[Octave-patch-tracker] [patch #10102] [octave forge] (statistics) Add new functions ismissing and rmmissing

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #4, patch #10102 (project octave):

Thanks.
It'll take a little time, unforeseen busy times at work.

After a quick glance I think the patches look good. However, in the scripts
directory in help/__unimplemented__.m the stanzas about rmmissing and
ismissing should be dropped as well.

Before you adapt that, let's first get the opinion of a core developer, in
particular the one who some years ago move loads of the Octave core statistics
functions to the statistics package (with good reason, many of those functions
needed and still need overhaul and are too much of a maintenance burden for
Octave).
IMO ismissing and rmmissing should be in core - they are quite useful outside
the field of statistics as well.


>> ismissing
error: 'ismissing' undefined near line 1, column 1

The 'ismissing' function belongs to the statistics package from Octave
Forge which you have installed but not loaded.  To load the package, run
'pkg load statistics' from the Octave prompt.

Please read <https://www.octave.org/missing.html> to learn how you can
contribute missing functionality.
