Dataset package, inspired by numpy, based on incubating org.eclipse.dawnsci.analysis.dataset

Eclipse Datasets

What is this?

This is a library for handling Data in Java. It is inspired in part by NumPy and aims to provide similar functionality.

The Eclipse Dataset project is a fork of the Eclipse Dawnsci project that extracts Datasets and its associated Maths libraries.

Why use it?

• Familiar. Provide familiar functionality, especially to NumPy users.
• Robust. Has test suite and is used in production heavily at Diamond Light Source.
• No more passing double[]. IDataset provide a consistent object for basing APIs on with significantly improved clarity over using double arrays or similar.
• Optimized. Optimized for speed and getting better all the time.
• Scalable. Allows handling of data sets larger than available memory with "Lazy Datasets".
• Focus on your algorithms. By reusing this library it allows you to focus on your code.
