[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #59410] [octave forge] (statistics) geomean with NaN

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #59410 (project octave):

Thanks for testing.
I understand that this is a change in behavior. But reading their
documentation, it looks like this is compatible behavior (at least for
`geomean`).
I don't have access to the statistics toolbox in Matlab. So it would be nice
if someone could verify that this is the case.

The 'g' switch is an Octave extension to the `mean` function. There are
arguments in favor of and against failing on NaN input. But I'd argue that if
mean without the 'g' switch doesn't fail for NaN input, it shouldn't fail with
the 'g' switch either...
