  -    of this document. Developers who want to lend a hand can grab tasks from 
  -    this page. Everyone can see the progress which is being made.

  -      Add confidence intervals to Univariate implementations.

  -      Framework and implementation strategie(s) for finding roots or real-valued

  -      Cubic spline interpolation.

  -      Javadoc generation is still throwing warnings.  Bring the 
  -      Javadoc into compliance (i.e. reach zero warnings).

  -     <li>
  -      Clover tests show gaps in test path coverage. Get all tests to

  -      or experiments comparing implementions using floats to doubles.

  -       Additional code review. Verify that the code matches the

  -       All feedback/suggestions for improvement/patches are welcome.
  -     </li>

  -    <li>
  -      Binomial coefficients -- incorporate an "exact" implementation that is
  -      limited to what can be stored in a long.  Also provided double-valued
  -      implementation of binomial coefficients and their logs.

  -     computations

  -      t-test statistic needs to be added and we should probably add the

  -      The RealMatrixImpl class is missing some key method implementations.
  -      The critical thing is solution of linear systems.  We need to implement a 
  -      numerically sound solution algorithm.  This will enable inverse() and also
  -      support general linear regression.
  -     </li>
  -     <li>
  -      Added double[] |-> double methods in StatUtils to take start indexes and length
