http://narray.rubyforge.org/SPEC.en
is the only documentation.

reshape changes the shape of NArray without changing internal 
arrangement.
In this case, it changes the last dimension with 100 elements into
2-dimensions with 10x10 elements.

in SPEC.en:

Statistics
    self.mean(dim,..)    Mean
    ...
  note: * If dimensions are specified, statistics are performed
          on those dimensions and the rest dimensions are kept.
        * Range can be used.
        * If dimension is not specified, statistics are performed
          for all the elements.
