  Description     : manipulate data in Octave similar to R data.frame

In the R language, a dataframe object is a way to group tabular data. The
functions in this package allow the manipulation of data in a similar way
in Octave.  Dataframe objects in Octave can be created in a variety of
ways (from other objects or from tabular data in a file) and then can be
accessed either as matrix or by column name.
 
This Octave add-on package is part of the Octave-Forge project.
