Well, I'm sorry for this confusion, you're naturally right. The problem is that any bioinformatics textbook (e.g., basic, but one of the very best is http://www.bioalgorithms.info/) introduces these algorithms, so as time goes by, my perspective becomes somewhat limited ;-) The best way would really be to extend appropriate libraries (string & math algorithms), and create that bionf library with really bioinf-specific content.
And of course these same or similar algorithms are called chemometrics by chemists, statistics by statisticans and mathematics by mathematicians... So it is useful to have examples from several spheres (and give multiple names for things where, as all too often, each group calls the same thing something different).
