Hi Phil,

I have been thinking for a few days on the Matrix classes.

I think the Matrix class itself should contain all those methods that do matrix calculations (add, subtract, multiply) that either a Matrix themselfs or proporties of the Matrix (isSingular for example). The mean methods (getRowMeans) etc are statistics done ON a matrix, and I think they should be in a seperate class, maybe called MatrixStats. This enables aso he option to add variances and SD's which are needed for column mean resp mean-SD standardizations, to be used for example in PCA calculations when a covariance resp. correlation matrix is used.

Is there the intention to add an EigenvalueDecomposition class to the package? In that case, which algorithm is targeted to be used? Jacobi?

Cheers,

Kim
