OCaml Math Library

0.0.7

A collection of OCaml Math and Statistics functions. The API is available online.

Goals

  1. Perform simple and sophisticated mathematical and statistical analysis inside of (mostly) OCaml. Please see Oml_full section for details.

  2. Have a descriptive, simple, and typed approach to those algorithms.

    • descriptive: what a function does should be easy to understand from the type and name.

    • simple: don't worry about the corner cases of the algorithms, until you have to.

    • typed: obviously.

  3. Well tested. There are a subtle dependency between float capabilities and these algorithms. The test suite aims to provide bounds as well as a benchmark for comparing algorithms.

  4. Informative examples.

Building

  • make setup will opam install the necessary packages for Oml_full.

  • make build will compile source.

  • make test for tests. - We use Kaputt as the testing framework. Tests are found in *.mlt files and are joined with their respective source files only when building a test target. - make TEST={ModuleName} test will run the test in ModuleName, ex make TEST=Descriptive test - make setup_test will install packages necessary for testing.

  • make covered_test for Bisect_ppx instrumented test coverage.

Oml_full

Oml_full is a superset of Oml that includes C and/or Fortran dependencies. It is generally more useful and incorporates Oml in a typed equivalent way. The goal is to provide a flexible end-user target for those who don't need C dependent functionality.

Dependencies

For the "full" Oml package make setup will opam install these:

  • Lacaml for BLAS/LAPACK bindings.

  • LBFGS for bindings to LBFGS optimization routines.

  • ocephes for special functions.

And for testing:

Anything within the problem domain is welcome.

Questions, Bugs, Issues

The best place to discuss Oml is within Github's issues (even for questions).
