Why are the names for the distribution functions in /usr/local/share/octave/2.9.3/m/statistics/distributions/ different from their ML counterparts? I see at: http://octave.sourceforge.net/index/statistics.html that there is a compatibility table e.g. weib* use weibull_* but why put users through the effort? After installing octave and trying some matlab code to see if it would work, octave couldn't find functions like fcdf.m. I had to find free sources on the web such as http://www.spatial-econometrics.com/ and write my own fcdf.m before I found f_cdf.m
