Hello,

I'm doing my GSoC 2018 proposal for Boost.uBLAS project 1
https://github.com/boostorg/boost/wiki/Boost-Google-Summer-of-Code-2018#project-1--add-statistics-and-machine-learning-functions

The guide suggests implementing some fundamental components like... "many
sorts of distributions like histograms, etc."

Why do we need to implement those distributions when we've already had all
the things we need in <boost/math/distributions>? Here is the documentation
page of the <boost/math/distributions> library:
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_66_0/libs/math/doc/html/dist.html

If I read the documentation and the proposal guide correctly, then we have
basically had "many sorts of distributions like histograms, etc." already,
haven't we?
