Hi PDL Porters!

This month I got Crypt::OpenPGP as my CPAN Pull Request Challenge. You can read more about it here: http://blogs.perl.org/users/neilb/2014/12/take-the-2015-cpan-pull-request-challenge.html

I see there are some open issues on Github - https://github.com/PDLPorters/PDL-Stats/issues

And some on RT too - https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Dist/Display.html?Name=PDL-Stats

Anything in particular you'd like me to look at?

Alex

Hi Alex!

PDL is an interesting module to contribute to since it has its own ecosystem inside of Perl. Adding features (new functions) requires some knowledge of C/XS and PDL's built-in macro language PDL::PP. If you're willing to do that, I think @maggiexyz might have some ideas of wishlist functions to add. There might be, say, statistical distributions in GSL that might need wrapping. I see that the GSL Histograms are not covered anywhere in PDL::* modules. (edit: I'm not sure GSL Histograms are that interesting for PDL users since PDL can do much of that already.)

You can also look into improving the code coverage. We just recently added code coverage for builds at Coveralls. Maybe you can tackle adding a test for the Poisson distribution function as listed in the issue #8.

Cheers,
zaki
