Call about Numerical Methods in Pharo :)

stepharo
Hi guys

I met Didier Besset and we had a great hacking session and discussions
with Serge Stinckwich.
Didier would like to help Pharo and the numerical part of it. ***Big
thanks*** Didier.

We would like to do several things:

     - Work on "Hows to"
       The numerical methods in Pharo is good but the gap between us and
the math is too large :)
      so the idea is to have a series of "how to ..."
             - histomgram (simple, based on distribution)

     - Improve the SciPharo/NumPha (previously SciSmalltalk) library
     This morning we started to implement a
ComponentPrincipalDecomposition by combining two of the
     objects available in SciPharo.
         Then we started to enhance the distributions to make sure that
we can plug other distribution for having
         controlled random number.

     - Do a public call to know what is missing for you: this is this
mail :)
     Didier would like to work on concrete cases. I love that attitude
     So tell us :)

             Hernan ??
             Alex: ?? pvalue? better distribution?
             Vincent: covariance? CPA?
             Philippe: times series
             Serge R frames?
             Sami: Better random number and various distributions?

     - Organise a two day lectures with practices on concrete case in
September with a recording session.
     Either at IRD Bondy or Lille.

     - Make sure that the Numerical Method book will get on lulu :) with
a better cover and title :)

This is great news!

I would be interested in time series and distributions as well.

Cheers,
Doru

Distributions are already there. I start some early work on time series.

In reply to this post by stepharo
frankly all this zealot mails do not have any sense.

first, SciSmalltalk is a project made fundamentally by Serge, and is Serge who has pointed he wants a change of name for something sexier… what is the problem?
second, by discussing a nonsense (because is subjective and everybody has a different opinion) you are highjacking the real purpose of this mail: a call to the community to improve the numerical methods support in Pharo.

So, please, can we stay cool and go back to discuss what is really important?

cheers,
Esteban
