## Why C?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Because it is fast
|
||
|
|
- Because it can be made faster if need be, e.g., with a multi-threading library like OpenMP
|
||
|
|
- Because if you can implement something in C, you can implement it anywhere else
|
||
|
|
- Because it will last long
|
||
|
|
- Because the language is honest
|
||
|
|
- Because I enjoy it
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## To do list
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- [ ] Have some more complicated & realistic example
|
||
|
|
- [ ] Add summarization functions, like mean, std, 90% ci (or all c.i.?)
|
||
|
|
- [ ] Add README
|
||
|
|
- Schema: a function which takes a sample and manipulates it,
|
||
|
|
- and at the end, an array of samples.
|
||
|
|
- Explain boxes
|
||
|
|
- Explain individual examples
|
||
|
|
- Explain nested functions
|
||
|
|
- [ ] Publish online
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Done
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- [x] Add example for only one sample
|
||
|
|
- [x] Add example for many samples
|
||
|
|
- ~~[ ] Add a custom preprocessor to allow simple nested functions that don't rely on local scope?~~
|
||
|
|
- [x] Use gcc extension to define functions nested inside main.
|
||
|
|
- [x] Chain various mixture functions
|
||
|
|
- [x] Add beta distribution
|
||
|
|
- See <https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/502146/how-does-numpy-generate-samples-from-a-beta-distribution> for a faster method.
|
||
|
|
- ~~[-] Use OpenMP for acceleration~~
|
||
|
|
- [x] Add function to get sample when given a cdf
|
||
|
|
- [x] Don't have a single header file.
|
||
|
|
- [x] Structure project a bit better
