 @chapter Statistics
 
+Octave has support for various statistical methods.  This includes
+basic descriptive statistics, statistical tests, random number generation,
+and much more.
+
+The functions that analyze data all assume that multidimensional data
+is arranged in a matrix where each row is an observation, and each
+column is a variable.  So, the matrix defined by
+
+@example
+a = [ 0.9, 0.7;
+      0.1, 0.1;
+      0.5, 0.4 ];
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+contains three observations from a two-dimensional distribution.
+While this is the default data arrangement, most functions support
+different arrangements.
+
+It should be noted that the statistics functions doesn't handle data
+containing NaN, NA, or Inf.  Such values needs to be handled explicitly.
