Thanks for pointing out the shadow functions.

For fstat see the discussions at

http://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/fstat-compatibility-issue-td1655051.html

and

http://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/Octave-s-fstat-vs-statistics-package-fstat-td3159635.html

So I will keep the fstat function in the statistics package. For now I
tend to keep the zscore function in the statistics package as well
because it also returns the mean and standard deviation. Removing it
might break legacy code. I considered a patch for the core function but
the core function uses the center function instead of calculating the
mean directly.
