Not that I can think of an immediate use of it atm, but wouldn't it make sense for this function to support strided lists?

This is a very specific function, which I would rather not complicate to duplicate an existing function like llList2ListStrided. llListStatistics(llList2ListStrided(mylist,0,-1,stride), FUNCTION) will of course work.

Hey Kelly,
Cool stuff, I always love math functions.
However, can you give us some ideas of what the use/demand for this function were?
I'm sure once I know how other people will be using it, I'll come up with some good of my own.

I suspect it's because a lot of lists are used for this reason already, so a function specifically for it may be much more efficient in terms of speed and memory.
e.g - my shop has a visitor counter which collects a list of unique (ish due to limit sizes for storing visits that day) visits to my store. So if I had 20 people on Monday, 30 on Tuesday and 40 on Wednesday the list would be:
[20,30,40]
It then gives me various statistical results, such as the average visits per day of 30 (90/3).

My guess is that they needed it for internal projects, wrote the code, and figured they might as well give it to us.
