11 points · Open discussionStats also works fine with pure []float64 data. The types allow for a very clean API for working with data and statistics. You can compare using functions[1] or methods[2] in /examples.
I started with only []float64 but wanted to allow stuff like this:
func getData() []float64 {
// Do stuff to get the data and
// store it in var data []float64
return data
}
var d Float64Data = getData()
fmt.Println(d.Max())

In Show HN: Golang statistics package with 100% code coverageYou are correct, it's been fixed with this commit[1]. My excuse is it was late when I added those output comments.

40 points · Open discussionHappy to see Travis-CI updated gimme[1] with 1.5 support just now!
I've been anticipating the change and had already updated my .travis.yml file in my stats package[2] which would fall back to tip.

In Go 1.5 is releasedBy the way, if anyone who works on the Go math library is reading this, there are a few important functions missing.
I thought the same, so I built a stats library[1] of my own. It also only works on float64's at the moment.
