A Common Lisp wrapper for the Rmath library.

cl-rmath

#+TITLE: A simple wrapper for libRmath

*IMPORTANT* This library is [[https://tpapp.github.io/post/orphaned-lisp-libraries/][unsupported]].

This is a simple, autogenerated foreign interface for the standalone [[http://www.r-project.org][R]] API
[[
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-exts.html#The-R-API][libRmath]].  There has been no effort to provide a high-level interface for the original library, instead, this library is meant to serve as a building block for such an interface.

The =libRmath= shared library has to be installed for this library to work.  For example, on Debian/Ubuntu/..., you just need to
#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
apt-get install r-mathlib
#+END_EXAMPLE
as root.

The function names are preserved as they are.  Packages should not use the =cl-rmath= package, but refer to symbols using the =cl-rmath= or =rmath= package qualifiers (in fact, =fround= is in both =cl= and =cl-rmath=, so using the package would require shadowing).

Functions using random number generators are not expected to work out of the box.

It is only necessary to run =make= when =Rmath.h= changes.

Bugs and issues should be reported using the Github issue tracker.

The most useful source of documentation is [[http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-exts.html][Writing R Extensions]], in particular some sections in [[http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-exts.html#Numerical-analysis-subroutines][Numerical analysis subroutines]].  Note however that only a small subset of the functions documented on that page are part of the standalone library.
