Incanter 2.0 change log

API changes

Generally, most of the API changes relates to the fact, that Incanter is now based on clojure.core.matrix and therefore uses its behaviour in relation to matrices and datasets.

Matrix

  • It is possible to change current matrix implementation using (set-current-implementation) function. Please use Protocol/Implementation summary of available implementation for more details.

  • vectorz is used as a default matrix implementation, which does not depend on native libraries.

  • incanter.core/matrix called on seq will produce vector object instead of row-matrix.

    Example (using clatrix implementation):

    Incanter 1.5:

     => (matrix [1 2 3]) ;; clatrix.core.Matrix
 A 3x1 matrix
 -------------
  1.00e+00
  2.00e+00
  3.00e+00

    Incanter 2.0:

     => (matrix [1 2 3]) ;; clatrix.core.Vector
 (1.0 2.0 3.0)

  • Matrices are not treated as sequences anymore, so calling first, rest, map, reduce, filter, etc on matrices is not generally supported (although might still work on some implementations, e.g. clatrix).

  • vec? is introduced. It tests whether an argument is a clojure.core.matrix vector.

    Example:

     (vec? (matrix [1 2 3]))   ;; true
 (vec? (matrix [1 2 3](/incanter/incanter/wiki/1-2-3))) ;; false

  • API of the following functions is changes: decomp-cholesky, decomp-svd, decomp-eigenvalue, decomp-lu, decomp-qr. New API is described here

  • with-meta is not guaranteed to work on all matrix implementations.

Dataset

  • clojure.core.matrix column-based implementation of dataset is used now.

  • incanter.core/dataset API is changed. Now it accepts column names and seq of rows, matrix, map of columns or seq of row maps as arguments.

  • Incrementing integers (.e.g 0, 1, 2, ...) are now used as default column names.

    Example:

    Incanter 1.5

     => (to-dataset [1 2 3] [4 5 6](/incanter/incanter/wiki/1-2-3]-[4-5-6))

 | :col-0 | :col-1 | :col-2 |
 |--------+--------+--------|
 |      1 |      2 |      3 |
 |      4 |      5 |      6 |

    Incanter 2.0

     => (to-dataset [1 2 3] [4 5 6](/incanter/incanter/wiki/1-2-3]-[4-5-6))

 | 0 | 1 | 2 |
 |---+---+---|
 | 1 | 2 | 3 |
 | 4 | 5 | 6 |

  • Dataset is also a matrix now. Matrix functions work on datasets, (matrix? ds) will return true.

    Example:

     user=> (mult (to-dataset [1 2 3] [4 5 6](/incanter/incanter/wiki/1-2-3]-[4-5-6)) 3)
 [3 6 9] [12 15 18](/incanter/incanter/wiki/3-6-9]-[12-15-18)
 user=> (mult (to-dataset [1 2 3] [4 5 6](/incanter/incanter/wiki/1-2-3]-[4-5-6)) [9 9 9])
 [9 18 27] [36 45 54](/incanter/incanter/wiki/9-18-27]-[36-45-54)

  • incanter.core/sel does not support automatic cast between strings and keywords anymore.

  • 2 arguments version of incanter.core/col-names removed. Please use clojure.core.matrix.dataset/select-columns instead.
