I'm sure there are folks interested in statistical (and other)
functions.  I've developed exactly this sort of class in the 
past so I understand the utility.  However, I suspect some of 
us would hope statistical algorithms to be formulated as STL 
Algorithm extensions.  Specifically concerning statistics see:

and more generally:

We definitely need volunteers to take these rough Wiki musings and
convert them into actual documented libraries.  I'm not sure this
is what you had in mind, but I, for one, would welcome your effort
either way!
