Dear all -
I've confirmed that things work right now, under the following conditions:
0. I am working with Debian unstable, SBCL 1.1.14
1. Definition of "work" is: clean compile of everything, and running stuff from the examples directory, 00-04. 10 is what I am working on now (examples of basic EDA)
2. You need the common-lisp-stat and lisp-matrix versions from my github repo at this point (the rest of the changes ought to be in the recent quicklisp distribution, but those two are newer)
3. There is a list of tasks that are needed to be done -- at this point, PLEASE work in the examples/ directory, and if something is lacking in the infrastructure in src/ , put a patch or the function there (in examples) and we'll migrate.
4. the use of row / column type accessors should come from lisp-matrix (or similar from GSLL -- but I'm using lisp-matrix, for various reasons), please use statistically-oriented nomenclature, or be prepared to migrate (cases, variables, observations) for common-lisp-state. You can ignore this, but I promise to change...
5. David, lowess or loess would go into the examples/ directory for now...
6. It would be great if someone could do a simple MLE example, that is next (and is the start of "real statistical inference") after I do some of the table / graphics stuff for EDA
7. There has been some interesting work on reproducible random number streams recently for cl-randist . My current gripe on the current set of pRNGs in Common Lisp is the inability to do this (but I am VERY enthusiastic about some of the functional approaches that others have done, but without perfect reproduction, this isn't statistically useful...)
More sooner...
best,
-tony
