This is a required dependency for [Math]. > I have been held up with other things so have not made progress on the releases: Numbers -> RNG -> Statistics Statistics requires: - a new version of numbers to obtain the updated more accurate Brent solver for the inverse CDF computation, plus all the work on the beta and gamma functions. - a new version of RNG that has updated distribution samplers I think numbers could be released now. Ideally I would like to add a SplittableUniformRandomProvider interface to RNG before it is released with the new XBG generators. These are splittable in the JDK and it makes sense to do this now as RNG now supports Java 8 and this functionality applies to Splittable streams. This is not essential and it could be released as it is. However the splittable functionality may be limited if added later with constraints of binary compatibility. I would rather try to put it in now. I have done a lot of thinking on adding to the API so I could try and put this up on a Jira ticket for discussion. Alex
