Many thanks
for that work. I removed most of the functions from the
core
in this cset (http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/fdc9ce839afd).
Most of the work was actually re-writing the Statistics
chapter of the
manual to make sense again.
What about functions such as mean, median, mode, std, var ?
In Matlab they belong to "Matlab core", not to the
Statistic& & ML toolbox:
https://fr.mathworks.com/help/matlab/data_analysis/descriptive-statistics.html,
which means that now, some programs that run on Matlab
without any dependency will not run on Octave unless the
statistics package is loaded...
Just my two cents, sorry if this has been discussed
before...
I also didn't quite understand that statistics function
discussion. It sounded like any stats-related functions would
be moved to the statistics package. But I've pulled the
latest code and it looks like the routines such as var.m,
corr.m, etc. have simply been moved to ./scripts/statistics/ directory. I think the
title of the changeset is a bit misleading in that it suggests
all routines were removed when it was only the non-common ones
that were removed; "(re)move" might have suggested it wasn't
that simple.
Ok, my bad. I misunderstood Rik's commit message.
Yes, these functions were moved from ./scripts/statistics/base
to ./scripts/statistics, so they're still in Octave cor,
everythng is fine.
Sorry for the noise.
