I'm interested in adding support for arbitrary metrics (euclidean distance, taxi-cab, etc) to boost so that I can make use it, as well as some alternate tree structures, such as kd-trees. I can't quite figure out where they would be most appropriately placed, and it doesn't seem as if there is enough (or enough similarity) to have a totally separate library. Anyone have any thoughts?
It might make sense to put it Boost.Stat, ie, a statistics package for boost. There are some basic stuff in the sandbox in the "stat" directory, but I have stalled development currently (for several reasons, most notably lack of time). My next step would have been to add generic matrix algorithms to implement stuff like inversion. Anyway, I feel kd-trees and metrics would fit nicely into this lib. best regards -Thorsten
