There are also a couple of CM packages that would be worth porting to [Numbers] or their own component: * o.a.c.math4.analysis.integration * o.a.c.math4.analysis.interpolation * o.a.c.math4.analysis.solvers (with adaptation to the interfaces of Java 8 "function" package). As for the "o.a.c.math4.ml" package, it should be fairly easy to port it to its own component, as there are no dependencies towards other CM packages. It could be worth having a small component focused on classification. WDYT? Gilles > > Eric > > > > > On Mon, Mar 11, 2019 at 5:28 PM Bruno P.
