I'm about to start implementing a library for multivariate Gaussian distribution. [snip] it's possible to team up, or -if nobody is working on it- initiate development?
There's nothing in development at present (that I know of), so a submission would certainly be welcome. The main open issue IMO is getting the interface right for the mutivariate case.
Yes, exactly, the interface is one of the main reason for me to team up with C++ pears, to try and get that right. That a thing where feedback is very helpful! As I see it, there are a couple of interface issue: * containers for the multivariate parameters (vectors and matrices) and operators on those containers -inverse of a matrix- * specifying generic functions/properties of multivariate densities, that would apply to *any* multivariate density * the number of Gaussian identities/operators/function/algorithms to include, there are many, some widely used, some obscure... I'm trying to form a team -asking friends- and will probably be able to get some knowledgeable C++ developers to contribute to this. As I understand, the procedure is to get it working first & then submit it to the sandbox? How would I be able to get boost developers involved during the early interface design phase? Regards, Thijs
