Description
🧐 Motivation
Statistical functions are transcendental functions. This means they cannot be represented with a ration of polynomials and are evaluated irrationally. We have documented this in rigorous detail here. However, statistical processes are critical to a large number of engineering applications in both in finance and gaming.
📝 Details
We at primitive have both built and financed audits for SolStat, a statistical approximation library in solidity with custom EVM precision. I would like to open up discussion about including these contracts in the Open Zeppelin contracts and welcome community feedback.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the SolStat repository and the linked solstat explanation, then consider how the audited Solidity contracts fit OpenZeppelin Contracts. Done means the community has decided whether these statistical libraries belong in the project and, if so, what scope is acceptable.
