function write_taylor_stats_table(filename,data,varargin)
% WRITE_TAYLOR_STATS_TABLE Write statistics used in a Taylor diagram to a CSV file.
%
% write_taylor_stats_table(filename,data[,'option',value])
%
% This function writes to a Comma Separated Value (CSV) file FILENAME the 
% statistics used to create a Taylor diagram for each of the data sets 
% contained in DATA. The first 2 arguments must be the inputs as described 
% below followed by optional arguments in the format of 'OPTION' name 
% followed by its value 'VALUE'.
%
% INPUTS:
%   filename   : name for statistics Excel file
%   data       : a multi-cell data structure containing the statistics used in
%                taylor diagrams
%   data.sdev  : Standard deviations (sigma)
%   data.crmsd : Centered Root Mean Square Difference
%   data.ccoef : Correlation Coefficient (r)
%
% OUTPUTS:
% 	None.
%
% LIST OF OPTIONS:
%   A title description for each dataset TITLE can be optionally provided as 
% well as a LABEL for each data point in the diagram.
%
%   'label', label : label for each data point in Taylor diagram, e.g. 
%                    'OC445 (CB)'
%   'overwrite', boolean : true/false flag to overwrite Excel file
%   'title', title : title descriptor for each data set in data, e.g. 
%                    'Expt. 01.0'
%

% Get optional arguments
