Thank you, Rik, for the clarification.
Pushed the change here: https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/d00280b0d6bd

Re-closing report.

@Markus: Generally for something this small you wouldn't bother to re-open the report.  Just post the patch and the comment and the original subscribers will all get the e-mail.

Your change looks fine.  Go ahead and push it and close the report when you are ready.

Yet another step towards supporting Matlab's core functions. Great work.

The attached patch removes "corrcoef" from the list of unimplemented functions.
Is it OK that I re-opened this report?

I made some more changes.  jwe dislikes CamelCase variables and prefers lower case where possible.  I also declared flags, such as piecewise, before the start of the nested loops since the calculation needs to be done only once.  I pushed it here (http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/87b6f3606fd4).  Finally, we can say this is fixed and close the report.

I have taken Guillaume's code and cleaned it up to follow Octave coding conventions as well as adding more BIST tests.  This is ready to go aside from the question of the name on the copyright at the top of the file.

Guillaume, since you write this corrcoef.m file, you should be listed as the author and copyright holder of the file. We do not do copyright assignment in Octave, each contributor is the owner of their individual contributions.

If there is a reason that you do not want to hold the copyright on this file in the Octave repository, please contact either jwe or myself privately (jwe or mtmiller at octave.org) to discuss.

Guillaume, I agree with Mike that you should be listed as the copyright holder.

The patch you submitted for bug #37330 had no name for the copyright, so Rik probably just put JWE's in by default when he committed it.

If Mike has reviewed this patch, let's try to get it into 4.2.0.

This was my understanding from an conversation with @rik5 but maybe I got it wrong.

You'll have to ask jwe about that. Most contributions to Octave have the copyright held by the original author and contributors of substantial changes to individual files, we do not do copyright assignment in general.

I indeed wrote this function but I understand that it is possible to copyright the file with jwe's name to satisfy the requirements of the GPL (as before for desktop() in bug #37330). As for the "Author: jwe" line, you're right, it should be removed.

Would that be ok?

 Guillaume <gyom>

Function looks well-written to me and passes all tests.

If you wrote it, why does it say "Copyright (C) 2016 John W. Eaton" and "Author: jwe" ?

Attached is new, hopefully complete, implementation of corrcoef.

I have attached an attempt of implementation of corrcoef. it is essentially a wrapper around corr and cor_test. It does not handle the options regarding confidence intervals and NaN but this could be easily added, see

Supports different name/value parameters and output arguments than corr.

We replaced corrcoef with corr because our behavior was different from Matlab's  [1]. However, corrcoef is in core Matlab, whereas Matlab has corr only in the Statistics toolbox. We should have a Matlab-compatible corrcoef, as suggested elsewhere [2].
