| [science-iwg] Implementation statistical methods |
|
Hi all, I would like to get some comments or advice regarding the implementation of some statistical procedures. We aim to implement some multiple comparison methods (post-hoc tests) such as Tukey's HSD, Tukey-Kramer or Fisher-Hayter test. Obviously, we would prefer not to rewrite the algorithms. These methods are not available in the Apache Commons Math library. Do you know of any Java statistics library with an applicable license which may contain these algorithms? I came across the extensive and highly interesting Cognitive Foundry library from Sandia Corporation, but although it is BSD licensed, there are some license terms which make us wonder whether we have to back off using it: "Copyright (c) 2009 Sandia Corporation. Under the terms of Contract DE-AC04-94AL85000 with Sandia Corporation, the U.S. Government retains certain rights in this software" https://github.com/algorithmfoundry/Foundry/blob/master/License.txt and under "Copyright history" https://github.com/algorithmfoundry/Foundry/blob/master/CopyrightHistory.txt "Under the terms of Contract DE-AC04-94AL85000, there is a non-exclusive license for use of this work by or on behalf of the U.S. Government. Export of this data may require a license from the United States Government." and "Any licensee of this software has the obligation and responsibility to abide by the applicable export control laws, regulations, and general prohibitions relating to the export of technical data. Failure to obtain an export control license or other authority from the Government may result in criminal liability under U.S. laws."
