Jerrad, I haven't used Statistics::R but it's probably worth considering. I suppose that R also merited mention as a language for data analysis in addition to Python and Java/JVM.
With regard to PDL, for most tasks you want be be able to easily apply a known algorithm to your data and not have to worry about writing it from scratch. PDL may or may not be a better platform than Python's numpy but there are sophisticated libraries such as sci-py and PyBrain built on top of numpy and no real equivalent for Perl and PDL. -- David On Wed, May 29, 2013 at 1:45 PM, Jerrad Pierce <[email protected]> wrote: > For general data analysis, PDL, Statistics::R or PDL::R::math > seem like more logical choices than the languages you mentioned. > _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
