CERNLIB je balík nástrojov a knižníc na analýzu dát vytvorených na fyzikálne experimenty, ale s aplikáciami aj v iných disciplínach ako biologické vedy.

PAW (Physics Analysis Workstation) je interaktívny program poskytujúci interaktívnu grafickú prezentáciu a štatistické a matematické analytické nástroje. Je navrhnutý tak, aby fungoval na objektoch známych fyzikom ako sú histogramy, súbory udalostí (n-tice), vektory atď.

Program je voči knižniciam CERNu na 64-bitových architektúrach linkovaný staticky aby fungoval správne, pretože jeho návrh príliš nezohľadňuje 64-bitové systémy.

Tento balík obsahuje Paw++, interaktívny program na analýzu a grafickú prezentáciu. Paw++ je rovnaký program ako PAW (v balíku „paw“), ale s používateľsky prívetivejším rozhraním založeným na Motif, v Debiane skompilovaný voči Lesstif.

Aby program fungoval, na 64-bitových architektúrach je staticky linkovaný voči knižniciam CERN, pretože jeho návrh nie je veľmi čistý s ohľadom na 64-bitov.

R is a system for statistical computation and graphics. It consists of a language plus a run-time environment with graphics, a debugger, access to certain system functions, and the ability to run programs stored in script files.

The design of R has been heavily influenced by two existing languages: Becker, Chambers & Wilks' S and Sussman's Scheme. Whereas the resulting language is very similar in appearance to S, the underlying implementation and semantics are derived from Scheme.

The core of R is an interpreted computer language which allows branching and looping as well as modular programming using functions. Most of the user-visible functions in R are written in R. It is possible for the user to interface to procedures written in the C, C++, or FORTRAN languages for efficiency, and many of R's core functions do so. The R distribution contains functionality for a large number of statistical procedures and underlying applied math computations. There is also a large set of functions which provide a flexible graphical environment for creating various kinds of data presentations.

Additionally, several thousand extension "packages" are available from CRAN, the Comprehensive R Archive Network, many also as Debian packages, named 'r-cran-'.

This package is a metapackage which eases the transition from the pre-1.5.0 package setup with its larger r-base package. Once installed, it can be safely removed and apt-get will automatically upgrade its components during future upgrades. Providing this package gives a way to users to then only install r-base-core if they so desire.

The package is enhanced by the following packages: texmacs-bin

Multiple-tau correlation is computed on a logarithmic scale (less data points are computed) and is thus much faster than conventional correlation on a linear scale such as numpy.correlate

gate - wnpp
Geant4 Application for Emission Tomography
Responsible: Nicolas Spalinger
License: LGPL
Debian package not available

GATE incorporates the Geant4 libraries in a modular, versatile, and scripted simulation toolkit which is adapted to the field of nuclear medicine both in PET (Positron Emission Tomography) and SPECT (Single Photon Emission Computer Tomography). It allows the accurate description of time-dependent phenomena such as source or detector movement and source decay kinetics. The ability to synchronize all time-dependent components allows a coherent description of the acquisition process. It makes it possible to perform realistic simulations of data acquisitions in time.
