common-lisp-stat isn't "awesome"
Under "Statistics" the only recommended library is common-lisp-stat which hasn't seen a commit since 2018 and at the top of the README features a giant marquee reading "status: improving". Elsewhere in the readme text there are several references to the library being in a pre-alpha state at best. Those things alone were enough to warn me off using that library.
I don't know of a better stats library but common-lisp-stat doesn't seem like it's complete and in fact seems abandoned.
I think we should keep it somehow in the list, but OK, not pushing it like this. What about:
- we remove the "Statistics" subsection
- we keep the library, but add a note that it's pre-alpha.
So we keep a chance for more people to discover it and join the effort.
Works for me. If it's the only library out there I don't mind keeping it on the list at all; the reason I raised the issue is because I was hoping someone could link to a more complete library.

What do you think of https://lisp-stat.dev/ ? It ships XLisp-Stat and newer libraries (some abandonned, some still in activity): https://github.com/Lisp-Stat

Just a point of clarification: except for <10 lines of code related to variable definition, Lisp-Stat does not ship any of XLisp-Stat. We do ship a compatibility library, XLS-compat, who's purpose is to ease porting from the XLisp-Stat code repository. The systems have different origins, and I recently updated the overview with an explanation on the relationship to XLisp-Stat. All of the libraries shipped in Lisp-Stat are actively maintained and used. They were abandoned, but have now been adopted and given a new home.
