curve fitting

[hobbs]

I am a new user of Octave so I would appreciate some help.

I have an 2D array of values and I want to compute the mean/std for each row 
as a function of column number by fitting a Gaussian distribution.

eg

0  1  3  1  0  0  0  0 
0  0  1  2  4  3  1  1
0  0  0  1  9  2  0  0
...

to give a two column array (mean std)
3     0.2
5.2  1.0
5.0  0.05
....


Is there a neat way either as a direct function call or as a script that this 
can be achieved, please?
