As ClojureScript compiles to JavaScript, we can't make use of the libraries that have Java dependencies. Incanter is heavily reliant on several underlying Java libraries, so we have to find an alternative to Incanter for our browser-based statistical analysis.

jStat (https://github.com/jstat/jstat) is a JavaScript statistical library. It provides functions to generate sequences according to specific distributions, including the exponential and t-distributions.

To use it, we have to make sure it's available on our webpage. We can do this either by linking it to a remote content distribution network (CDN) or by hosting the file ourselves.
