I like math-*. And it is math only there. Or was last time i checked. it will be what R calls "R-base", and I would welcome no other scope there. all environment things are math. all ML things are math. quasi-newton, bayesian optimizers, linear search are all math. Stats are math. als, (d)ssvd, d(spca), (d)als are all math.
non-math are perhaps an app server like R shiny, if we ever get there, that definitely deserves a module. But other than that, what else we are talking here? renaming artifacts is confusing to hands-on people (me including). it is the reason why i lost my way in modern hadoop dependencies. i am good with all the "oneric ocelot" and the rest of fancy animal kingdom names On Sun, Mar 22, 2015 at 9:34 AM, Pat Ferrel <p...@occamsmachete.com> wrote: > The primary artifacts needed/created for the new scala stuff are math, > math-scala, spark, spark-shell, h2o > > Might it be better to rename math-scala to core-scala (or just core) since > it does now and will increasingly include non-math.
