For a package taking such a general name, would be great to clearly explain what's the difference with HypothesisTests. Is it more/different statistical tests here?
Also, skimming the docs I notice functional overlap with StatsBase as well – eg weighted mean stuff.

Hi Alexander, Well, as a matter of fact the package is a collection of functions related to various statistical problems that I was sharing with my collaborators. There is not much really in common HypothesisTests, just the standard p-value for frequentist fits, and yes there are a few convenience (one or two lines) functions in common with StatsBase. In the package there are functions to compute the Fourier Periodogram with any sampling and at any frequency (i.e, like the Lomb-Scargle periodogram), to compute the Rayleigh time of arrival periodogram, and a couple of not widely known goodness of fit tests from recent literature to be applied in a Bayesian scenario (Lucy's and Gelman's). That said, what is your advice? Should I change the name of the package with something more specific or personal? Or, maybe, just adding a longer description in the README and in the github landing page? Or anything else? I'm glad to improve the registration if possible and/or needed.
