statistics-0.16.3.0: A library of statistical types, data, and functions

This library provides a number of common functions and types useful in statistics. We focus on high performance, numerical robustness, and use of good algorithms. Where possible, we provide references to the statistical literature. . The library's facilities can be divided into four broad categories: . * Working with widely used discrete and continuous probability distributions. (There are dozens of exotic distributions in use; we focus on the most common.) . * Computing with sample data: quantile estimation, kernel density estimation, histograms, bootstrap methods, significance testing, and regression and autocorrelation analysis. . * Random variate generation under several different distributions. . * Common statistical tests for significant differences between samples.
