About the Project

Lisp-Stat provides support for vectorized mathematical operations, and a comprehensive set of statistical methods that are implemented using the latest numerical algorithms. In addition, Common Lisp provides a dynamic programming environment (REPL), an excellent object-oriented facility (CLOS) and meta-object protocol (MOP).

Lisp-Stat is fully functional today, and most of the XLISP-STAT libraries can be ported with the aid of a compatibility package XLS-compat. This gives Lisp-Stat a leg up on ecosystem development.

Built With

Getting Started

To get a local copy up and running follow these steps:

Prerequisites

An ANSI Common Lisp implementation. Developed and tested with SBCL ~~and CCL~~.

Note: CCL is in poor condition these days, and we no can longer support it due to some serious problem with numerical accuracy. See issue 390 for just one of the problems. A shame, because it's a great environment to work in.

Installation

Lisp-Stat is composed of several systems that are designed to be independently useful. So you can, for example, use select to obtain selections from two dimensional arrays without bringing in all of Lisp-Stat.

The easy way

lisp-stat has many dependencies, and the easiest way to load it is with a package manager, such as Quicklisp or CLPM. The install is a one-liner:

(clpm-client:sync :sources "clpi") ;sources may vary
(ql:quickload :lisp-stat)

From source

To make the system accessible to ASDF (a build facility, similar to make in the C world), clone the repository in a directory ASDF knows about. By default the common-lisp directory in your home directory is known. Create this if it doesn't already exist and then:

  1. Clone the repositories

    cd ~/common-lisp && \
    git clone https://github.com/Lisp-Stat/data-frame.git && \
    git clone https://github.com/Lisp-Stat/dfio.git && \
    git clone https://github.com/Lisp-Stat/special-functions.git && \
    git clone https://github.com/Lisp-Stat/numerical-utilities.git && \
    git clone https://github.com/Lisp-Stat/array-operations.git && \
    git clone https://github.com/Lisp-Stat/documentation.git && \
    git clone https://github.com/Lisp-Stat/distributions.git && \
    git clone https://github.com/Lisp-Stat/plot.git && \
    git clone https://github.com/Lisp-Stat/select.git && \
    git clone https://github.com/Lisp-Stat/cephes.cl.git && \
    git clone https://github.com/Symbolics/alexandria-plus && \
    git clone https://github.com/Lisp-Stat/statistics.git && \
    git clone https://github.com/Lisp-Stat/lla.git && \
    git clone https://github.com/Lisp-Stat/smoothers && \
    git clone https://github.com/Lisp-Stat/lisp-stat.git

    Note: If you've installed lisp with Roswell, first run cd ~/.roswell/lisp/quicklisp/local-projects and then run the git clone commands. The instance of ASDF that roswell installs will already be configured to look in that directory when loading lisp systems (a.k.a. packages, in the parlance of most other programming languages).

  2. Reset the ASDF source-registry to find the new system (from the REPL)

    (asdf:clear-source-registry)
  3. Load the system

    (asdf:load-system :lisp-stat)

If you have installed the slime ASDF extensions, you can invoke this with a comma (',') from the slime REPL.

You'll need to use Quicklisp, CLPM or manually obtain the remaining third-party dependencies.

Running Tests

To run the lisp-stat tests, evaluate this form: (asdf:test-system :lisp-stat)

Usage

Create a data frame from a file named sg-weather.csv on the local disk:

(defparameter *df*
    (read-csv #P"LS:DATA;sg-weather.csv"))

For more examples, please refer to the Documentation.
