A heterogeneous +associative array has been added to allow users to create and operate +on arbitrary data structures. + +Rlab offers simple access to the most popular linear algebra +libraries, BLAS, and LAPACK. Furthermore, Rlab's basic data structures +are matrix oriented, with the vector dot-product an integral part of +the built-in operations. Due to the array oriented operations, and +the high-level interface to FFTPACK, and a discrete IIR filtering +function, Rlab servers well as an environment for signal analysis and +exploration. + +Rlab is copyrighted with the GNU General Public License, and is free +(in the GNU sense) for all to use. |
