## Current Version: v0.16.0

Should work for both nightly and stable Rust.

**NOTE:** While I will try to maintain backwards compatibility as much as possible, since this is still a 0.x.x project the API is not considered stable and thus subject to possible breaking changes up until v1.0.0

## Description

Statrs provides a host of statistical utilities for Rust scientific computing.
Included are a number of common distributions that can be sampled (i.e. Normal, Exponential,
Student's T, Gamma, Uniform, etc.) plus common statistical functions like the gamma function,
beta function, and error function.

This library is a work-in-progress port of the statistical capabilities
in the C# Math.NET library. All unit tests in the library borrowed from Math.NET when possible
and filled-in when not.

This library is a work-in-progress and not complete. Planned for future releases are continued implementations
of distributions as well as porting over more statistical utilities

Please check out the documentation [here](https://docs.rs/statrs/*/statrs/)

## Usage

Add the most recent release to your `Cargo.toml`

```Rust
[dependencies]
statrs = "0.16"
```

## Examples

Statrs comes with a number of commonly used distributions including Normal, Gamma, Student's T, Exponential, Weibull, etc.
The common use case is to set up the distributions and sample from them which depends on the `Rand` crate for random number generation

```Rust
use statrs::distribution::Exp;
use rand::distributions::Distribution;

let mut r = rand::rngs::OsRng;
let n = Exp::new(0.5).unwrap();
print!("{}", n.sample(&mut r));
```

Statrs also comes with a number of useful utility traits for more detailed introspection of distributions

```Rust
use statrs::distribution::{Exp, Continuous, ContinuousCDF};
use statrs::statistics::Distribution;

let n = Exp::new(1.0).unwrap();
assert_eq!(n.mean(), Some(1.0));
assert_eq!(n.variance(), Some(1.0));
assert_eq!(n.entropy(), Some(1.0));
assert_eq!(n.skewness(), Some(2.0));
assert_eq!(n.cdf(1.0), 0.6321205588285576784045);
assert_eq!(n.pdf(1.0), 0.3678794411714423215955);
```

as well as utility functions including `erf`, `gamma`, `ln_gamma`, `beta`, etc.

```Rust
use statrs::statistics::Distribution;
use statrs::distribution::FisherSnedecor;

let n = FisherSnedecor::new(1.0, 1.0).unwrap();
assert!(n.variance().is_none());
```

### Style

This repo makes use of `rustfmt` with the configuration specified in `rustfmt.toml`.
See https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/rustfmt for instructions on installation
and usage and run the formatter using `rustfmt --write-mode overwrite *.rs` in
the `src` directory before committing.
