Linear Programming in Math Commons and Happy New Year
Hi Gang,
I noted a recent exchange on OLS regarding Math Commons. Thus far I find
the Math Commons working flawlessly. I am also working on a project for
pure real time financial optimization using the Linear Programming
algorithm of Math commons. I designed my code to flip between the QSOPT
package and the Math common LP algo to check the robustness and consistency
of results. I get exactly same answers in both and that LP is using over
2000 variables and 3000 constraints!
Keep up the good work and I am looking forward to the 'split' between
Commons Math and Statistics.
Cheers to you all and have a great 2018
Bill Igoe

Sure,
Would love to incorporate additional statistical routines, time series
analysis and the like. The underlying code is very stable and adding more
routines would aid in robustness and versatility.
I find myself writing my own. For instance ARIMA is simply a variation of
your MultivariateFunction optimizers.

Ok. Was just trying to make a suggestion to think about shooting for incremental changes specifically with [math] to go along with all of the good work with the other mathematical projects.

I would be happy to help create Commons-Stat as I use those functions all
the time.

This branch is unsupported; making a new release based on it will
send the wrong signal and is likely to generate bug reports already
filed on "master" (with "Fix version" set to 4.0), and sometimes
fixed there (or in "RNG" or in "Numbers").
You'd basically scratch almost 3 years of continuous work:

Any time spent on back-porting fixes from "master" will be better
used for advancing towards the release of "Commons Numbers", and
other components with supported (reviewed and fixed) codes,
according to the "plan" (cf. ML archive for details).
Help welcome.

As outlined in another thread, high-level functionalities with
positive feedback, like the one referred to here, can be ported
to a new component, with low-level supporting codes (but possibly
buggy) being hidden in "internal" packages until they are ported
(or released) themselves.
Comments, and help with experimenting, on this approach welcome.
E.g. the contents of "o.a.c.m.stat.regression" would become a
module of "Commons Stat".

Many thanks for the encouragement.
All - any thoughts on trying to do a release on [math] is the 3.X branch stable? Are there any small bug fixes we can do to make small incremental changes and release those?
