This function computes the rugosity of a time wave or time series
rugo(x, ...)
x |
a vector |

The formula has been slightly modified from Mezquida & Martinez (2009:
826) to fit with the classical definition of the root-mean-square
(see rms).
The rugosity is then computed as following:
rugo = sqrt(mean((x[i+1]-x[i])^2))
for a vector x of length n.
A vector of length 1.
The rugosity of a noisy signal will tend to be higher than that of
a pure tone signal, all other things being equal.
