You are correct that in general R provides a superset of what commons math does, though there are a few things that commons math provides that R does not. There is a lot of overlap and in many cases the functionality that is provided by commons math is similar to what R provides, though of course the APIs are different. We test some of the commons math implementation classes against R (see the R subdirectory in src/test). Commons math will not be of much value as a wrapper / invocation framework for R; but it can be used directly to do some of the same computations that R does. This was part of the original motivation for creating commons math. The best way to get an overview of what is provided by commons math is to look at the User Guide: http://commons.apache.org/math/userguide/index.html Phil > > On Apr 28, 2010 6:22 AM, "Rory Winston" <[email protected]> wrote: > > Sachin > > Commons-Maths could work with rJava (as it is a Java-based library).
