Abstract:
|
The paper presents a high-level software for solving linear systems. The program, written entirely in standard C language, operates directly on the command-line or through simple "scripts" following a syntax similar to the classical mathematical notation. The paper also presents numerous statistical examples (e.g. parameter-estimation of linear and non-linear regression-models) using large matrices. Finally, the program performance is compared against other software available for scientific computing, and conclusions are drawn about the benefits of working with each of them.
