Over the course of my research, I've developed a lot of coding tools. In general, I use as much python as possible. For computationally intensive processes, I generally use C, C++, and/or Fortran, taking advantage of open-source packages such as BLAS, LAPACK, and ARPACK.

On the sidebar are links to some of the code packages that I've made publicly available.

Coding

• DimReduce

A C++ package implementing a few linear and nonlinear dimensionality reduction techniques.

• LLE

Locally Linear Embedding. This offers a python wrapper (built with SWIG) to many of the routines in the (older) DimReduce code. I've stopped updating DimReduce in favor of this implementation.

• BallTree

A python extension written in C/C++ using numpy arrays to implement a Ball Tree neighbor search algorithm.
