[Octave-patch-tracker] [patch #10314] matlab compatible std, var, mean, median to core from statistics package

[Nicholas Jankowski]

Update of patch #10314 (project octave):

                  Status:             In Progress => Ready For Test         

    _______________________________________________________

Follow-up Comment #1:

statistics 1.5.4 just released with matlab compatible and fairly well debugged
versions of mean/median/std/var.

attached are versions of those functions with headers changed to match Octave
core. Have also rewritten / cleaned up a some of the docstring text. Unlike in
the statistics pkg, std is left as a wrapper to sqrt(var), so only the
header/help text is changed to reflect the new options/behavior inherited from
var.

functions contain a number of expanded BISTs from the previous core and
statistics versions, as well as addressing a number of other compatibility
bugs.  (a noted exception to this is the recently identified bug #63848 on sum
overflows giving bad answers for mean), and a build/test shows now other core
function test failures with the change. 

pushed the revised functions & NEWS changes to default as 
https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/c6eeb8b44c28
and marking ready for test.
