_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     The pooled estimated standard deviation is obtained by adding
     together the residual sum of squares for each non-null element of
     'object', dividing by the sum of the corresponding residual
     degrees-of-freedom, and taking the square-root.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     pooledSD(object)
