Description

The statistics-resampling package is an Octave package and Matlab toolbox that can be used to overcome a wide variety of statistics problems using non-parametric resampling methods. In particular, the functions included can be used to estimate bias, uncertainty (standard errors and confidence intervals), prediction error, and test hypotheses (p-values). Variations of the resampling methods are included that improve the accuracy of the statistics for small samples and samples with complex dependence structures.

Requirements and dependencies

Core functions in this package are known to be compatible with versions of Octave v4.4.0+ and Matlab v7.4.0+. Some features of this package have specific dependencies:

Installation

To install (or test) the statistics-resampling package at it’s existing location in either Octave or Matlab, follow these steps:

If you want or need to uninstall the package/toolbox, change directory (cd) into the package folder and type uninstall.

Alternatively, users of more recent versions of Octave can install the package automatically with the following command:

pkg install "https://github.com/gnu-octave/statistics-resampling/archive/refs/heads/master.zip"

The package can be loaded on demand in Octave with the following commmand:

pkg load statistics-resampling

In Octave, you can find out basic information about the package by typing: pkg describe -verbose statistics-resampling
