Access to statistics in UDFs

Vertica maintains some statistics internally about table columns, such as estimated row count. Is it possible to access any of these estimates through the UDF API?

I am trying to implement some UDFs for probabalistic cardinality estimation, and even a rough estimate of the size of the input set would be very useful.
