StatsAPI provides a common namespace for packages providing statistical functionality. It supersedes StatsBase's use for this purpose.
As part of the migration to using StatsAPI, which is itself a non-functional change, I've made two functional changes in the form of deprecations. Namely,
estimate_covar
has been deprecated in favor ofvcov
andconfidence_interval
has been deprecated in favor ofconfint
. While the former is a simple renaming, the latter also involves specifying the confidence level rather than the Type I error rate (1 - alpha instead of alpha). These deprecations will provide a more consistent user experience with other packages that provide statistical functionality.
