Soliciting Comments on DSP Library

[Malcolm Wallace]

I have just a few simple comments about naming.

I suggest the fuller name 'Statistics', and indeed it does not belong
under DSP.  Possibly under Numeric, but maybe at the top level?

'Poly' what?  Polymorphic? Polynomial?

How about

    Numeric
       DiscreteTransform
          Fourier
          Cosine
          Sine
          Hartley

PDF = Adobe Portable Document Format?  No?  Then what? My guess is
Psomething Distribution Function, so how about Numeric.Random.Distribution?
