LuaSF

LuaSF stands for Lua Statistics Functions.

LuaSF is a lightweight, pure-Lua statistics library for descriptive statistics, shape statistics, bivariate statistics, probability helpers, sampling utilities, pseudo-random variable generation, and formula-based regression summaries.

It is designed for small scripts, teaching, simulations, game/mod scripting, and lightweight statistical utilities.

Why LuaSF?

• Pure Lua implementation
• No native dependencies
• Lua 5.1+ friendly
• Single-file friendly public API
• Modular internal source layout
• Legacy API compatibility
• LuaRocks packaging
• Practical examples and tests

Scope

LuaSF focuses on lightweight statistics, probability, random variables, regression summaries, and simulation helpers.

It intentionally avoids becoming a machine learning framework.
