  Description     : open source C scientific library for statistical computing

The Apophenia Statistical Library is an open source C library for working
with data sets and statistical models. It provides functions on the same
level as those of the typical stats packages (such as OLS, probit, or
singular value decomposition) but gives the user more flexibility to be
creative in model-building.

Apophenia is written to scale well, to comfortably work with gigabyte
data sets, million-step simulations, or computationally-intensive
agent-based models.

Apophenia builds upon the GNU Scientific and SQLite libraries,
MySQL/mariaDB is also supported. The core functions are written in C,
but experience has shown them to be easy to bind in Python, Julia,
Perl, Ruby, etc. The source code is available under the GNU General
Public License version 2 (GPL2) with two modifications.
