About the Project
Lisp-Stat provides support for vectorized mathematical operations, and a comprehensive set of statistical methods that are implemented using the latest numerical algorithms. In addition, Common Lisp provides a dynamic programming environment (REPL), an excellent object-oriented facility (CLOS) and meta-object protocol (MOP).
Lisp-Stat is fully functional today, and most of the XLISP-STAT libraries can be ported with the aid of a compatibility package XLS-compat. This gives Lisp-Stat a leg up on ecosystem development.
Built With
Getting Started
To get a local copy up and running follow these steps:
Prerequisites
An ANSI Common Lisp implementation. Developed and tested with
SBCL and
CCL.
Note: CCL is in poor condition these days, and we no can longer support it due to some serious problem with numerical accuracy. See issue 390 for just one of the problems. A shame, because it's a great environment to work in.
Installation
Lisp-Stat is composed of several systems that are designed to be independently useful. So you can, for example, use select to obtain selections from two dimensional arrays without bringing in all of Lisp-Stat.
Getting the source
To make the system accessible to ASDF (a build facility, similar to make in the C world), clone the repository in a directory ASDF knows about. By default the common-lisp directory in your home directory is known. Create this if it doesn't already exist and then:
- Clone the repositories
cd ~/common-lisp && \
git clone https://github.com/Lisp-Stat/data-frame.git && \
git clone https://github.com/Lisp-Stat/dfio.git && \
git clone https://github.com/Lisp-Stat/special-functions.git && \
git clone https://github.com/Lisp-Stat/numerical-utilities.git && \
git clone https://github.com/Lisp-Stat/array-operations.git && \
git clone https://github.com/Lisp-Stat/documentation.git && \
git clone https://github.com/Lisp-Stat/distributions.git && \
git clone https://github.com/Lisp-Stat/plot.git && \
git clone https://github.com/Lisp-Stat/select.git && \
git clone https://github.com/Lisp-Stat/cephes.cl.git && \
git clone https://github.com/Symbolics/alexandria-plus && \
git clone https://github.com/Lisp-Stat/statistics.git && \
git clone https://github.com/Lisp-Stat/lisp-stat.git- Reset the ASDF source-registry to find the new system (from the REPL)
(asdf:clear-source-registry)
- Load the system
(asdf:load-system :lisp-stat)
If you have installed the slime ASDF extensions, you can invoke this with a comma (',') from the slime REPL.
Getting dependencies
To get the third party systems that Lisp-Stat depends on, you can use a dependency manager, such as Quicklisp or CLPM. Once installed, get the dependencies with either of:
(clpm-client:sync :sources "clpi") ;sources may vary(ql:quickload :lisp-stat)You need do this only once. After obtaining the dependencies, you can
load the system with ASDF as described above without first syncing
sources.
Running Tests
To run the lisp-stat tests, evaluate this form: (asdf:test-system :lisp-stat)
Usage
Create a data frame from a file named sg-weather.csv on the local disk:
(defparameter *df*
(read-csv #P"LS:DATA;sg-weather.csv"))
For more examples, please refer to the Documentation.
