I started writing some backend regression routines, with the intent of creating a regression procedure. Since least-squares fitting is a cliche in statistics, these routines should be as general-purpose as possible, so I created a library in lib/regression. I haven't gotten far yet: just sweep.c, regression.h and Makefile.am, but it does compile to libregression.a.
Before I go any farther, is this an acceptable approach? libregression.a will know almost nothing about PSPP, but different PSPP procedures will be able to call its functions 'easily'. There are a lot of computational routines for linear models. If possible, such routines should be separated from the particularities of the many PSPP procedures that eventually will need those computations. (A semi-independent regression library might be useful in other programs.) If this sounds okay, I'll mail lib/regression to the list. If it's not okay, what kind of design do you want? -Jason -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org _______________________________________________ pspp-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pspp-dev
