Pedro, Just so I'm clear (I'm 52 years old; have a little pity for the aged), do you want what Stuart suggested? That is: For each pair of values that are used to generate an average, you want the standard deviation of that pair of data points? For two points the standard deviation is equal to the difference between one of the points and the average. So if the points are 8.4 and 9.3, the average is 8.85. The "standard deviation" would be 9.3 - 8.85 = 0.45. Is that what you want? I mean, it's easy enough to compute, but I'm having a hard time seeing how useful it is.
