Statistical Distributions / Mathematical Special Functions: revised URL's
Since some people have had problems accessing the previous URL's given, the library is now available from the following locations: www.johnmaddock.co.uk/toolkit Or http://freespace.virgin.net/boost.regex/toolkit/index.html Or Go to the Boost Vault at http://boost-consulting.com/vault and cd into the "Math - Numerics" directory. Note that the code and documentation are separate downloads. In addition there is the subset of Boost-1.34 used by the lib here: http://freespace.virgin.net/boost.regex/toolkit/miniboost.zip Please note that the lib will not build with Boost-1.33.1 since it uses some parts of Boost.TR1. And finally... Bleeding edge cvs access is available via the Boost-Sandbox: http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost-sandbox/ Once you have checked out the sandbox you will need to do a: cvs update -r math_toolkit at which point everything should disappear except the current math-toolkit code. Regards, John Maddock.

Many thanks for this. After a first glance: This looks like a lib that is useful for me immediately. Again OpenSource boosts (sic!) productivity. Q1: In the docs you mention the accumulator package from Eric Niebler. Is this simply a complement package or is there some overlap, which might be merged _before_ inclusion into boost? I simply fear the same difficulties as for boost::(*|lambda)::bind, the placeholder chaos (*|boost::*)::_1, and all the joy to encounter with ADL. Q2: if the docs contain a "TODO" or "Under construction" marker does that mean the code still has to written or does it only mean the docs still have to be written? Markus

Good :-)

No overlap, Erics package computes mean, sd, variance etc in a highly optimised manner. Once you have those stats you can feed them into the toolkit to do your statistical tests. Or you can compute those stats using whatever other method you currently use. The two packages should be very complementary.
Q2: if the docs contain a "TODO" or "Under construction" marker does that mean the code still has to written or does it only mean the docs still have to be written?
It means I've been lazy in writing the docs :-) The main blank spaces were in the tutorial/examples I think ? If you have good suggestions for examples to go in there that would be great. Or was it something else you had in mind? Thanks for the feedback, John.
