xm = mean(x(:));

No, when you use A > B then either the two matrices must be the same size *or*
one of them can be a scalar value. mean(x) and std(x) are scalar values
provided that x is a vector.

You mention that you have a "matrix". If you mean that as a 2 dimensional
array, then to get the appropriate scalar values, use mean(x(:)) and std(x(:))
