Right, though given that Java package names generally map to directory names, there's room for confusion, especially given that we do have a standard "test" directory paralleling "java" under "src". > Maybe it should be organized more along the following lines? > > o.a.c.m.stat.probability... > o.a.c.m.stat.univariate... > o.a.c.m.stat.multivariate... > o.a.c.m.stat.inference... I'm not very picky about these names, either, as I'm not a probability/statistics person, as I said before. If others like the above, that's fine by me.
