randwd   randomly chooses n bits to set to 1
hamming  v.hamming(v1) is hamming distance between 2 vecs
flipbits v.flipbits(scratch,num) flips num rand chosen bits
flipbalbits v.flipbalbits(scratch,num) balanced flipping
vpr      v.vpr prints out vector as 1 (x[i]>0) or 0 (x[i]<=0)
fac      not vec related - returns factorial
logfac   not vec related - returns log factorial
vseed    set some C level randomizer seeds
slope(num) does a linear regression to find the slope, assuming num=timestep of vector
vslope(v2) does a linear regression to find the slope, assuming num=timestep of vector
stats(num,[out]) does a linear regression, assuming num=timestep of vector
vstats(v2,[out]) does a linear regression, using v2 as the x-coords
setrnd(v,flag) does set rand using 1:rand, 2:drand48
v.hash(list)  // make a hash out values in vecs in list
v.unnan([nan_value,][inf_value])  // remove nan's and inf's from a vector

: based on code from http://www.psychstat.missouristate.edu/introbook/rdist.htm
: return estimate of critical correlation coefficient (r) that >= to it would be considered significant
: at a given sample size of $1 (N) . probability of null hypothesis p < 0.05
: iff $2 == 1, probability of null hypothesis p < 0.01 ( r will then be higher )
: null hypothesis == correlation between variables , r , == 0
: this function uses a lookup table so is limited in estimates -- max sample size , N, == 1000 , but
: if your sample is bigger and your r value is also bigger, the correlation is significant because
: in general, as the sample size , N , increases, the r value above which is considered significant decreases
