stats module
I think it's probably time to do what we've talked about for a long time, and move a bunch of functionality to a stats module. I'll edit this as discussion proceeds. (I don't even have all the functions explicitly listed here.)
I don't think this is a 0.2.2 discussion, maybe 0.3.0?
Up for discussion
- bootstrapping code in PoPPY: suggest go to stats if possible (the general boots_ci, not association analysis CI).
- histogram-related code: ??? Mostly it's in toolbox. Could see a case both ways
- specific statistical tests or aggregate metrics from a sample: go to stats
- drawing from or defining a particular distribution: maybe go to stats?
Go to stats
Leave where it is
I am a fan of Go to Stats for most of these things. Finding things between toolbox and stats is hard for a user.
