Class LinearAlgebra


  • public class LinearAlgebra
extends java.lang.Object
    This class implements some methods from linear algebra (e.g. solution of a linear equation, PCA). It is basically a functional wrapper using either the Colt library or Apache commons math. I am currently preferring to use Colt, due to better performance in some situations, however it allows to easily switch some parts to Apache commons math (this is the motivation for this class).
