@ds26gte waiting to hear back about the desired contract from one of the teachers who requested these functions, which should give me a sense for whether these are close enough...

@ds26gte I spoke with Nancy Pfenning today, who gave the following descriptions of what the inputs to various functions should be: z-test: list of numbers, stddev, hypothesized mean t-test: list...

@ds26gte Sorry for the delay on this! I was hoping to hear back from the teacher who was requesting them, but they're overwhelmed with end-of-year stuff so I hopped on...

@ds26gte good call. I propose `linear-regression` and `multiple-linear-regression`, possibly also with `single-linear-regression` as an alias for the first.

@ds26gte In Bootstrap:DS, everything is done via tables. The previous domain of `linear-regression` consumed a list of xs and a list of ys, which worked perfectly with Pyret's column->list machinery....

But that only works for 2 lists. What about 10? 20?

If we never needed more than x and y, we'd be happy to stay with linear regression. The whole point of adding multiple regression is allow for such scenarios, right?...

I know MR doesn't use tuples - the issue is having to transpose tens of thousands of cells into the list format MR needs, and having to do it all...

@ds26gte nevermind -- Ben and I spoke by phone, and he explained that I'm worrying about the wrong performance hit. If it's going to be slow anywhere, it'll happen in...

@blerner and @ds26gte I think this is ready to close, no?
