Is there any future development planned for statistical?

It's been awhile since anyone has pushed to this repo. Has it been abandoned?

I'm not currently doing active development on the project, but I would welcome contributions that fit within the goals of the project. I realize that I have never explicitly stated goals. Aside from correctness, which is a given for a mathematics library, a simple and easy to understand API is my main motivation for the project. statstical should be the tool you reach for when you want to do some simple statistical analysis on relatively small datasets without having to think too much about how to use it.

I would also be happy to add additional maintainers to the project if someone is interested in that.

@JeffBelgum Good to know! I'd like to help out when time allows. I'm new to Rust, but not to math. I'll study the project more and help out where I think it makes sense. If you have anything off of the top of your head that you'd like to see, I'd like to hear about it.

Thanks for getting back to me!

Issues #6 #10 add new features if you're interested in either. I think #5 would best be solved by integrating https://github.com/withoutboats/failure into the return types of functions that can fail on certain input values.

I'm happy to review code if you want to open a PR for the above issues, or open a new issue if there's another feature you want to add.

I would suggest to keep statistical as compact as possible to allow reuse. For the ones interested, we are working on wider scope ML library at smartcorelib ; we ported some statistical methods into our codebase (mostly because we found hard to integrate a var function that is computed on sum / (len - T::one()) elements) and we are considering using statistical as library to implement other things that we have in mind.
