# `obistats` Package — Core Statistical Functions The `obistats` package provides generic, type-safe implementations of fundamental descriptive statistics for numeric types in Go. ## Key Functions - **`Max[T]()`** Returns the maximum value in a slice of numeric types (`int`, `int8`–`64`, `float32/64`). *Implementation*: Iterates once, tracking the largest element. - **`Min[T]()`** Returns the minimum value in a slice of numeric types (including unsigned integers: `uint`, `uint8`–`64`). *Implementation*: Single-pass scan, comparing each element to the current minimum. - **`Mode[T]()`** Computes the *most frequent* value (mode) for signed integer types only (`int`, `int8`–`64`). *Implementation*: Builds a frequency map, then selects the value with highest count. ## Design Notes - **Generics**: All functions use Go type parameters (`[T ...]`) for compile-time safety and performance. - **Type Scope**: - `Max` supports signed integers + floats (no unsigned). - `Min` includes all integer variants. - `Mode` is restricted to signed integers (due to map key constraints and semantics). - **Assumptions**: Input slices are non-empty; no explicit error handling for edge cases (e.g., empty input). - **Use Case**: Lightweight, reusable utility functions suitable for statistical pipelines or exploratory data analysis. > ⚠️ *Note*: No mean, median, variance, or standard deviation functions are provided in this excerpt.
