Details:

The cdf function is missing in Octave 3.6.4. What cdf does in matlab is
actually to call the right cdf specified by the distribution name (the first
input argument to cdf is a string indicating the name of the distribution).
One could manually add this function to the folder
'C:\Octave\Octave-3.6.4\share\octave\3.6.4\m\statistics\distributions', and
then it behaves the same as it does under Matlab. I consider it a buy since
Octave should behave the same as Matlab.

PS. The function code can be obtained in Matlab by using the following
command:
type cdf
