Eric Barnhill commented on STATISTICS-7:
----------------------------------------

Oh you are right, those have been ported, but not much developed. I see Gilles 
has one Gsoc ticket regarding the distributions and he can speak to what work 
needs to be done there. 

This ticket addresses more the commons-stats functions, in particular summary 
statistics that are widely used.

>                 Key: STATISTICS-7
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STATISTICS-7
>             Project: Apache Commons Statistics
>          Issue Type: New Feature
>            Reporter: Eric Barnhill
>            Priority: Major
>              Labels: GSoC2019, gsoc2019, statistics, streams
>
> The new component aims to be a library of commons statistics functions 
> synchronized with the latest developments in the Java language, in particular 
> Java's functional programming syntax.
> The library will make commonly used statistical functions available to an end 
> user through a simple grammar comparable to commons-math-statistics or 
> scikit-learn, while under the hood will implement Java's mapping, streaming, 
> and other producer and consumer functions to ensure the statistical methods 
> run optimally in new Java implementations.
> Developers working on the project will have the opportunity to demonstrate 
> Java programming, functional programming, algorithm design, and data science 
> skills and receive authorship on a commons project that is likely to be 
> widely used.
> The ideal contributor will also be able to help with important architectural 
> decision making. The old source of these libraries, commons-math, grew too 
> large, hierarchically complex and interdependent for the commons mission. The 
> developers on this project need to make architectural choices that will 
> enable the statiscal code to be lightweight and reusable, with a minimum of 
> outside dependencies while avoiding redundancy.
