+1. I just (finally) ordered the book, which should help. Three things put me off of this: (1) (perhaps biased) how can Smalltalk code be fast enough? (2) No examples, poor categorization (3) The use of histograms in least squares fitting - I'm a parametric guy. Re the dearth of examples, I created a few (attached) - barely scratching the surface, I know. I'm really stumped on OptimzationDHB and #points:function:. The method signature sounds like what I want to do, but I doubt that something as "simple" as DhbLeastSquareFit points:self sampleDataNegativeExponentialPlusConstant function:[ :x :a :alpha :b | a * ( (x / alpha) squared negated exp ) + b ]. is going to be "understood." We know that x is the independent variable and a, alpha and b are parameters to be found, but I have no idea how to express that to the code. Any ideas? It might be that I need to look at the optimizers, since most of my fits are really about minimizing residuals. Is Levenberg-Marquardt anywhere in the mix?

Thanks I was reviewer for the book of didier. Now I think that it would be good to revive the project and make it even better. I started to have a look. I will publish a configuration to start with.

Indeed, you should check out DHBNumerical. I'm using it for Kalman filter development/simulation, and have previously done Galois field simulation using Bessett's DHBPolynomial. These are many included probability distributions and statistical queries built in, so quite likely has what you need. No underscores needed :)

Hi guys
I would like to know if there is a package doing some statistics in Pharo. I should check the work of didier besset but I want to know if there is more.
It would be good to have such kind of package.
