There is also the pareto library from Sergei Lebedev if you are looking
for a statistics library:

https://github.com/superbobry/pareto

 From there:

pareto is an OCaml statistics library, based on GSL, which provides:
-Common statistical tests for significant differences between samples.
-Uniform interface for common discrete and continuous probability 
distributions.
-Sample statistics, quantile estimation, kernel density estimation.
-Resampling methods: jackknife, BCa bootstrap.
