce' and click on the execute icon

Note that you must be in the directory in which you downloaded the files 
(see help("cwd")). Otherwise the script won't work.

My advice: if you don't understand something, you can look into the doc 
directly from the editor: right click on the function and then on "help 
about ...".

Again I don't think that my modification of stdevf.sci definitely solves 
the problem.

You may try a simple workaround for your case: use row vectors instead 
of column vectors.
  b=[2,3,4,5]'
  fre=[1,1,1,2]'
should work (' is the transpose operator in scilab).

See attached file (test_stdevf.sce).
