How can I use Scheme/Lisp/Clojure for Matrix/LP problems?

Question

I need to perform numerical analysis like that supported by MatLab or NumPy. Is there a good library that is supported by Scheme/Lisp/Clojure(Java)? I don't want to leave my round braces.

Thanks a lot.

Answer 1

Lisp:

http://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/project/ai-repository/ai/lang/lisp/code/math/matrix/0.html

Java:

Jama:http://math.nist.gov/javanumerics/jama/
Colt:http://acs.lbl.gov/~hoschek/colt/
Apache commons math: http://commons.apache.org/math/

If speed is important, you can try Parallel Colt: http://sites.google.com/site/piotrwendykier/software/parallelcolt

Answer 2

Incanter is a Clojure-based, R-like statistical computing and graphics environment for the JVM. At the core of Incanter are the Parallel Colt numerics library, a multithreaded version of Colt, and the JFreeChart charting library, as well as several other Java and Clojure libraries.

Answer 3

For PLT Scheme see the plt-linalg package on planet. There is also mzgsl which has bindings for the GNU Scientific Library.

Answer 4

For Common Lisp, see

• Matlisp: a matrix package for Common Lisp (includes BLAS and LAPACK);
• GSLL: GNU Scientific Library for Lisp;

and others on cliki.
