About the Project

The array-operations system is a collection of functions and macros for manipulating Common Lisp arrays and performing numerical calculations with them.

Array-operations is a 'generic' way of operating on array like data structures. Several aops functions have been implemented for data-frame. For those that haven't, you can transform arrays to data frames using the df:matrix-df function, and a data-frame to an array using df:as-array. This make it convenient to work with the data sets using either system.

Built With

• let-plus

Getting Started

To get a local copy up and running follow these steps:

Prerequisites

An ANSI Common Lisp implementation. Developed and tested with SBCL.

Quicklisp Installation

(ql:quickload :array-operations)

Manual Installation

1. Clone the repository

   cd ~/quicklisp/local-projects &&
   git clone https://github.com/Lisp-Stat/array-operations.git

2. Reset the ASDF source-registry to find the new system (from the REPL)

   (asdf:clear-source-registry)

3. Load the system

   (ql:quickload :array-operations)

Usage

Arrays can be created with numbers from a statistical distribution:

(rand '(2 2)) ; => #2A((0.62944734 0.2709539) (0.81158376 0.6700171))

in linear ranges:

(linspace 1 10 7) ; => #(1 5/2 4 11/2 7 17/2 10)

or generated using a function, optionally given index position

(generate #'identity '(2 3) :position) ; => #2A((0 1 2) (3 4 5))

For more examples, please refer to the manual.

Notes

Expect spurious warnings from SBCL related to 'deleting unreachable code' when running the tests. The tests it's warning about do run and we haven't had the time to debug SBCL's warnings. See issue #4.
