Apache Commons Math 4.0-beta1 RELEASE NOTES
The Apache Commons Math team is pleased to announce the release of commons-math4-parent-4.0-beta1
The Apache Commons Math project is a library of lightweight mathematics
and statistics components addressing common practical problems.
This is a major release that requires source changes in applications.
Lower-level functionality has been split off to new components, often
with bug-fixes, performance enhancements and improved API:
Commons RNG,
Commons Numbers,
Commons Geometry,
Commons Statistics.
Functionality still within Commons Math has been modularized and
partly refactored.
This is a work-in-progress (help welcome).
Codes for which the refactoring has not been undertaken (or was
deemed incomplete) have been moved to 'legacy' modules.
The minimum version of the Java platform required to compile and use
Commons Math is Java 8.
Users are encouraged to upgrade to this version, and to the new
components listed above (they are now Commons Math's dependencies).
For code now located in the 'commons-math-legacy' module, upgrading
will be a matter of changing the top-level package name:
From 'org.apache.commons.math3' to 'org.apache.commons.math4.legacy'.
Code in the 'commons-math-legacy-core' module comprise classes that
moved from package 'org.apache.commons.math3' and package
'org.apache.commons.math3.util' (e.g. 'MathArrays') to package
'org.apache.commons.math4.legacy.core'.
Notes:
Class 'FastMath' was renamed 'AccurateMath' (now located in package
'org.apache.commons.math4.legacy.core.jdkmath').
Caveat:
Although hundreds of issues have been fixed (see 'git log' and the
reports in the bug-tracking system of all the listed components),
many remain due to the lack of human resources necessary in order
to support the whole codebase (it was one of the main reasons for
creating more focused components).
Changes in this version include:
New features:
o MATH-1648: "BicubicInterpolator": Provide partial derivatives of interpolating functions. Thanks to Alessandro Moscatelli.
o MATH-1371: Add "ElkanKMeansPlusPlusClusterer" clustering algorithm. Thanks to Artem Barger.
o MATH-1622: Update class "SimplexOptimizer" (in package "o.a.c.m.legacy.optim.nonlinear.scalar.noderiv")
to support simulated annealing.
o MATH-1551: "Percentile": Partial support for weighted data. Thanks to Allen Yu.
o MATH-1529: "AkimaSplineInterpolator": Option to use alternative weights.
o MATH-1509: Add "MiniBatchKMeansClusterer" clustering algorithm. Thanks to Chen Tao.
o MATH-1519: Add "Calinski-Harabsz" clustering evaluator. Thanks to Chen Tao.
o MATH-1516: Interface for ranking a list of clusters.

o MATH-1336: New 64-bits RNG implementations. On 64-bits systems, they are ~35% faster than
"java.util.Random" for generating "long" or "double" values. They also guarantee
much better randomness than "Random" (cf. MATH-1327).
o MATH-1335: Refactoring of uniform random number generator functionality: new API
implemented in package "o.a.c.m.rng".
o MATH-1337: Adaptor class from new API ("o.a.c.m.rng.RandomSource") to old API

o MATH-1158: New interface for sampling from distribution (package "o.a.c.m.distribution").
o MATH-1351: New sampler API for "MultivariateRealDistribution".
o MATH-1348: Adaptor for using one of the new RNG implementations where an instance of
"java.util.Random" is required.
o MATH-1295: "FactorialLog": Cache-based computation of the "log factorial" function (implemented
as an inner class of "CombinatoricsUtils" in package "o.a.c.m.util"). Thanks to Aleksei Dievskii.
o MATH-1271: Added divideUnsigned and remainderUnsigned to ArithmeticUtils. Thanks to Qualtagh.
o Added a fast implementation of IEEEremainder in FastMath.

to IntegerDistribution interface. The implementations have already been
updated in release 3.3. Thanks to Aleksei Dievskii.

o MATH-1617: Class "BigReal": Fix equality check. Thanks to Ng Tsz Sum.
o MATH-1613: Decrease maximum number of iterations in "SimpsonIntegrator" and
"TrapezoidIntegrator" (due to the available range of the internal
counter of function evaluations).

o MATH-1555: "Atan2": Documentation issue. Thanks to Laurent Galluccio.
o MATH-1549: "SimplexTableau": Internally "scale down" the problem definition when the
constraints are defined with large numbers, in order to avoid spurious
exceptions caused by floating-point accuracy errors. Thanks to Mohammad Rezaei.
o MATH-1548: Avoid inefficiencies in computing the standard quality measures of a SOFM.
o MATH-1537: Clean-up (typos and unused "import" statements). Thanks to Jin Xu.
o MATH-1531: "EmpiricalDistribution": Workaround to avoid spurious exception.
o MATH-1511: Issue in site generation and developers documentation.

to the random data provider. Thanks to Rostislav Krasny.
o MATH-1231: Lifted unnecessary restriction on constructor's argument of

the reflection formula for negative arguments). Thanks to Eric Prescott-Gagnon.
o MATH-1305: "AbstractRandomGenerator" and "BitsStreamGenerator": Slight performance
improvement of the "nextBytes" method (particularly when the number of
requested bytes is a multiple of 4). Thanks to Rostislav Krasny.
o MATH-853: "MathRuntimeException" is now the base class for all commons-math
exceptions (except for "NullArgumentException" which extends
"NullPointerException").
o MATH-1205: The abstract class "AbstractStorelessUnivariateStatistic" does not
extend anymore from "AbstractUnivariateStatistic".
o MATH-1205: Default implementation of
"AbstractStorelessUnivariateStatistic#equals(Object)"
will only return true if both instances have the same type. Previously
different statistics were considered to be equal if their current state
happened to be equal.
o MATH-1205: Default implementations of "AbstractStorelessUnivariateStatistic#evaluate(...)"
do not alter the internal state anymore. Instead a temporary copy of
the statistic is created for evaluation purposes.
o MATH-1206: Added new API methods in "LeastSquaresProblem.Evaluation" (package
"o.a.c.m.fitting.leastsquares").
o MATH-1210: "QRDecomposition": include information about the condition that
triggers a "SingularMatrixException".
o MATH-757: Removed broken synchronization support in "ResizableDoubleArray".
o MATH-869: "SpearmansCorrelation" will now throw an "MathIllegalArgumentException"
if provided with a "NaturalRanking" instance that uses "REMOVED" as "NaNStrategy".
o MATH-869: "NullArgumentException" extends now "java.lang.NullPointerException"
instead of "MathIllegalArgumentException".
o MATH-839: Renamed "cumulativeProbability(double, double)" to "probability(double, double)"
in "IntegerDistribution" and "RealDistribution". Thanks to Gilles Sadowski.
o MATH-1155: WELL type pseudo-random number generators have been refactored:
the cached indirection index tables per instance are now stored
in a static instance. This reduces the initialization cost when
creating a new instance.
o MATH-825: Method "LaguerreSolver#laguerre(...)" has been made private. Thanks to Gilles Sadowski.
o MATH-760: Field "windowSize" in "DescriptiveStatistics" has been made private. Thanks to sebb.
Removed:
o MATH-1205: Removed methods "test(...)" from "AbstractUnivariateStatistic".
The already existing methods "MathArrays#verifyValues(...)" shall
be used instead.
o MATH-1050: Removed "ArithmeticUtils#pow(int, long)" and "ArithmeticUtils#pow(long, long)".
