9865182df4 Fixes, docs, and API changes for `math/statistics'
* Fixed and added tests for `quantile' and `median', documented them

* Added `sort-samples', documented it

* Removed `real-quantile' and `real-median' (too many design choices
  right now; will revisit when implementing Kernel Density Estimators)

* Documented `absdev' and `absdev/median'

* Fixed `update-statistics*': now uses O(1) space as advertised (if the
  sequences of values and weights both use O(1) space)

* Changed types of binning functions: allows using #:key in the future
  (when TR supports function type cases that differ only by keyword
  argument types better), places optional weights at the end like other
  statistics functions

* Clarified binning docs about sort stability and half-open intervals

769e8b47ec Added `array->list-array'
Cleaned up expected value code a little

Refactored running statistics objects (hid private fields, added
`update-statistics*')

Documented expected value functions and running statistics

Removed `bfpsi0' from bigfloat tests (DrDr's libmpfr doesn't have it)

Commented out custodian shutdown callback that frees MPFR's cache
(something's broken)

2d34811ab6 Finished `math/distributions' documentation!
Fixed a few limit cases in some distributions (e.g. (uniform-dist 0 0) didn't
act like a delta distribution, (beta-dist 0 0) and (beta-dist +inf.0 +inf.0)
pretended to be defined by unique limits even though they can't be)

Made integer distributions' pdfs return +nan.0 when given non-integers

Added "private/statistics/counting.rkt", for hashing and binning samples

Added `flvector-sums' (cumulative sums with single rounding error)

Added `flinteger?', `flnan?' and `flrational?', which are faster than their
non-flonum counterparts (at least in Typed Racket; haven't tested untyped)

f2dc2027f6 Initial math library commit. The history for these changes is preserved
in the original GitHub fork:

  https://github.com/ntoronto/racket

Some things about this are known to be broken (most egregious is that the
array tests DO NOT RUN because of a problem in typed/rackunit), about half
has no coverage in the tests, and half has no documentation. Fixes and
docs are coming. This is committed now to allow others to find errors and
inconsistency in the things that appear to be working, and to give the
author a (rather incomplete) sense of closure.
