Does the statistics package work with Octave 4.0?  When I try to install, I
get an error that statistics needs io >= 1.0.18.  I have io 2.2.11
installed.

Win7, if that matters.

kmeans is a function of the statistics package. It is not a package of its
own.

use
pkg install -forge statistics

then see: 
http://octave.sourceforge.net/statistics/function/kmeans.html

Found the error - just having the io package installed is not sufficient.
You need to force load the io package before installing statistics:

pkg load io

then statistics will install without error.

Should I file a bug to have the error message say
" statistics needs io >= 1.0.18 (is the package loaded?)"

It would be wordier, but might point people in the right direction.

(or just try to load required packages at pkg install time...)
