Cleaned up expected value code a little Refactored running statistics objects (hid private fields, added `update-statistics*') Documented expected value functions and running statistics Removed `bfpsi0' from bigfloat tests (DrDr's libmpfr doesn't have it) Commented out custodian shutdown callback that frees MPFR's cache (something's broken)

The @racketmodname[math] library provides functions and data structures useful
|
|
for working with numbers and collections of numbers. These include
|
|
@itemlist[
|
|
@item{Additional constants and elementary functions}
|
|
@item{Special functions}
|
|
@item{Bigfloats, or arbitrary-precision floating-point numbers}
|
|
@item{Number-theoretic functions}
|
|
@item{Functional arrays for storing and operating on large rectangular data sets}
|
|
@item{Probability distributions}
|
|
@item{Statistical functions (currently being documented)}
|
|
@item{Linear algebra functions (currently under review)}
|

|
|
|
|
With this library, we hope to support a wide variety of applied mathematics in
|
|
Racket, including simulation, statistical inference, signal processing, and
|
|
combinatorics. If you find it lacking for your variety of mathematics,
|
|
please contact us or post to one of the
|
|
@hyperlink["http://racket-lang.org/community.html"]{mailing lists}
|
|
to make suggestions or submit patches.

@bold{This is a Typed Racket library.} It is most efficient to use it in Typed
|
|
Racket, so that contracts are checked statically. However, almost all of it can
|
|
be used in untyped Racket. Exceptions and performance warnings are in @bold{bold text}.
