On entry to DLASCLS parameter number 4 had an illegal value - octave

I do not understand why I get this error and I have googled it but I have not got any satisfactory answers. Many places on google they say it is because the shape of your input data is not good.
My code :
%defining variables
N=100;
n=23;
theta=zeros(1,N);
beta=zeros(1,N);
data=[17.88 28.92 33.00 41.52 42.12 45.60 48.40 51.84 51.96 54.12 55.56 67.80 68.64 68.64 68.88 84.12 93.12 98.64 105.12 105.84 127.92 128.04 173.40 ];
x=[0:0.1:2];

sum1=0;
sum2=0;
sum3=0;
k=0;
mean_beta=0;
mean_theta=0;
%For the case NO Censoring
%Repeating the experiment to get better results
for k=1:N
data=sort(data);
for i=1:n
t=data(i);
sum1=sum1+(t.^x)*log(t);
sum2=sum2+t.^x;
sum3=sum3+log(t);
end
%Calculating Value of Beta
f= #(z)(( sum((data(1):data(n)).^z).*(log(data(1):data(n)))/ sum((data(1):data(n)).^z)) - (sum3/n)-(1/z));
beta(k)=fsolve(f,3.);
mean_beta=mean_beta+beta(k);
%Calculating value of Theta
theta(k)= (sum((data(1):data(n)).^beta(k))/n)^(1/beta(k));
mean_theta=mean_theta+theta(k);
end
%Final Value
mean_theta=mean_theta/N;
mean_beta=mean_beta/N;

Function - Compilation error. Line 9: no viable alternative at character '{'

I am trying to write a trading strategy in Pine Script, but I am getting a compilation error on line 9. The error message states that there is "no viable alternative at character '{'". I have tried adding the keyword "function" before the function name, but the error still persists. The goal is to have the code look at the volatility of the market with MACD, 200 EMA and overall volume with in an hour to determine a safe amount to invest during that period. Can someone please help me fix this error and make my code compile successfully?
function calcTradeAmount(v) => {
tradeAmount = money * (v / 100)
return tradeAmount
}
If the function works properly my if(long) and if(shorts) should be able to pull a different number each time. I don't want to have 1 trade be the entire portfolio each time.
Sample:
if (long)
tradeAmount = calcTradeAmount(volatility)
entryPrice = low
calcTradeAmount(v) =>
tradeAmount = money * (v / 100)
tradeAmount

Use of function / return

I had the task to code the following:
Take a list of integers and returns the value of these numbers added up, but only if they are odd.
Example input: [1,5,3,2]
Output: 9
I did the code below and it worked perfectly.
numbers = [1,5,3,2]
print(numbers)
add_up_the_odds = []
for number in numbers:
if number % 2 == 1:
add_up_the_odds.append(number)
print(add_up_the_odds)
print(sum(add_up_the_odds))
Then I tried to re-code it using function definition / return:
def add_up_the_odds(numbers):
odds = []
for number in range(1,len(numbers)):
if number % 2 == 1:
odds.append(number)
return odds
numbers = [1,5,3,2]
print (sum(odds))
But I couldn’t make it working, anybody can help with that?
Note: I'm going to assume Python 3.x
It looks like you're defining your function, but never calling it.
When the interpreter finishes going through your function definition, the function is now there for you to use - but it never actually executes until you tell it to.
Between the last two lines in your code, you need to call add_up_the_odds() on your numbers array, and assign the result to the odds variable.
i.e. odds = add_up_the_odds(numbers)

Ruby Geocoder near working unexpectedly

Using Alex Reisner's Ruby Geocoder, I have a model "Spot" which is geocoded using this gem
If I select the first spot into and object:
s = Spot.first
Then try to find all the spots within a 10 mile radius (let's say there should be 12 of them), then i would expect Spot.near(s,10) to return an active record object containing 12 spots. Instead it's just returning something like this every time:
Spot.near(s1,10)
=> {:select=>"spots.*, AS distance, CAST(DEGREES(ATAN2( RADIANS(spots.longitude - -6.88671972656243), RADIANS(spots.latitude - 55.1729431175342))) + 360 AS decimal) % 360 AS bearing", :conditions=>["spots.latitude BETWEEN 55.028211334423354 AND 55.31767490064505 AND spots.longitude BETWEEN -7.140145500612388 AND -6.633293952512472 AND <= ?", 10], :order=>"distance ASC"}
Basically it's returning some SQL but no results.
What's going wrong here? Even if i try something a lot wider, like:
Spot.near([40,0],10000)
I still basically get no results back...
EDIT
I am able to execute the query using this (not pretty) addition...
q = Spot.near(s1,10)
spots = Spot.select(q[:select]).where(q[:conditions]).order(q[:order])

Using a variable in a SQLAlchemy filter

I want to use a variable like this :
myVariable = 0.5
myQuery.filter(myTable.column1 == myVariable*myTable.column2)
I have then no results when I apply all() to myQuery.
If I replace the variable with its value, it is OK.
queryBidOffer = session.query(BidOffer.id, BidOffer.price, BidOffer.qmin, BidOffer.qmax)
queryBidOffer = queryBidOffer.join(Equipment).filter(BidOffer.equipment==Equipment.id, Equipment.equipment_type.in_(['L','P','W','M']))
queryBidOffer_day = queryBidOffer.filter(BidOffer.day == day)
queryBidOffer_hour = queryBidOffer_day.filter(BidOffer.start_hour == timeSlice)
queryBidOffer_hour = queryBidOffer_hour.join(EquipmentDayHour, BidOffer.equipment == EquipmentDayHour.equipment)
queryBidOffer_hour = queryBidOffer_hour.filter(EquipmentDayHour.day == day)
queryBidOffer_hour = queryBidOffer_hour.filter(EquipmentDayHour.hour == timeSlice)
factor1 = 1.00 - 0.07
queryBidOffer_hour = queryBidOffer_hour.filter(BidOffer.equipment == EquipmentDayHour.equipment, factor1*func.abs(EquipmentDayHour.ref_prog) == 930)
The problem is with the two last lines (factor1).
In the last line, if I replace factor1 by its value, it is OK.
IEEE floating point numbers as used by Python, and many databases do not always work as your school math. The reason why 0.93 worked was that that was the bitwisely exact value that you had originally stored in database. But slight error appears in the subtraction.
See this for example:
>>> print "%0.64f" % (1.0 - 0.07)
0.9299999999999999378275106209912337362766265869140625000000000000
>>> print "%0.64f" % (0.93)
0.9300000000000000488498130835068877786397933959960937500000000000
Read more here How should I do floating point comparison and then for very in depth essay you could read What Every Computer Scientist Should Know About Floating-Point Arithmetic...
One solution could be to use decimal.Decimal in Python and Numeric in SQL.
I've just tested out something similar to the code you are describing, but get results whether I use a variable or a literal:
myVariable = 0.5
myQuery.filter(myTable.column1 == myVariable*myTable.column2).all()
vs.
myQuery.filter(myTable.column1 == 0.5*myTable.column2).all()
Can you post up the literal SQL that is being genarated? i.e. the results of
print myQuery
for both of those?

Lua - How do I use a function from another script?

I've been looking around and I have not been able to find anything that has worked for me. I'm starting to learn more Lua and to start off I'm making a simple calculator. I was able to get each individual operation onto separate programs, but when I try to combine them I just can't get it to work. My script as it is now is
require "io"
require "operations.lua"
do
print ("Please enter the first number in your problem.")
x = io.read()
print ("Please enter the second number in your problem.")
y = io.read()
print ("Please choose the operation you wish to perform.")
print ("Use 1 for addition, 2 for subtraction, 3 for multiplication, and 4 for division.")
op = io.read()
op = 1 then
function addition
op = 2 then
function subtraction
op = 3 then
function multiplication
op = 4 then
function division
print (answer)
io.read()
end
and my operations.lua script is
function addition
return answer = x+y
end
function subtraction
return answer = x-y
end
function multiplication
return answer = x*y
end
function division
return answer = x/y
end
I've tried using
if op = 1 then
answer = x+y
print(answer)
if op = 2 then
answer = x-y
print(answer)
and I did that completing each operation. But it doesn't work. I can't even get the error code that it's returning because it closes so fast. What should I do?
In your example, make these changes: You require operations.lua without the extension. Include parameters in your operations function definitions. Return the operation expression directly versus returning a statement like answer = x+y.
All together:
Code for operations.lua
function addition(x,y)
return x + y
end
--more functions go here...
function division(x,y)
return x / y
end
Code for your hosting Lua script:
require "operations"
result = addition(5,7)
print(result)
result = division(9,3)
print(result)
Once you get that working, try re-adding your io logic.
Keep in mind that as it's coded, your functions will be defined globally. To avoid polluting the global table, consider defining operations.lua as a module. Take a look at the lua-users.org Modules Tutorial.
The right if-then-else syntax:
if op==1 then
answer = a+b
elseif op==2 then
answer = a*b
end
print(answer)
After: please check the correct function-declaration syntax.
After: return answer=x+y is incorrect. If you want set answer's value, set without return. If you want return the sum, please use return x+y.
And I think you should check Programming in Lua.
First of all, learn to use the command line so you can see the errors (on Windows that would be cmd.exe).
Second, change the second line to require("operations"). The way you did it the interpreter expects a directory operations with an underlying script lua.lua.
