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

The statistics package

[Tags:bsd3, library, test]

This library provides a number of common functions and types useful in statistics. Our focus is 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 three 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, bootstrap methods, and autocorrelation analysis.

Random variate generation under several different distributions.

Statistics: efficient, general purpose statistics
-------------------------------------------------

This package provides the Statistics module, a Haskell library for
working with statistical data in a space- and time-efficient way.

Where possible, we give citations and computational complexity
estimates for the algorithms used.


Performance
-----------

This library has been carefully optimised for high performance.  To
obtain the best runtime efficiency, it is imperative to compile
libraries and applications that use this library using a high level of
optimisation.

Suggested GHC options:

  -O -fvia-C -funbox-strict-fields

To illustrate, here are the times (in seconds) to generate and sum 250
million random Word32 values, on a laptop with a 2.4GHz Core2 Duo
P8600 processor, running Fedora 11 and GHC 6.10.3:

  no flags   200+
  -O           1.249
  -O -fvia-C   0.991

As the numbers above suggest, compiling without optimisation will
yield unacceptable performance.
