== Adding | == Adding regression GAM and kNN classification functionality in statistics package == | ||
Generalized Additive Models and k-Nearest Neighbor algorithms are two important tools in advanced statistics used for regression and classification problems, respectively. The statistics package, although heavily developed during the past year, still lacks any functionality regarding these two algorithms. | |||
The scope is to implement both the respective class def objects as well as the relevant functions in a MATLAB compatible way. | |||

Implement a | Implement a custom perl script to relax the dependency of the pkg-octave-doc package on texi2html (v.1.82) command line tool, which is no longer maintained or further developed but also not readily available to all linux distributions. | ||
This will also help improve the speed of pkg-octave-doc processing large packages, which contain specific tags (such as @math) which are currently handled within Octave code. | |||

== A function search index website for all Octave Packages == | |||
Develop additional functionality for the pkg-octave-doc package than will search all pkg compatible packages listed in Octave Packages, enumerate the available functions from each package, and built a website with search capability that will list all functionsโ names and their respective package(s). The function list should have links corresponding to their documentation or/and source code. This could be integrated in the current Octave Packages website and the implemented tool can be part of the current CI (used for testing a package before merging a new release) and automatically update the website with every package release. Alternatively, it can be a stand alone service which will monitor Octave Packages repository for any merged PR and update the function search index website accordingly. | |||
