listoflist's Introduction

Overview

The LISTOFLIST package (depends on xarray) contains functions and methods for handling list-of-lists as array substitutes as well as conversions between the two data structures. The general API is that of XARRAY, but we have added a few convenience functions, as well.

This is part of the core suite of Common Lisp Statistics System (CLS) packages.
