Description

Methods for robustly fitting a K-dimensional simplex in M dimensions.

To get started

The current interface from R is very ad hoc; it dumps all data to file(s), calls 'cfit' with the correct parameters via pipe() (see connections) and parses the output files from 'cfit'. Ideally, we would link the cfit code to R via .Call() (see Foreign), but that is for the future. The current solutions has been verified to work on Windows XP, Linux and OSX.

License

The releases of this package is licensed under LGPL version 2.1 or newer.

The development code of the packages is under a private licence (where applicable) and patches sent to the author fall under the latter license, but will be, if incorporated, released under the "release" license above.

The algorithm and its C source code implementation is work of Pratyaksha Wirapati. The R wrapper is work of Henrik Bengtsson.
