What is libscythestat-dev
libscythestat-dev is:
Files provided by this package are required to develop new programs with the Scythe library. There is no binary library associated with these headers, i.e. all template code is contained within and no further dependencies are required at runtime
The Scythe Statistical Library is an open source C++ library for statistical computation. It includes a suite of matrix manipulation functions, a suite of pseudo-random number generators, and a suite of numerical optimizers. Programs written using Scythe are generally much faster than those written in commonly used interpreted languages, such as R, Matlab, and GAUSS; and can be compiled on any system with the GNU GCC compiler (and perhaps with other C++ compilers). One of the primary design goals of the Scythe developers has been ease of use for non-expert C++ programmers. Ease of use is provided through three primary mechanisms: (1) operator and function over-loading, (2) numerous pre-fabricated utility functions, and (3) clear documentation and example programs. Additionally, Scythe is quite flexible and entirely extensible because the source code is available to all users.
