I am soliciting feedback regarding the API of my statistics module:
http://code.google.com/p/pycalcstats/
Specifically the following couple of issues:
(1) Multivariate statistics such as covariance have two obvious APIs:
A pass the X and Y values as two separate iterable arguments, e.g.:
cov([1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6])
B pass the X and Y values as a single iterable of tuples, e.g.:
cov([(1, 4), (2, 5), (3, 6)]
I currently support both APIs. Do people prefer one, or the other, or
both? If there is a clear preference for one over the other, I may drop
support for the other.
Don't currently need/use stats, but B seems clearer to me.
