[gmx-developers] New statistics mini-library

[David van der Spoel]

Hi,

I've implemented a small library with some statistics functions 
(line-fitting, correlation coefficient, histograms and a bit more), 
based on old code that was shattered around the analysis tools, but with 
a cleaner interface, and with a test program. The idea is to extend the 
library with more general statistics functions as may be needed (e.g. 
stuff from g_analyze).

The  question I have is whether this should be made part of the analysis 
library or the gmx library, and whether this should be stored in a 
separate directory. For clarity and simplicity, I would propose putting 
it in a separate directory in the gmxlib directory, as it is not 
impossible that such functionality may be needed from mdrun as well.
Comments?

Cheers,
