Not sure which "latest proposal" you're referring to.

The postings I've sent recently regarding statistics have a similar name to 
the math function proposals that we just saw (they both are called 
statistics), but really they are orthogonal.

The math functions are a collection of functions that happen to be useful in 
statistics.

The stats class I was working on is a class for computing (currently) second 
order statistics of a random variable: mean and standard deviation.

Incidentally, I hope that the proposal to add any such functions would be as a 
library seperate from libstdc++.  They are too specialized for the core, 
IMHO.
