dsc 0.2.6.5

Implementation of Dynamic Statistical Comparisons

DSC2 is successor of the Dynamic Statistical Comparisons in R.

The project wiki is the main source of documentation for both developers and users of the DSC2 project. If you are new to the concept of DSC, it may worth reading this blog post to understand the motivation behind this project.

Change Log

Upcoming release

Goal for 0.2.7

• Add, by default, a variable DSC_DEBUG to output files that saves parameters used to generate the output.

• Enhance R() operator due to use of dscrutils package. This packages is now required to parse DSC file when R modules are involved.

• #92 paired parameter input convention.

• #90 and #93 use Rmd files as module executables.

• Revert to rpy2 implementation for mixed language data communication, but will involve rpy2 only on need basis.

• [minor] Various bug fixes.

0.2.x

0.2.6.5

• Bring back partial mixed languages support. Piplines with mixed R and Python code can communicate data of limited types (recursively support array, matrix, dataframe), via ``rpy2`` as in versions prior to 0.2.5.x. Support for additional languages will be implemented on need basis with HDF5 format #86.

0.2.6.4

• Add a dsc-io command to convert between python pickle and R RDS files – an internal command for data conversion and a test for rpy2 configuration.

0.2.6.3

• Inline module executable via language interpreters (eg. R(), Python()).

0.2.6.2

• [minor] Ignore leading . in file(): file(.txt) and file(txt) are equivalent.

• [minor] Disallow derivation of modules from ensemble.

• [minor] Various bug fixes.

0.2.6.1

• Internally replace RDS format with HDF5 format for Python routines. Pipeline with mixed languages is now officially broken at this point until the next major release that supports ``HDF5`` in R.

• SoS required version bumped to 0.9.12.7 for relevant upstream bug fixes for remote host computing.

• [minor] Various bug fixes.

0.2.6

• Bring back --host option; add a companion option --to-host to facilicate sending resources to remote computer.

• Add --truncate switch.

• SoS required version bumped to 0.9.12.3 for relevant upstream bug fixes.

• [minor] Improved command interface.

0.2.5.2

• SoS required version bumped to 0.9.12.2 for relevant upstream bug fixes.

0.2.5.1

• Change in seed behavior: since this release seed will no longer be a DSC2 keyword. Users are responsible to set seeds on their own.

• [minor] Allow for both lower case and capitalized operator names File/file, List/list, Dict/dict.

0.2.5

• New syntax release, compatible with SoS 0.9.12.1.

• Removed --host option due to upstream changes.

0.1.x

0.1.0

• First release, compatible with SoS 0.6.4.
