Great list ! At the moment, there is only Kolmogorov-Smirnov test implemented.

I am not sure when this tests has to be applied.

Can you create issues in the SciSmalltalk issue tracker in order to keep track of your needs ? The issue tracker is here: https://github.com/SergeStinckwich/SciSmalltalk/issues

Done!

You can also join the SciSmalltalk mailing-list: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/scismalltalk

Hi Stef,

For bioinformatics research it would be **really** nice to have:

- Tree creation algorithms: UPGMA, WPGMA. - MCMC methods: Metropolis-adjusted Langevin algorithm (MALA and SMMALA), Metropolis-coupled MCMC (MC3) would enable Bayesian inferences and to work with evolution of genes. I cannot tell how important is to have such algorithms implemented in Smalltalk. - Mahalanobis distance for analyzing bacterial plasmids. - Random Forest is used a lot for gene expression, protein-protein interaction predictions, genome-wide association studies, etc . For the argument "let's use FFI for it" please remember many of these methods are extended, like enriched random forest, for research with specialized data.

Can you add enhancement issues in the SciSmalltalk issue tracker : https://github.com/SergeStinckwich/SciSmalltalk/issues in order to keep them in mind ? We are trying to create a pure Smalltalk library, so we try to avoid FFI as much as possible :-)

There are implementations of naive Bayes classifier in NaturalSmalltalk (which could be adapted to SciPharo) http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~hernan/NaturalSmalltalk

Great, if we can move them to SciSmalltalk.

As a side note I found an interesting history report of SciPy. From the slide 9 onwards:

http://sssslide.com/www.slideshare.net/shoheihido/sci-pyhistory

Presentation shows SciPy history (credited contributors with pictures, very nice!). As you can se they even have a Foundation NumFOCUS for raising money.

For sure, money always help ;-) The only problem at the moment is that the Pharo community is much smaller at the moment than the Python one. Thank you for your help. -- Serge Stinckwich UCBN & UMI UMMISCO 209 (IRD/UPMC) Every DSL ends up being Smalltalk http://www.doesnotunderstand.org/

Hi,

That's a very good idea. For now, I use a Pharo-R binding to make the statistics, but it is better if it is directly in the image.

For my part, it should be nice to have: - Principal Component Analysis - Time series

I already a very simple time series class. What kind of operations you want to do on time series ?

- Correlation with several variables (Correlation matrix) + significance tests (pearson, spearman...) - Standard statistical tests: normality, variance, mean, distribution - And the more important is to have nice tools to visualize the data (Box plot, histogram, scatterplots, PCA ones) with a simple API for standard things but that we can customize. The best is that we are able to draw regression lines on them. But I think that is more a Roassal part.

You have to ask Alex to the viz :-) Please join the SciSmalltalk ml in order to express your needs ;-) -- Serge Stinckwich UCBN & UMI UMMISCO 209 (IRD/UPMC) Every DSL ends up being Smalltalk http://www.doesnotunderstand.org/

For now, I am not using time series. But one year ago, I was using Holt Winters and Seasonal Decomposition (HoltWinters and stl functions under R). And it is possible that I reuse them in a close future.

I have no idea what is it :-) Can you add some issues regarding your needs in the SciSmalltalk issue tracker here: https://github.com/SergeStinckwich/SciSmalltalk/issues Alex already add some issues as enhancement. -- Serge Stinckwich UCBN & UMI UMMISCO 209 (IRD/UPMC) Every DSL ends up being Smalltalk http://www.doesnotunderstand.org/

Hi Alex, This binding allows to execute (almost) any function provided by R via Native Calls. You can find some documentation here: http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~VincentBlondeau/RProjectConnector I just released a new stable version, you should be able to load it from the catalog (Pharo40 only). However, you must install R and copy the libraries in the VM folder (see doc). And it is working only with pre-spur images (the migration to FFI has to be done). Try to run the tests (in RConnector package). Iff they are green, you succeeded to configure the binding. And you can plot the famous Iris Data: iris := 'eval' asREval: { RObject findVar: 'iris' }. 'plot' asREval: {(iris at: 'Petal.Length'). (iris at: 'Petal.Width'). (#pch -> 21). (#xlab -> 'length'). (#ylab -> 'Width'). (#bg ->((iris at: 'Species') collect: [ :value | {'red'. 'green3'. 'blue'} at: value ])). (#main -> 'Edgar Anderson''s Iris Data')}. plot(iris$Petal.Length, iris$Petal.Width, pch=21, bg=c("red","green3","blue")[unclass(iris$Species)], main="Edgar Anderson's Iris Data") is the genuine R function. And inspect them: iris inspect You can use any collection of pharo and put it as argument, it should do the boxing automatically. Warning: while testing new functions, don’t forget to save because evaluation of a non-existing R function throws a error that is not caught and makes Pharo crashing.

Didier would like to help Pharo and the numerical part of it. ***Big thanks*** Didier. We would like to do several things: - Work on "Hows to" The numerical methods in Pharo is good but the gap between us and the math is too large :) so the idea is to have a series of "how to ..." - histomgram (simple, based on distribution) - Improve the SciPharo/NumPha (previously SciSmalltalk) library This morning we started to implement a ComponentPrincipalDecomposition by combining two of the objects available in SciPharo. Then we started to enhance the distributions to make sure that we can plug other distribution for having controlled random number. - Do a public call to know what is missing for you: this is this mail :) Didier would like to work on concrete cases. I love that attitude So tell us :) Hernan ?? Alex: ?? pvalue? better distribution? Vincent: covariance? CPA? Philippe: times series Serge R frames? Sami: Better random number and various distributions? - Organise a two day lectures with practices on concrete case in September with a recording session. Either at IRD Bondy or Lille. - Make sure that the Numerical Method book will get on lulu :) with a better cover and title :) Stef !!!************************************************************************************* "Ce message et les pièces jointes sont confidentiels et réservés à l'usage exclusif de ses destinataires.
