I have change the proposal to reflect the new information gained about which functions are redundant and which are already implemented in Octave.

They are ordered so that according to my estimates the difficulty rises with the number. This is because typecasting and implicit typing (which is included in most of the FORTRAN files in the TISEAN library) can be problematic sometimes. | They are ordered so that according to my estimates the difficulty rises with the number.

This number can be brought down significantly. This is because some programs are deprecated, others are just C/FORTRAN copies of each other, others are not important in GNU Octave (such as 'compare' and choose'). After taking the factors above into consideration the number of functions that need to be ported drops to 49. I have prepared a detailed discussion of all of those functions [[User:Josiah425:TISEAN_Package:Table_of_functions| here]]. This number will further drop once certain programs are confirmed to have similar programs in GNU Octave or some packages in Octave Forge. | |||
Apart from the qualitative division I propose a work oriented division. In it each subpart can be tackled separately and create an entity in-and-of-itself. I chose to work along the lines of the articles about implementations of nonlinear timeseries included in the documentation. This article discusses various algorithms and what certain programs mean. It can be found [http://www.mpipks-dresden.mpg.de/~tisean/Tisean_3.0.1/docs/chaospaper/TiseanHTML.html| here]. I will discuss in which order I would like to port various topics from this article and where my work currently stands. | Apart from the qualitative division I propose a work oriented division.

This is the next topic that needs to be implemented. This is because it contains programs (especially 'delay') that are used to visualize data. Whenever an example is given in the package the resulting data is routed through 'delay' before it is plotted. Apart from delay it also contains other functions that can divided into the following categories: | This is the next topic that needs to be implemented.

There is no need to port them as according to the documentation ([http://www.mpipks-dresden.mpg.de/~tisean/Tisean_3.0.1/docs/contents.html| here]) they are redundant with other functions. Further more, it is likely 'corr' does not need to be implemented, because 'xcorr' in signal package seems to have similar functionality. This has not been confirmed yet, once that occurs, a definite answer can be given. | ||

This part of the article also mentions 'c2naive' which is implemented in FORTRAN, but it is also described as redundant by the documentation ([http://www.mpipks-dresden.mpg.de/~tisean/Tisean_3.0.1/docs/contents.html| here]) | |||

I also plan to port all of the functions needed for the four exercises described in the 'Tutorial' section of the documentation. The programs that need to be ported additionally are as follows: | |||
* Linkable to FORTRAN (stp) | |||
* Linkable to C (ar-model, d2, poincare, recurr, nstat_z) | |||
The programs: 'spectrum', 'historgram', 'extrema', 'corr' need to have a confirmed equivalent function in GNU Octave. | |||

My estimates might be high, but I believe it is more important to complete the task thoroughly than to port more programs haphazardly. | My estimates might be high, but I believe it is more important to complete the task thoroughly than to port more programs haphazardly. | ||
