Octave

Statistics package

Revision as of 21:12, 5 February 2023 by Pr0m1th3as (talk | contribs)

The statistics package is part of the Octave Packages. Since version 1.5.0, the statistics package requires Octave version 6.1 or higher. From Octave v7.2 or later, you can install the latest statistics package (currently 1.5.3) with the following command:

pkg install -forge statistics

The following sections provide an overview of the functions available in the statistics package sorted alphabetically and arranged in groups similarly to the package's INDEX file.

The following table lists the functions available for clustering.

Function Description

In external packages

bootci, bootstrp are implemented in the statistics-bootstrap package.

Shadowing Octave core functions

The following functions will shadow the respective core functions until Octave 9.

  • mean
  • median
  • std
  • var

TODO list

Update geomean, harmmean, and trimmean functions to be fully MATLAB compatible.

Re-introduce the nan* functions implemented in C++ with the 'all' and 'vecdim' options.

Re-implement the following functions from core Octave, as shadowing functions with updated functionality regarding the "all", "omitnan", and "vecdim" options, with the intend to be included in Octave 9.

  • cov
  • mad
  • meansq
  • mode
  • moment

Distributions

Available functions

The following table lists the cdf, icdf, pdf, and random functions available in the statistics package. Since version 1.5.3, all CDFs support the "upper" option for evaluating the complement of the respective CDF.

Note! The icdf wrapper for the quantile functions is not implemented yet.
