Is there any plan to possibly have a MultivariateRealFunction interface?
I had planned to return the linear regression coefficients in
the form of a linear function:

public interface MultivariateRealFunction
{
        public double value(double x[]);
}

// in package "linear"

// a function of the form:
//    y = b0 + b1*x1 + b2*x2 + ... bn*xn
public class LinearFunction 
        implements MultivariateRealFunction
{
        public double value(double x[]) { ... };
        public int getCoefficientCount() { ... };
        public double getCoefficientAt(int idx) { ... };
        public double[] getCoefficients() { ... };
}


public class LinearRegressionResults
{
   public LinearFunction getFunction() { ... };
   public double[] getResidual();
   ...
   // put in all the other statistical values here
}

public class LinearRegresion
{
   public LinearRegressionResults 
          solve(double x[][], double y[]) { ... };
}

Thoughts?

Please, attempt to generate unified cvs diff of your changes if they are 
to existing file and/or attach any new files in a tar archive.

Unless your already an Apache developer, its generally the practice at 
Apache to Contribute for a little while, once the group feels that your 
effort and content are acceptable, someone will propose a vote to give 
you commit rights.

The Bug queue is kept very short for the Math project, you can expect 
any patches you submit via bugzilla (or soon Jira) will be reviewed and 
commented on or applied usually within a days timeframe.

Most of this stuff is documented here, please post any questions you may 
have to the list:

thanks,
Mark
