…an AbstractArray (#5810)

still not clear what to do with floating point in StepRange

It turns out there are many cases that are drastically easier this way.
Tests not passing yet, but getting there.

And add a simple test for hist()

Also update test suite to follow suit

Also split out parseint loops in strings.jl to better separate out exception types

Also some minor reorganization

- Implement sum(fn, A, region)
- Implement Base.sumabs across dimensions
- Use pairwise summation/BLAS for sums across first dimension

…e (with tests)

Also fix a bounds violation when computing the variance of a vector
with a single element

Fixes #8598, closes #8605, ref #6820

The special cases give the same result as the general rule, but are faster.
Fix the docs and explain the rule as regards the result type.

Avoid `Real` overflow in `middle`

 * throw more specific Exception types
 * make error messages more consistent
 * give more context for the error when possible
 * update tests

Export mapreducedim.

Update documentation.

Add mapreducedim for DArrays

not quite done with renaming

[ci skip]

This fixes performance problems for many SubArray operations

This fixes the long-standing name "bug".  Note that it only affects surface syntax.  Internally, generated functions still use the old language (e.g., Expr(:stagedfunction, ...), isstaged, stagedcache, etc).

This adds a temporary deprecation to the `stagedfunction` keyword -- the keyword should be entirely removed before the 0.4 release.

…arrays

This fixes #13081 and the type instability that motivated that issue.

Also make sure that all methods are tested.

2 in a row is generally enough

Deprecate AndFun, OrFun, XorFun, AddFun, DotAddFun, SubFun, DotSubFun,
MulFun, DotMulFun, RDivFun, DotRDivFun, LDivFun, IDivFun, DotIDivFun,
ModFun, RemFun, DotRemFun, PowFun, MaxFun, MinFun, LessFun, MoreFun,
DotLSFun, and DotRSFun.

Rewrite specialization of BitArray map! to use function types and a
helper type BitChunkFunctor for operations without a named function.

…e.jl

Fixes issue JuliaStats/StatsBase.jl#164, and another when `p < eps()`.

the external abi is to call var,
the internal abi doesn' need to branch to alternative functions based on whether mean is given as zero
that simply made the dispatch less straightforward to understand
even though doing an exact comparison to 0 isn't generally reliable

ref #6273, which initially introduced these functions as the public API, before changing them to be the internal implementation

* Added a function argument to mean

* Test function argument to mean

* Fixed tests and function call in fallback method

* Fixed test to address issue

* Changed == to === in tests

* Addressed type instability in fallback method

* Removed extra function call

* Document mean(f::Function, v)

* Moved the docs into a docstring

change identity comparisons to use isequal

Due to a change in the behaviour of `mapslices` (#16260), `median(X,k)` would mutate the underlying array. Fixes #17153.

Also fix bug in hex2num, exposed due to ≈ not being broken like `@test_approx_eq`.

Make `median` non-mutating on arrays.

avoid that cor(x,y) > 1.

Make sure that the loop vectorizes

Convert corzm into corm to avoid allocation of tempraries.
