-------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi [~ericbarnhill], I am currently in my 2nd year of studying Computer Science
at Imperial College London and I am interested in this project. I have lots of
experience with functional programming in Java, and additionally have lots of
familiarity with Haskell. I also have a strong knowledge base of statistics but
lack experience in R. Would the main aim of the project to develop libraries of
existing statistical methods using Java streams? Thanks!

> 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.
