Dear LazyWeb: is there a C/C++, #RustLang or #Zig equivalent of #SciPy’s `stats` module for statistical analysis? Namely:
• a collection of common PDFs (probability density functions);
• MLE (maximum likelihood estimation) for these common distributions;
• KDE (kernel density estimation).

SciPy’s API is a pleasure to work with. Anything that comes close but usable from C/C++/Rust/Zig would make my life so much easier. Boosts appreciated for visibility.

“Since my goal was to solve a problem no one had ever solved before, it required a creative and flexible approach, one that emphasized the exploration, experimentation, and steady refinement of ideas. But perhaps the most important lesson I learned was that there is no single “correct” way to be a mathematician.” - Katy Micek

Continued thread

Most users are not math, stats, or tech inclined. E.g., consider #healthcare cases or otherwise predominantly med / biomed folk. Hence, users want reassurance that the model is performing as expected and considering the relevant characteristics in the decision-making process. For example, dominant features, correlations, why does the model return the predictions it does, or any other feature of #XAI

#ai tools are innocuously used everywhere. From music and video recommendations to healthcare and industry automation, algorithms efficiently solve clustering, transfer learning, classification, or regression problems. Essentially limited to task-specialized algorithms trained on a specific dataset, they mostly fall into the category of black box models that provide a succint answer.
