Exactly. Or where changing the function arguments makes it easy to evaluate the resulting function value (which is true for the current one).

Well,
sadly
it's
not
about
being
"hard"
or
"easy"
but
about
"computationally
expensive".
Which
the
standard
deviation
(
if
you
calculate
it
on
the
go,
it's
still
many
sums,
squares
and
a
square
root)
undeniably
is
compared
to
subtracting
a
few
numbers.
