RAVEN is a flexible and multi-purpose probabilistic risk analysis, validation and uncertainty quantification, parameter optimization, model reduction and data knowledge-discovering framework.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The installation process for RAVEN requires having a C++ compiler and building portions of RAVEN from source. Installation and distribution would be easier if this step weren't required. 1D distributions from Crow are among the C++ dependencies for RAVEN.
Describe the solution you'd like
Implement the Crow 1D distributions in Python using equivalent distributions from scipy.stats. The Crow distributions could then be either removed or made optional.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Just leave things as they are? This request shouldn't change the core functionality of RAVEN, only the installation process once enough of Crow has been made optional. Perhaps another avenue for simplifying the installation process could accomplish a similar goal.
For Change Control Board: Issue Review
This review should occur before any development is performed as a response to this issue.
[x] 1. Is it tagged with a type: defect or task?
[x] 2. Is it tagged with a priority: critical, normal or minor?
[x] 3. If it will impact requirements or requirements tests, is it tagged with requirements?
[x] 4. If it is a defect, can it cause wrong results for users? If so an email needs to be sent to the users.
[x] 5. Is a rationale provided? (Such as explaining why the improvement is needed or why current code is wrong.)
For Change Control Board: Issue Closure
This review should occur when the issue is imminently going to be closed.
[ ] 1. If the issue is a defect, is the defect fixed?
[ ] 2. If the issue is a defect, is the defect tested for in the regression test system? (If not explain why not.)
[ ] 3. If the issue can impact users, has an email to the users group been written (the email should specify if the defect impacts stable or master)?
[ ] 4. If the issue is a defect, does it impact the latest release branch? If yes, is there any issue tagged with release (create if needed)?
[ ] 5. If the issue is being closed without a pull request, has an explanation of why it is being closed been provided?
