noting that the original nabble links are all broken, here are what should be working links to the functions that were left to be fixed:

Originating thread:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-octave/2012-05/msg00484.html
Shifted to maintainers list:

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/octave-maintainers/2012-05/msg00358.html
and
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/octave-maintainers/2012-06/msg00114.html


After reading through those threads and this bug report, I confess I'm not certain what other functions we're awaiting patches for. Unless someone else can pull a suggestion of functions needing fixes from those email threads, and seeing how the last real patch for this was a decade ago, I'd suggest closing the report.

Pushed supplied changes to the statistics package:

https://sourceforge.net/p/octave/statistics/ci/51d11b1d2af13d3a3ddd1e85831768a823754035/


Leaving report open for now for if anyone provides a patch for the other functions.

This issue is still present in Octave 4.2.0.

No updates on this bug report for a while. Do you plan on providing a single patch that will fix this problem for all of the statistical test functions?

I have attached the other two patches. Please note that other tests will have to be patched as well.

Just for sake of completion, these are the links for the different threads generated on the different mailing lists when reporting the bug originally and comments from other devs.

Please ignore the mention of "statistics package" on the subject line.

All statistical tests I used behave unexpectedly when the variance of the one or multiple input samples is 0. This sometimes leads to divide by zero warning, but correct results, but sometimes (as in the case for anova) also produces wrong results without warning, because of badly conditioned subtraction that can lead to divide-by-small-negative-number instead of divide by zero.

I have pinged this back and forth between different octave lists and was told to report this here.

I have attached a patch for anova , and will attach two patches for t_test_2 and var_test tomorrow (they are on a different computer). The other tests have to be fixed likewise.

Best,
Hannes
