There are two libraries that should mostly address your needs for math
and statistics: lacaml and gsl-ocaml:

  https://bitbucket.org/mmottl/lacaml
  https://bitbucket.org/mmottl/gsl-ocaml

The first one interfaces most of BLAS/LAPACK, which are the de-facto
standard for heavy-duty linear algebra (vector and matrix operations,
factorizations, eigenproblems, solving equations and least-squares
problems, etc.).

gsl-ocaml interfaces most of the GNU Scientific Library, which is
probably the most widely used open source library for that purpose.

Regards,
Markus
