A dependency-free JavaScript library implementing descriptive, regression, and inference statistics for Node.js and browsers. It is written in literate JavaScript with named ES6 exports and works via npm, bundlers, or a script tag.

Use cases

• compute mean, median, and standard deviation in JavaScript
• run linear regression on a dataset in the browser
• calculate probability distributions without heavy dependencies
• add basic statistics to a Node.js app
• classify data with a simple Bayesian classifier in JS

When to choose

• you need lightweight, zero-dependency statistics in JavaScript
• you want stats functions that work in both browser and Node.js
• you prefer readable, well-documented, thoroughly tested code

When to avoid

• you need advanced statistical modeling or machine learning beyond regression and Bayesian classification
• you work in Python, R, or another language with richer statistical ecosystems
• you need GPU-accelerated or large-scale numerical computing
