Rlab is a very high level language intended to provide fast
|
|
prototyping and program development, as well as easy
|
|
data-visualization, and processing.
|
|
|
|
The fundamental data type is a floating point matrix (either real or
|
|
complex), though RLab also includes string matrices, and sparse
|
|
numerical matrices (both real and complex). A heterogeneous
|
|
associative array has been added to allow users to create and operate
|
|
on arbitrary data structures.
|
|
|
|
Rlab offers simple access to the most popular linear algebra
|
|
libraries, BLAS, and LAPACK. Furthermore, Rlab's basic data structures
|
|
are matrix oriented, with the vector dot-product an integral part of
|
|
the built-in operations. Due to the array oriented operations, and
|
|
the high-level interface to FFTPACK, and a discrete IIR filtering
|
|
function, Rlab servers well as an environment for signal analysis and
|
|
exploration.
