Crate linxal [−] [src]

Description

linxal is a linear algebra package on top of ndarray.It currently provides major drivers from LAPACK, but will also support other higher-level tasks in the future, such as linear regression, PCA, etc.

The repository for linxal can be found here.

Uasge

linxal is available as a crate through cargo. Add the following line to your Cargo.toml, in the dependencies section:

[dependencies]
...
linxal = "0.1"

In your lib.rs or main.rs file, use

extern crate linxal;
use linxal::prelude::*;

The linxal::prelude modules re-exports the most useful functionality.

Organization

Most of the useful functionality for linxal comes in the form of traits, which are implemented in terms of scalars and provide functionality for matrices and vectors composed of the scalars. Most traits have a compute function, and variants, which performs the describe behavior.

For instance, the Eigen trait, implemented for single- and double-precision real and complex-valued matrices, allows one to compute eigenvalues and eigenvectors of square matrices.

#[macro_use]
extern crate linxal;
extern crate ndarray;

use linxal::eigenvalues::{Eigen};
use linxal::types::{c32, Magnitude};
use ndarray::{Array, arr1, arr2};

fn main() {
    let m = arr2(&[[1.0f32, 2.0],
                   [-2.0, 1.0]]);

    let r = Eigen::compute_into(m, false, true);
    assert!(r.is_ok());

    let r = r.unwrap();
    let true_evs = arr1(&[c32::new(1.0, 2.0), c32::new(1.0, -2.0)]);
    assert_eq_within_tol!(true_evs, r.values, 0.01);
}

Modules

eigenvalues	Contains methods for solving eigenvalues, including general and symmetric/Hermitian eigenvalue problems.
least_squares	This module contains the `LeastSquares` trait, which acts as an entry point, which is used to compute least squares solutions.
prelude	Common traits, structures, and macros for most user-end applications
solve_linear	Containts traits and methods to solve sets of linear equations.
svd	Solve singular value decomposition problems.
types	Globally-used traits, structs, and enums
util

Macros

assert_eq_within_tol

Assert that two ndarrays are logically equivalent, within tolerance.
