statistics-1.6.1
Summary of important user-visible changes for statistics 1.6.1
Important Notice:
mean
, median
, std
, var
, and mad
shadow core Octave's functions
incompatibility with the nan package
News:
There are 9 newly introduced functions and 6 function updated. Two new Classdefs, ClassificationKNN
and RegressionGAM
, are introduced which are mostly MATLAB compatible. At this time, the kdtree
algorithm for k-NN search is quite slow (poor implementation), use the exhaustive
method instead. The Generalized Additive Model regression does not produce identical results with MATLAB, but it is reasonably accurate. pdist
and pdist2
are now fully MATLAB compatible, hence not syntactically compatible with earlier versions. User code relying on these two functions might need syntax adjustments to work. The function regress_gp
has been overhauled to handle a Radial Basis Function kernel and it also brakes backwards compatibility. The newly introduced mnrfit
is merely a wrapper for logistic_regression
and is a work in progress.
