As it happened, I found the solution myself. I was running code under Octave 3.0.1 that I had written under Octave 2.5, and it included a calculation with the Gamma distribution. The results were different in the two versions. After a short experimentation I noticed that the Gamma parameterization was changed (probably for compatibility with Matlab) so I changed my code accordingly and everything run well. I have come back to Octave after a long time doing everything with R (I'm a statistician), but I like Octave very much, I will read the posts, and I will ask politely for help when I need it.2008/7/28 Rubén Roa-Ureta <address@hidden>:Being new to the list, I was trying to find a posting guide, like there is for example for R, to no avail (maybe I didn't try hard). So, is there a posting guide to ask questions about Octave to the experts?I don't think we have one, but I'm not sure we need one either. Tell us what you want to happen, what is actually happening, show us any error messages you get, and show us the code you're typing. Oh, and be nice. That seems like common sense to me, but lawyers have shown that common sense often needs to be codified. So, ask away. - Jordi G. H.
Thanks to Dmitri for the link to how to ask question the smart way. Rubén
