+## @deftypefnx {Function File} {} range (@var{x}, @var{dim})
+## Return the range, i.e., the difference between the maximum and the minimum
+## of the input data.  If @var{x} is a vector, the range is calculated over
+## the elements of @var{x}.  If @var{x} is a matrix, the range is calculated
+## over each column of @var{x}.
+##
+## If the optional argument @var{dim} is given, operate along this dimension.
+##
+## The range is a quickly computed measure of the dispersion of a data set, but
+## is less accurate than @code{iqr} if there are outlying data points.
