* :mod:`scipy.stats`
This scipy package contains a variety of useful statistical functions and
classes. The functionality in `astropy.stats` is intended to supplement
this, *not* replace it.
* :func:`astropy.visualization.hist`
The :func:`~astropy.stats.histogram` routine and related functionality
defined here are used within the :func:`astropy.visualization.hist`
function. For a discussion of these methods for determining histogram
binnings, see :ref:`astropy-visualization-hist`.
