Note to contributors: as tasks get finished, please update this file with an `x` and keep it there. This should help us fill out a changelog for an eventual stable release.
The following behavioral differences have been detected between the Matlab functions and their R counterparts. In order to save time, these differences will not be addressed, since they could require extensive reworking of a function. However, such differences may very well cause unexpected problems in some situations, which is why compiling this list is so important. The tables below might provide a good starting point for identifying and fixing bugs.
As general remarks, one should keep in mind that:
- For compliance with IEC 60559, the `round` in base R rounds .5 to the nearest even integer, whereas the homonym function in Matlab rounds up (or down, if negative).
- Some clobal variables have been added as a new (last) argument to the function they appear in.
- When a function is defined on Matlab with multiple outputs, as in `[y1, y2] = f(x)`, it will output only `y1` if called without assignment, as in `f(3)`, or if called with a one-length assignment, as in `a = f(3)`. In order to receive the full output, one must assign two variables to the left side of the assignment operator, as in `[a, b] = f(3)`. rBAPS Functions that might be affected by this behavior include `etsiParas`.
