geomean - geometric mean

### Calling Sequence

  `gm=geomean(x)`
  `gm=geomean(x,'r')(or, equivalently, gm=geomean(x,1))`
  `gm=geomean(x,'c')(or, equivalently, gm=geomean(x,2))`

### Parameters

- `x`:real or complex vector or matrix

### Description

This function computes the geometric mean of a vector or matrix `x`. For a vector or matrix `x`, `gm=geomean(x)` returns in scalar `gm` the geometric mean of all the entries of `x`.

`gm=geomean(x,'r')` (or, equivalently, `gm=gmean(x,1)` ) returns in each entry of the row vector `gm` the geometric mean of each column of `x`.

`gm=geomean(x,'c')` (or, equivalently, `gm=gmean(x,2)` ) returns in each entry of the column vector `gm` the geometric mean of each row of `x` .
