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.
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:
boot1way
requires the Statistics package (in Octave) or the Statistics and
Machine Learning Toolbox (in Matlab).To install (or test) the statistics-resampling package at it’s existing location in either Octave or Matlab, follow these steps:
make
to compile the mex files from source (or use
the precompiled binaries if available. If suitable precompiled binaries
are not available for your platform, then Matlab/Octave will need access
to a C++11 compiler. Note that if you skip the make step, then the
package functions will still work, but some will run slower. This step
is interactive so check the command window.)install
. The package will load now (and
automatically in the future) when you start Octave/Matlab.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
All help and demos are documented on the ‘Function Reference’ page (overview.html) in the manual. For the best experience navigating the manual, please ensure that javascript is enabled in your browser.
Function help can also be requested from the Octave/MATLAB command
prompt, by typing help function-name
.
In Octave only, you can also request the demonstrations of function
usage by typing demo function-name
at the command
prompt.
