Documentation

Documentation of TOL is still poor, sparse and disperse, and it is almost all written in spanish, but we are working to enhance this situation. Any help will be welcome.

You can find in this page a technical description of TOL. Here is the SVN entry point for all shared documentation that you can browse to download interesting items.

In [TolUserGuide User Guide] ([TolGuiaUsuario Guía del usuario]) you can find all functions of trunk version of TOL

Kernel

• Object Oriented Programming
• Fixed Size Memory: ​Spanish programmer guide

Time algebra

Time algebra gives the name to TOL due to it was the first tarjet and it's already the most original and distinctive feature of TOL

• Discrete Time Algebra: ​Spanish TD.Diseño.pdf

Massive data handling

• Database: TOL can handle with all database engines having an ODBC interface, ie, with all the important ones. Afterwords, it has optimiced interfaces with MySQL and PostgreSQL engines.
• Object Indexed Serialization: OIS spanish doc

Interface

TOL has various interfaces to interactuate with users:

• tol : the pure console callable executable
• tolsh : a console callable with access to TCL script features
• tolbase : a TCL graphic interface
• vbtol : Visual Basic interface

Math

In an statistical software is very important to have access to the more efficient and robust implementations of mathematical algorithms. TOL has bet on some of the more recognized packages by open source community

• ​BLAS : Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms
• ​LAPACK: Linear Algebra PACKage
• ​ATLAS: Automatically Tuned Linear Algebra Software
• ​CHOLMOD: Sparse Cholesky factorization and update/downdate
• ​GSL: GNU Scientific Library
• ​CLUSTERLIB: The C clustering library for cDNA microarray data
• ​KMLOCAL: Efficient Algorithms for K-Means Clustering
• ​DCDFLIB: Evaluating cumulative probability density functions
• ​ALGLIB: Efficient multilingual scientific software library
• ​optimal_bw: Fast O(N+M) Univariate Kernel Density Estimation with Optimal Bandwith

Linear algebra

• Virtual Matrix: spanish doc

Models

• ARIMA Max Likelihood:
  • ​Brief on Estimate function
  • ​Diseño de la implementación de la función Estimate, un estimador de modelos ARIMA con Función de Transferencia
  • ​Nota técnica sobre la implementación de la función Estimate
