[Octave-patch-tracker] [patch #10008] [octave forge] (statistics) Add function inconsistent

[anonymous]

Follow-up Comment #3, patch #10008 (project octave):

About the code formatting: no problem. I have just found this:
https://wiki.octave.org/Octave_style_guide .

About the nested function: I used the nested function exactly to avoid the
duplication of data. I think that Octave creates a copy of the input arguments
every time the function is called, which, for a recursive function, means many
times at once. I can relocate it inside the main, if you think it will make it
more readable.

About the dataset: it is the most famous Iris dataset (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iris_flower_data_set ) published by Fisher in
1936. It is included in R and scikit-learn (a BSD licenced package for Python)
and it is, as far as I know, in public domain. However I am going to include a
reference to the UCI Machine Learning Repository in the file, just to make its
provenance clear.

I think that I will be able to upload the updated versions in a few days.
