== 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. | |||

Octave currently provides | Octave currently provides supports for polar axes by using a Cartesian 2-D axes and adding a significant number of properties and callback listeners to get things to work.ย What is needed is the implementation of a dedicated "polaraxes" object in C++.ย This will require creating a new fundamental graphics object type, and programming in C++/OpenGL to render the object.ย When "polaraxes" exists as an object type, then m-files will be written to access them, including polaraxes.m, polarplot.m, rticks.m, rticklabels.m, thetaticks, thetaticklabels.m, rlim.m, thetalim.m.ย This relates to bug {{bug|49804}}. | ||
