statictics package

[JohnD]

All,

I've made some changes to the statistics package and went through the bugs
that were obvious fixed (to me) or had patches.

That leaves a number of bugs still pending, some of them being matlab
incompatibilities, some feature requests/missing features and some are bugs
that are beyond my  non mathematical abilities :)

These include:

51928   53512   48774   52115   51879   50365   50286   50169   49961   
48690   48472   48146   47871   47369   46764   45894   45877   45193   
45006   44130   43721   42079   41778   36646   34363   34362


As is from the repo, in windows and Linux using octave 4.4 and running the
built in tests I get:


PASS 2413 
FAIL 0 
XFAIL (reported bug) 4

Even though there are still a number of bugs, since the package hasn't been
released for a while (later 2016) and the new package includes the
statistical functions moved out octave 4.4, is anyone against a new release
if I prepare it?
