You should also look at the pages http://octave.sourceforge.net/packages.php and http://octave.sourceforge.net/docs.html that have a function reference that is up to date. You can use this function reference to see the number of octave functions that are available and their Matlab compatibility.

==Graphical Curve Fitting Tool==
Currently, Octave lacks a graphical curve fitting tool such as Matlab's [https://www.mathworks.com/help/curvefit/curvefitting-app.html curvefit] tool. [https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-octave/2015-07/msg00300.html]
You can use polyfit or the packages [https://octave.sourceforge.io/signal/ signal] or [https://octave.sourceforge.io/optim/ optim] to achieve these task but these are not graphical tools.
