Statistics package

The statistics package is part of the Octave Packages.

Distributions

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.

Development

Follows an incomplete list of stuff missing in the statistics package to be matlab compatible. Bugs are not listed here, search and report them on the bug tracker instead.

this entire section is about the current development version. If a Matlab function is missing from the list and does not appear on the current release of the package, confirm that is also missing in the development sources before adding it.
