Documentation and Code Conformance Tasks

Many of these will always be a required. Please focus on applying format standards and provide as many test cases as possible for your code.

Performance and accuracy testing.

If anyone is interested in helping out here, we could really use a wider selection of test cases for the core numerical functions and validation against either other packages (e.g. R for the statistical stuff), verified datasets, or experiments comparing implementions using floats to doubles.

Test Coverage.

Clover tests show some remaining gaps in test path coverage. Goal is to get all tests to 100% coverage. Also improve test data and boundary conditions coverage.

Code review.

Code review is a continuous process that all Contributors and Developers should practice while working on the code base.

• Verify that the code matches the documentation and identify inefficiencies or numerical problems. All feedback/suggestions for improvement/patches are welcome.

Delayed Tasks slated for the next release of the Math library

Statistics

• More inference methods
• Multiple regression

Linear Algebra

• More matrix decompositions (Cholesky, QR, SVD) and framework to support.
• Sparse matrices

Math
