      gevfir_lmom: bug #31070

 ** Other functions that have been changed for smaller bugfixes, increased
    Matlab compatibility, or performance:

      dcov: returned dcov instead of dcor. added demo.
      violin: can be used with subplots. violin quality improved.
      princomp: Fix expected values of tsquare in unit tests
