This is a bit vague. Do you mean f.i. something similar to 
http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/handbook/prc/section3/prc31.htm
or
http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/handbook/prc/section2/prc22.htm

i.e. what is assumed to be known, what is inferred from statistics about
your data ? Once you can answer this question, Octave has all the required
primitives to do the computation.
