  Description     : Yet more Objects for Data Analysis

YODA is a small set of data analysis (specifically histogramming)
classes being developed by MCnet members as a lightweight common
system for MC event generator validation analyses.

A few key features of YODA are as follows:

Storage of all information needed for statistically correct run
combination and reweighting up to second-order correlations
(e.g. variances, std devs, etc.) not just in the number of entries in
a bin, but also the correlations of that with the x and y fill values.

Separation of statistics and data handling from presentation. YODA is
primarily a library for doing the data part correctly: while we love
really high quality data presentation, that's a separate goal.

A sensible class hierarchy for histogramming, recognising that a
histogram contains details of fill history beyond the pure visual
height of a bin, and that just counting weights, or binning arbitrary
types on an axis are valuable operations.

Flexible data format support, including a new text-based, compact, and
human-readable YODA format.

Proper and convenience treatment of "details" like irregular bin
widths, gaps in contiguous binning, and
overflows/underflows/etc. (incuding how they impact normalisation and
calculation of histo-wide stat quantities) Carefully designed
programming interfaces in C++ and Python.

Hi,

A long time ago, you expressed interest in packaging yoda. Unfortunately,
it seems that it did not happen. In Debian, we try not to keep ITP bugs open
for a too long time, as it might cause other prospective maintainers to
refrain from packaging the software.

This is an automatic email to change the status of yoda back from ITP
(Intent to Package) to RFP (Request for Package), because this bug hasn't seen
any activity during the last 12 months.

If you are still interested in packaging yoda, please send a mail to
<control@bugs.debian.org> with:

It is also a good idea to document your progress on this ITP from time to
time, by mailing <707034@bugs.debian.org>.  If you need guidance on how to
package this software, please reply to this email, and/or contact the
debian-mentors@lists.debian.org mailing list.

Thank you for your interest in Debian,
