Are there any scientific packages for Lua comparable to Scipy?

You should try Torch7 (github).

Torch7 has a very nice and efficient vector/matrix/tensor numerical library with a Lua front-end. It also has a bunch of functions for computer vision and machine learning.

It's pretty recent but getting better quickly.
