--------------------------------------
Summary: Implementation of regression libraries within
common-statistics framework
Key: STATISTICS-8
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STATISTICS-8
Project: Apache Commons Statistics
Issue Type: Task
Reporter: Eric Barnhill
Apache commons is one of the most widely used resources by Java programmers
around the world. Data related applications are soaring and Java is one of the
most commonly used languages for data engineering. Consequently the
commons-statistics library, currently under development, is likely to find a
widespread audience.
For this project we aim to implement regression methods, arguably the most
widely used techniques in statistics and machine learning, within the Apache
commons framework, in particular within the new commons-statistics library.
The assignee will:
* Use core functionality from the regression sub-libraries of the deprecated
commons-math 4 framework as a starting point
* Create a new, standalone commons component for regression statistics,
focusing first on linear and logistic regression
* Make architectural and design decisions in the commons philosophy, that is,
lightweight standalone components easy to understand and use by a wide range of
Java developers (i.e. not a large, omnibus mathematical library with many
degrees of abstraction)
* Draw inspiration from widely used libraries in scikit-learn and R to design
an up-to-date statistics package
* Design unit testing and documentation for these libraries
Particularly challenging design decisions include how to incorporate core
matrix libraries with a minimum of dependencies and redundancies.
