PaCAL Changelog

What's new in PaCAL 1.5 Beta

Dec 4, 2012
  • beta version of arithmetic of dependent random variables (Bayesian network style)
  • parts not related to dependent variables are as stable as in previous releases, so it is safe to use 1.5beta as default

New in PaCAL 1.1 (Dec 4, 2012)

  • operations on two dependent random variables
  • joint distribution models: normal, copulas
  • joint distribution of two order statistics
  • PaCal now depends on sympy

New in PaCAL 1.0 (Dec 4, 2012)

  • order statistics
  • noncentral distributions: Chi^2, F, Beta and T
  • optimized routines for sum, average, max, min etc. of i.i.d. random variables
  • Extreme Value Distributions: Gumbel, Weibull, Frechet
  • better accuracy for Beta distribution
  • methods interp_error and interp_error_by_segment return estimates of
  • interpolation errors
  • a warning is issued when dependent RVs are used in operations
  • (use params.general.warn_on_dependent = False to suppress)
  • bug fixes
