Computes the standard errors for a numeric vector.

1	se(x, na.rm = TRUE)

`x`	A vector of class numeric or integer.
`na.rm`	A logical value indicating whether NA values should be stripped before the computations.

The standard error of the mean (SEM) (assuming statistical independence of the values in the sample) is estimated by taking the standard deviation of the population sample divided by the square root of the sample size:

se_{\hat{x}} = \frac{{s}}{{√{n}}}

An object of the same type as x.
