Basic statistics functionality for Julia

github.com/JuliaStats/StatsBase.jl ↗

StatsBase.jl is in caretaker mode — correctness fixes in, dependency bumps out.

juliastatisticsmaintenancedependency bumpsapi stability
◆Current state
StatsBase.jl is deep in the 0.34 patch series, releasing every few months with changes that are either small correctness fixes or bot-authored dependency bumps. The most substantive recent release, 0.34.10, fixed weighted sampling with UnitWeights, sped up unweighted ecdf, and widened quantile to accept non-Real element types. Since then the tags have thinned to CI action bumps and a diff-only note.
◆Where it's heading
This is the shape of a foundational Julia package that has reached its intended scope: the API is settled, and maintenance means keeping compat bounds current and closing long-tail correctness issues raised by users. Nothing in the feed suggests new statistical capability is being staged. The most likely reason is that new work now lands in the downstream packages that build on StatsBase rather than in StatsBase itself.
◆Prediction
Expect more 0.34.x patches on the same rhythm — CompatHelper bumps and occasional user-reported edge-case fixes — with no signal in these entries that a 0.35 or 1.0 is being prepared.

    v0.34.12

    A patch tag published with nothing but a diff link — no merged pull requests or closed issues listed. Consistent with the caretaker cadence the 0.34 series has settled into.

    v0.34.11

    Three bot-authored dependency updates: a Julia cache action bump, a Codecov action bump, and a LogExpFunctions compat widening. Nothing user-visible ships in this release.

    0.34.10: faster unweighted ecdf and quantile on non-Real element types

    The one release in this window with user-facing content: sampling without replacement under UnitWeights no longer errors, unweighted ecdf gets a performance pass, and quantile accepts non-Real element types. All three are long-tail fixes to an API that is otherwise frozen, which is exactly what a settled foundational package ships.
