statistics package more suitable for nlinfit et al.? (was: Re: nlinfit in octave)

[Olaf Till]

After some modifications and fixes to docs and demo, and a
modification in the way weighted residuals are computed, nlinfit.m is
now ready for inclusion into Octave Forge, as are statset.m,
statget.m, and __all_stat_opts__.m.

Do we want the degree in Matlab compatibility to have these functions
in the statistics package, which corresponds to the 'correct' Matlab
package? It would make the statistics package depend on the optim
package, since nlinfit wraps nonlin_curvefit and curvefit_stat.
