Expand description

The numerical support layer: everything edgePython reaches into scipy for.

Special functions, distribution tails, optimisers and interpolation. All f64, whatever the EdgeFloat of the caller’s data.

Modules§

bobyqa
Powell’s BOBYQA, bound-constrained derivative-free minimisation, as NLopt 2.7.1 runs it.
dist
Distribution tails: everything edgePython calls scipy.stats for.
gamma
The polygamma family: the scipy.special calls edgeR and limma make.
interpolate
Interpolation: the layer edgeR gets from R’s C sources.
lbfgsb
Box-constrained limited-memory BFGS.
optimise
Scalar minimisation, root finding and derivative-free simplex search.
stats
Small statistical utilities: multiple testing, ranks, quantiles, trimmed means and the column-wise moving average.
