Tried it. Not even close to a MATLAB replacement even for students. It doesn't support or doesn't name half of the statistical functions the same thing, which makes it useless for problem sets (where you have to turn in your source code).
- Anechoic 16y agoEven with Octave-forge?
- Locke1689 16y agoIIRC, octave-forge didn't help that the plotting/graph tools were either slightly different or nonexistent.
- forkandwait 16y agoWhen did you try it? I think there have been a lot of fixes to incompatible naming conventions lately. And ... so your student's plots look slightly different? Like what? ticks on the inside / outside, or??? That that's a deal breaker surprises me.
- Locke1689 16y agoNo, often the code is slightly different and doesn't run correctly in MATLAB. The last time I tried was December for probabilistic signals and random signals. I'm the student so the problem wasn't me, it was the TA's who ran the code and gave you a perfect score if it ran and produced exactly the same results or a zero if it didn't produce the same results. Personally, I use sci/numpy for all of my statistics/numerical analysis needs.
