 -- Function File: P = anderson_darling_cdf (A, N)
     Return the CDF for the given Anderson-Darling coefficient A
     computed from N values sampled from a distribution. For a vector
     of random variables X of length N, compute the CDF of the values
     from the distribution from which they are drawn.  You can uses
     these values to compute A as follows:

          A = -N - sum( (2*i-1) .* (log(X) + log(1 - X(N:-1:1,:))) )/N;

     From the value A, `anderson_darling_cdf' returns the probability
     that A could be returned from a set of samples.

     The algorithm given in [1] claims to be an approximation for the
     Anderson-Darling CDF accurate to 6 decimal points.

     Demonstrate using:

          n = 300; reps = 10000;
          z = randn(n, reps);
          x = sort ((1 + erf (z/sqrt (2)))/2);
          i = [1:n]' * ones (1, size (x, 2));
          A = -n - sum ((2*i-1) .* (log (x) + log (1 - x (n:-1:1, :))))/n;
          p = anderson_darling_cdf (A, n);
          hist (100 * p, [1:100] - 0.5);

     You will see that the histogram is basically flat, which is to say
     that the probabilities returned by the Anderson-Darling CDF are
     distributed uniformly.

     You can easily determine the extreme values of P:

          [junk, idx] = sort (p);

     The histograms of various P aren't  very informative:

          histfit (z (:, idx (1)), linspace (-3, 3, 15));
          histfit (z (:, idx (end/2)), linspace (-3, 3, 15));
          histfit (z (:, idx (end)), linspace (-3, 3, 15));

     More telling is the qqplot:

          qqplot (z (:, idx (1))); hold on; plot ([-3, 3], [-3, 3], ';;'); hold off;
          qqplot (z (:, idx (end/2))); hold on; plot ([-3, 3], [-3, 3], ';;'); hold off;
          qqplot (z (:, idx (end))); hold on; plot ([-3, 3], [-3, 3], ';;'); hold off;

     Try a similarly analysis for Z uniform:

          z = rand (n, reps); x = sort(z);

     and for Z exponential:

          z = rande (n, reps); x = sort (1 - exp (-z));

 -- Function File: [Q, ASQ, INFO] =  = anderson_darling_test (X,
          DISTRIBUTION)
     Test the hypothesis that X is selected from the given distribution
     using the Anderson-Darling test.  If the returned Q is small,
     reject the hypothesis at the Q*100% level.

     The Anderson-Darling A^2 statistic is calculated as follows:

                        n
          A^2_n = -n - SUM (2i-1)/n log(z_i (1 - z_{n-i+1}))
                       i=1

     where z_i is the ordered position of the X's in the CDF of the
     distribution.  Unlike the Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic, the
     Anderson-Darling statistic is sensitive to the tails of the
     distribution.

     The DISTRIBUTION argument must be a either "uniform", "normal", or
     "exponential".

     For "normal"' and "exponential" distributions, estimate the
     distribution parameters from the data, convert the values to CDF
     values, and compare the result to tabluated critical values.  This
     includes an correction for small N which works well enough for N
     >= 8, but less so from smaller N.  The returned
     `info.Asq_corrected' contains the adjusted statistic.

     For "uniform", assume the values are uniformly distributed in
     (0,1), compute A^2 and return the corresponding p-value from
     `1-anderson_darling_cdf(A^2,n)'.

     If you are selecting from a known distribution, convert your
     values into CDF values for the distribution and use "uniform".  Do
     not use "uniform" if the distribution parameters are estimated
     from the data itself, as this sharply biases the A^2 statistic
     toward smaller values.

 -- Function File: [PVAL, F, DF_B, DF_E] = anovan (DATA, GRPS,
          'param1', VALUE1)
     Perform a multi-way analysis of variance (ANOVA).  The goal is to
     test whether the population means of data taken from K different
     groups are all equal.

     Data is a single vector DATA with groups specified by a
     corresponding matrix of group labels GRPS, where GRPS has the same
     number of rows as DATA. For example, if DATA = [1.1;1.2]; GRPS=
     [1,2,1; 1,5,2]; then data point 1.1 was measured under conditions
     1,2,1 and data point 1.2 was measured under conditions 1,5,2.
     Note that groups do not need to be sequentially numbered.

     By default, a 'linear' model is used, computing the N main effects
     with no interactions. this may be modified by param 'model'

     p= anovan(data,groups, 'model', modeltype) - modeltype = 'linear':
     compute N main effects - modeltype = 'interaction': compute N
     effects and                               N*(N-1) two-factor
     interactions - modeltype = 'full': compute interactions at all
     levels

     Under the null of constant means, the statistic F follows an F
     distribution with DF_B and DF_E degrees of freedom.

     The p-value (1 minus the CDF of this distribution at F) is
     returned in PVAL.

     If no output argument is given, the standard one-way ANOVA table is
     printed.

 -- Function File: S = boxplot (DATA, NOTCHED, SYMBOL, VERTICAL,
          MAXWHISKER)
     Produce a box plot.

     The box plot is a graphical display that simultaneously describes
     several important features of a data set, such as center, spread,
     departure from symmetry, and identification of observations that
     lie unusually far from the bulk of the data.

     DATA is a matrix with one column for each data set, or data is a
     cell vector with one cell for each data set.

     NOTCHED = 1 produces a notched-box plot. Notches represent a robust
     estimate of the uncertainty about the median.

     NOTCHED = 0 (default) produces a rectangular box plot.

     NOTCHED in (0,1) produces a notch of the specified depth.  notched
     values outside (0,1) are amusing if not exactly practical.

     SYMBOL sets the symbol for the outlier values, default symbol for
     points that lie outside 3 times the interquartile range is 'o',
     default symbol for points between 1.5 and 3 times the interquartile
     range is '+'.

     SYMBOL = '.' points between 1.5 and 3 times the IQR is marked with
     '.' and points outside 3 times IQR with 'o'.

     SYMBOL = ['x','*'] points between 1.5 and 3 times the IQR is
     marked with 'x' and points outside 3 times IQR with '*'.

     VERTICAL = 0 makes the boxes horizontal, by default VERTICAL = 1.

     MAXWHISKER defines the length of the whiskers as a function of the
     IQR (default = 1.5). If MAXWHISKER = 0 then `boxplot' displays all
     data values outside the box using the plotting symbol for points
     that lie outside 3 times the IQR.

     The returned matrix S has one column for each data set as follows:

     1       Minimum
     2       1st quartile
     3       2nd quartile (median)
     4       3rd quartile
     5       Maximum
     6       Lower confidence limit for median
     7       Upper confidence limit for median

          tics ("x",1:2,["girls";"boys"]);
          axis ([0,3]);

 -- Function File: CL cl_multinom( X,N,B,CALCULATION_TYPE ) -
          Confidence level of multinomial portions
     Returns confidence level of multinomial parameters estimated  p =
     x / sum(x)  with predefined confidence interval B.     Finite
     population is also considered.

     This function calculates the level of confidence at which the
     samples represent the true distribution given that there is a
     predefined tolerance (confidence interval).  This is the upside
     down case of the typical excercises at which we want to get the
     confidence interval given the confidence level (and the estimated
     parameters of the underlying distribution).  But once we accept
     (lets say at elections) that we have a standard predefined maximal
     acceptable error rate (e.g. B=0.02 ) in the estimation and we just
     want to know that how sure we can be that the measured proportions
     are the same as in the entire population (ie. the expected value
     and mean of the samples are roghly the same) we need to use this
     function.

Arguments
---------

        * X  : int vector  : sample frequencies bins

        * N  : int         : Population size that was sampled by x. If
          N<sum(x), infinite number assumed

        * B  : real, vector :  confidence interval            if
          vector, it should be the size of x containing confence
          interval for each cells            if scalar, each cell will
          have the same value of b unless it is zero or -1
          if value is 0, b=.02 is assumed which is standard choice at
          elections            otherwise it is calculated in a way that
          one sample in a cell alteration defines the confidence
          interval

     Compute the cumulative distribution function of a copula family.

Arguments
---------

        * FAMILY is the copula family name. Currently, FAMILY can be
          `'Gaussian'' for the Gaussian family, `'t'' for the Student's
          t family, `'Clayton'' for the Clayton family, `'Gumbel'' for
          the Gumbel-Hougaard family, `'Frank'' for the Frank family,
          `'AMH'' for the Ali-Mikhail-Haq family, or `'FGM'' for the
          Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern family.

        * X is the support where each row corresponds to an observation.

        * THETA is the parameter of the copula. For the Gaussian and
          Student's t copula, THETA must be a correlation matrix. For
          bivariate copulas THETA can also be a correlation coefficient.
          For the Clayton family, the Gumbel-Hougaard family, the Frank
          family, and the Ali-Mikhail-Haq family, THETA must be a
          vector with the same number of elements as observations in X
          or be scalar. For the Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern family, THETA
          must be a matrix of coefficients for the
          Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern polynomial where each row
          corresponds to one set of coefficients for an observation in
          X. A single row is expanded. The coefficients are in binary
          order.

        * NU is the degrees of freedom for the Student's t family.  NU
          must be a vector with the same number of elements as
          observations in X or be scalar.

Return values
-------------

        * P is the cumulative distribution of the copula at each row of
          X and corresponding parameter THETA.

Examples
--------

          x = [0.2:0.2:0.6; 0.2:0.2:0.6];
          theta = [1; 2];
          p = copulacdf ("Clayton", x, theta)

          x = [0.2:0.2:0.6; 0.2:0.1:0.4];
          theta = [0.2, 0.1, 0.1, 0.05];

          PSEUDOTRANSITIONS)
 -- Function File:  hmmestimate (..., 'pseudoemissions',
          PSEUDOEMISSIONS)
     Estimate the matrix of transition probabilities and the matrix of
     output probabilities of a given sequence of outputs and states
     generated by a hidden Markov model. The model assumes that the
     generation starts in state `1' at step `0' but does not include
     step `0' in the generated states and sequence.

Arguments
---------

        * SEQUENCE is a vector of a sequence of given outputs. The
          outputs must be integers ranging from `1' to the number of
          outputs of the hidden Markov model.

        * STATES is a vector of the same length as SEQUENCE of given
          states. The states must be integers ranging from `1' to the
          number of states of the hidden Markov model.

Return values
-------------

        * TRANSPROBEST is the matrix of the estimated transition
          probabilities of the states. `transprobest(i, j)' is the
          estimated probability of a transition to state `j' given
          state `i'.

        * OUTPROBEST is the matrix of the estimated output
          probabilities.  `outprobest(i, j)' is the estimated
          probability of generating output `j' given state `i'.

     If `'symbols'' is specified, then SEQUENCE is expected to be a
sequence of the elements of SYMBOLS instead of integers.  SYMBOLS can
be a cell array.

     If `'statenames'' is specified, then STATES is expected to be a
sequence of the elements of STATENAMES instead of integers.  STATENAMES
can be a cell array.

     If `'pseudotransitions'' is specified then the integer matrix
PSEUDOTRANSITIONS is used as an initial number of counted transitions.
`pseudotransitions(i, j)' is the initial number of counted transitions
from state `i' to state `j'.  TRANSPROBEST will have the same size as
PSEUDOTRANSITIONS.  Use this if you have transitions that are very
unlikely to occur.

     If `'pseudoemissions'' is specified then the integer matrix
PSEUDOEMISSIONS is used as an initial number of counted outputs.
`pseudoemissions(i, j)' is the initial number of counted outputs `j'
given state `i'. If `'pseudoemissions'' is also specified then the
number of rows of PSEUDOEMISSIONS must be the same as the number of
rows of PSEUDOTRANSITIONS. OUTPROBEST will have the same size as
PSEUDOEMISSIONS. Use this if you have outputs or states that are very
unlikely to occur.

Examples
--------

          transprob = [0.8, 0.2; 0.4, 0.6];
          outprob = [0.2, 0.4, 0.4; 0.7, 0.2, 0.1];
          [sequence, states] = hmmgenerate (25, transprob, outprob);
          [transprobest, outprobest] = hmmestimate (sequence, states)

          symbols = {'A', 'B', 'C'};
          statenames = {'One', 'Two'};
          [sequence, states] = hmmgenerate (25, transprob, outprob,
                               'symbols', symbols, 'statenames', statenames);
          [transprobest, outprobest] = hmmestimate (sequence, states,
                                       'symbols', symbols,
                                       'statenames', statenames)

          pseudotransitions = [8, 2; 4, 6];
          pseudoemissions = [2, 4, 4; 7, 2, 1];

     Generate an output sequence and hidden states of a hidden Markov
     model.  The model starts in state `1' at step `0' but will not
     include step `0' in the generated states and sequence.

Arguments
---------

        * LEN is the number of steps to generate. SEQUENCE and STATES
          will have LEN entries each.

        * TRANSPROB is the matrix of transition probabilities of the
          states.  `transprob(i, j)' is the probability of a transition
          to state `j' given state `i'.

        * OUTPROB is the matrix of output probabilities.  `outprob(i,
          j)' is the probability of generating output `j' given state
          `i'.

Return values
-------------

        * SEQUENCE is a vector of length LEN of the generated outputs.
          The outputs are integers ranging from `1' to `columns
          (outprob)'.

        * STATES is a vector of length LEN of the generated hidden
          states. The states are integers ranging from `1' to `columns
          (transprob)'.

     If `'symbols'' is specified, then the elements of SYMBOLS are used
for the output sequence instead of integers ranging from `1' to
`columns (outprob)'. SYMBOLS can be a cell array.

     If `'statenames'' is specified, then the elements of STATENAMES
are used for the states instead of integers ranging from `1' to
`columns (transprob)'. STATENAMES can be a cell array.

        * SEQUENCE is the vector of length LEN of given outputs. The
          outputs must be integers ranging from `1' to `columns
          (outprob)'.

        * TRANSPROB is the matrix of transition probabilities of the

     If `'symbols'' is specified, then SEQUENCE is expected to be a
sequence of the elements of SYMBOLS instead of integers ranging from
`1' to `columns (outprob)'. SYMBOLS can be a cell array.

     If `'statenames'' is specified, then the elements of STATENAMES
are used for the states in VPATH instead of integers ranging from `1'
to `columns (transprob)'.  STATENAMES can be a cell array.

 -- Function File: Y = linkage (X, METHOD, METRIC)
 -- Function File: Y = linkage (X, METHOD, ARGLIST)
     Produce a hierarchical clustering dendrogram

     D is the dissimilarity matrix relative to N observations,
     formatted as a (n-1)*n/2x1 vector as produced by `pdist'.
     Alternatively, X contains data formatted for input to `pdist',
     METRIC is a metric for `pdist' and ARGLIST is a cell array
     containing arguments that are passed to `pdist'.

     `linkage' starts by putting each observation into a singleton
     cluster and numbering those from 1 to N.  Then it merges two
     clusters, chosen according to METHOD, to create a new cluster
     numbered N+1, and so on until all observations are grouped into a
     single cluster numbered 2*N-1.  Row M of the m-1x3 output matrix
     relates to cluster n+m: the first two columns are the numbers of
     the two component clusters and column 3 contains their distance.

     METHOD defines the way the distance between two clusters is
     computed and how they are recomputed when two clusters are merged:

    `"single" (default)'
          Distance between two clusters is the minimum distance between
          two elements belonging each to one cluster.  Produces a
          cluster tree known as minimum spanning tree.

    `"complete"'
          Furthest distance between two elements belonging each to one
          cluster.

    `"average"'
          Unweighted pair group method with averaging (UPGMA).  The
          mean distance between all pair of elements each belonging to
          one cluster.

    `"weighted"'
          Weighted pair group method with averaging (WPGMA).  When two
          clusters A and B are joined together, the new distance to a
          cluster C is the mean between distances A-C and B-C.

    `"centroid"'
          Unweighted Pair-Group Method using Centroids (UPGMC).
          Assumes Euclidean metric.  The distance between cluster
          centroids, each centroid being the center of mass of a
          cluster.

    `"median"'
          Weighted pair-group method using centroids (WPGMC).  Assumes
          Euclidean metric.  Distance between cluster centroids.  When
          two clusters are joined together, the new centroid is the
          midpoint between the joined centroids.

    `"ward"'
          Ward's sum of squared deviations about the group mean (ESS).
          Also known as minimum variance or inner squared distance.
          Assumes Euclidean metric.  How much the moment of inertia of
          the merged cluster exceeds the sum of those of the individual
          clusters.

 -- Function File: mad (X)
 -- Function File: mad (X, FLAG)
 -- Function File: mad (X, FLAG, DIM)
     Compute the mean/median absolute deviation of X.

     The mean absolute deviation is computed as

          mean (abs (X - mean (X)))

     and the median absolute deviation is computed as

          median (abs (X - median (X)))

     Elements of X containing NaN or NA values are ignored during
     computations.

     If FLAG is 0, the absolute mean deviation is computed, and if FLAG
     is 1, the absolute median deviation is computed. By default FLAG
     is 0.

     This is done along the dimension DIM of X. If this variable is not
     given, the mean/median absolute deviation s computed along the
     smallest dimension of X.

     *Algorithm*

     Using Cholesky factorization on the positive definite covariance
     matrix:

          R = chol (SIGMA);

     where R'*R = SIGMA. Being upper triangular, the determinant of R
     is  trivially the product of the diagonal, and the determinant of
     SIGMA is the square of this:

          DET = prod (diag (R))^2;

     The formula asks for the square root of the determinant, so no
     need to square it.

     The exponential argument A = X' * inv (SIGMA) * X

          A = X' * inv (SIGMA) * X
            = X' * inv (R' * R) * X
            = X' * inv (R) * inv(R') * X

     Given that inv (R') == inv(R)', at least in theory if not
     numerically,

          A  = (X' / R) * (X'/R)' = sumsq (X'/R)

     The interface takes the parameters to the multivariate normal in
     columns rather than rows, so we are actually dealing with the
     transpose:

          A = sumsq (X/r)

     and the final result is:

          R = chol (SIGMA)
          Y = (2*pi)^(-P/2) * exp (-sumsq ((X-MU)/R, 2)/2) / prod (diag (R))

     Computes the value associated with the P-th percentile of X. If X
     is a matrix, computes P for each column of X. If P is a vector,
     the returned value is a matrix with one row for each element of P

     operate along this dimesnion rather than the columns of the matrix.

     The first and last values are pegged at 0 percent and 100 percent
     respectively, and the rest of the values are uniformly spaced
     between them, with linear interpolation between the points.  This
     is consistent with the definition of quantile given in the R
     statistics package, but inconsistent with that of the statistics
     toolbox from Matlab.

     Generates pseudo-random numbers from a given one-, two-, or
     three-parameter distribution.

     The variable NAME must be a string that names the distribution from
     which to sample.  If this distribution is a one-parameter
     distribution ARG1 should be supplied, if it is a two-paramter
     distribution ARG2 must also be supplied, and if it is a
     three-parameter distribution ARG3 must also be present.  Any
     arguments following the distribution paramters will determine the
     size of the result.

     As an example, the following code generates a 10 by 20 matrix
     containing random numbers from a normal distribution with mean 5
     and standard deviation 2.

tabulate
# name: <cell-element>
# type: string
# elements: 1
# length: 1886
 -- Function File: TABLE = tabulate (DATA, EDGES)
     Compute a frequency table.

     For vector data, the function counts the number of values in data
     that fall between the elements in the edges vector (which must
     contain monotonically non-decreasing values). TABLE is a matrix.
     The first column of TABLE is the number of bin, the second is the
     number of instances in each class (absolute frequency). The third
     column contains the percentage of each value (relative frequency)
     and the fourth column contains the cumulative frequency.

     If EDGES is missed the width of each class is unitary, if EDGES is
     a scalar then represent the number of classes, or you can define
     the width of each bin.  TABLE(K, 2) will count the value DATA (I)
     if EDGES (K) <= DATA (I) < EDGES (K+1).  The  last bin will count
     the value of DATA (I) if EDGES(K) <= DATA (I) <=  EDGES (K+1).
     Values outside the values in EDGES are not counted.  Use -inf and
     inf in EDGES to include all values.  Tabulate with no output
     arguments returns a formatted table in the command window.

     Example

          sphere_radius = [1:0.05:2.5];
          tabulate (sphere_radius)

     Tabulate returns 2 bins, the first contains the sphere with radius
     between 1 and 2 mm excluded, and the second one contains the
     sphere with radius between 2 and 3 mm.

          tabulate (sphere_radius, 10)

     Tabulate returns ten bins.

          tabulate (sphere_radius, [1, 1.5, 2, 2.5])

     Tabulate returns three bins, the first contains the sphere with
     radius between 1 and 1.5 mm excluded, the second one contains the
     sphere with radius between 1.5 and 2 mm excluded, and the third
     contains the sphere with radius between 2 and 2.5 mm.

        * B is the second parameter of the continuous uniform
          distribution
     A and B must be of common size or one of them must be scalar and A
must be less than B

Return values
-------------

        * M is the mean of the continuous uniform distribution

        * V is the variance of the continuous uniform distribution

Examples
--------

          a = 1:6;
          b = 2:2:12;
          [m, v] = unifstat (a, b)

          [m, v] = unifstat (a, 10)
