14. Compositions (Based on Hooks and Forks)

A verb is produced by trains of three or two verbs, as defined by the following diagrams:
           FORK                 HOOK 
        g        g           g       g
       / \      / \         / \     / \
      f   h    f   h       y   h   x   h
      |   |   / \ / \          |       |
      y   y   x y x y          y       y
For example, 5(+*-)3 (5+3)*(5-3) .

The foregoing definition is from Section II F of the dictionary. The following examples concern functions used in statistics:
   mean=: +/%#                              Mean
   norm=: ] - +/ % #                        Centered on mean
   sqcm=: 2: ^~ ] - +/ % #                  Sqr of centred on mean
   var =: [:    mean 2: ^~ ] - mean=: +/%#  Variance
   stdv=: 2:%:[:mean 2: ^~ ] - mean=: +/%#  Standard Deviation
