Description : Java library of statistical and text data handling tools
The library contains:
- Implementations of pseudorandom number generators;
- BitVector and its implementations -- a high-performance but flexible set of
bit vector classes;
- A it.unimi.dsi.compression package containing codecs for several types of
encodings;
- ProgressLogger, a flexible logger with statistics marking the progress of
the classes that are used and that require hours of computation;
- ObjectParser, a class making it easy to specify complex objects on the
command line;
- MutableString, an alternative to the immutable Java String class;
- The I/O package, containing fast version of several classes existing in
java.io, many useful classes to read easily text data
(e.g., FileLinesCollection), bit streams, classes providing large-size memory
mapping such as ByteBufferInputStream, and OfflineIterable -- the easy & fast
way to store large sequences of objects on disk and iterate on them;
- The it.unimi.dsi.util package, containing pseudorandom number generators,
tries, immutable prefix maps, Bloom filters, a very comfortable Properties
class and more;
- The it.unimi.dsi.stat package, containing a lightweight class for computing
basic statistics and an arbitrary-precision implementation of the Jackknife
method;
- Lots of utility methods in Util;
- Big versions of I/O and utility classes in it.unimi.dsi.big.io and
it.unimi.dsi.big.util;
- The BulletParser, used to parse HTML and XML.
This package is needed as a predependency of igv, which the Debian med team
would like to package out of non-free. I am personnally aiming at this.
The package will be maintained in the Debian Java team.
