statistics package

[jacques.beilin]

Hello,

I  tried to install octave-forge statistics package 1.0.10 in Octave 3.3.52 (ubuntu).

I have a warning message during package installation :

warning: function /home/beilin/octave/statistics-1.0.10/prctile.m shadows a cor

e library function

warning: function /home/beilin/octave/statistics-1.0.10/fstat.m shadows a core

/tmp/octave-help-sguyD6:59: } égarée ou mal placée.

warning: gen_doc_cache: unusable help text in 'boxplot'. Ignoring function.

warning: function /home/beilin/octave/statistics-1.0.10/fstat.m shadows a core

library function

When I use the hist_fit function, I get an error message because normal_pdf.m is missing. It seems that this function is deprecated.

I found normal_pdf.m in the deprecated functions folder. I put it in my working dir. I now get a message telling me that I should use normpdf instead of normal_pdf.

Does anyone knows if there will be a new release of statistics package or maybe I should use something else ?

Best regards ,

Jacques
