Replace dead link with one that is at least alive today

 * Examples, please?  This item goes to the heart of what I consider an 
ongoing lack of consensus about what Commons-Math is supposed to be for.  
Should it include discipline-specific algorithms that do not overlap core 
numerical mathematical areas?  Maybe, but we should discuss it. -- AlChou

Catherine Loader's alogorithms [http://www.herine.net/stat/papers/dbinom.pdf].  
These algorithms address some of the problems we experienced with large 
parameter values and have been adopted by many software packages including R.

Dropped request for number ranges - duplicates org.apache.commons.lang.math

* Implementing algorithms for practicality, and look into optimizing 
the algorithms (in terms of implementing it).
   * AbstractStorelessUnivariateStatistic.evaluate(...) and all the workhorse 
implementations in subclasses should be static methods. -- NickGuenther
   * StandardDeviation has versions of .evaluate which take a precalculated 
mean. It would be nice if the same sort of thing could be had for all the other 
measures (e.g. skewness & kurtosis should be able to take both precalculated 
means and standard deviations) -- NickGuenther
-  * A 'between' function for checking number ranges.  I've searched and could 
not find one, but if this functionality already exists, please contact me --

The following page has been changed by PhilSteitz:
http://wiki.apache.org/commons/MathWishList

The comment on the change is:
Dropped things that have been implemented or no longer make sense.

--
   * Add ability to compute the density of normal distribution and other well 
behaved distributions
   * Add ability to sample from some of the common distributions such as 
normal, gamma, beta and so on.
   * Add Dirichlet, Multinomial distributions
-  * Add alternative pseudo-random number generators (PRNGs)
+  * Add additional alternative pseudo-random number generators (PRNGs)
-* "implement good random number generators, e.g., like those described in 
''Numerical Recipes'' or Knuth". -- AlChou
-* I highly recommend working with Paul Houle 
[http://www.honeylocust.com/RngPack/] to get these random number generators 
integrated into the math library. He has stated to me in the past that he is 
willing to relicense them under the Apache license. As well I beleive that with 
the BSD being compatable with Apache licensing, there would be little stopping 
us from integrating them ourselves as a derivative work. - Mark Diggory - 
Pluggable as of 1.1 release.
-* Investigate alternative methods for generating values from discrete 
distributions [http://www.jstatsoft.org/v11/i03/]

-* I don't understand; we already have some storage-less statistics.  What 
am I missing from the post you refer to? -- AlChou
-* Oh, I remember now that with the standard deviation algorithm I 
researched, in order to maintain a '''rolling window''', it would have to store 
all the data in the window so it could delete the least recent one while adding 
the most recent one.  Sorry for the denseness. -- AlChou
