""" Author: Roger Labbe Copyright: 2014 This code performs various basic statistics functions for the Kalman and Bayesian Filters in Python book. Much of this code is non-optimal; production code should call the equivalent scipy.stats functions. I wrote the code in this form to make explicit how the computations are done. The scipy.stats module has many more useful functions than what I have written here. In some cases, however, my code is significantly faster, at least on my machine. For example, gaussian average 794 ns, whereas stats.norm(), using the frozen form, averages 116 microseconds per call.
