To facilitate the writing of the draft, we have adopted the outline below. Writing assignments for sections under that outline have been accepted by members of the DCSA group. Review of this draft will form the main part of the DCSA meeting at the March LSC Meeting. DCSA members are urged to retrieve, review and be prepared to comment on the draft at the March LSC meeting. Introduction Algorithms for implementing tests Each subsection describes an algorithm that implements a statistical test referenced from above.
Algorithms are thus divorced from tests and can be changed without changing the test.
Implementation of algorithms is described in terms of LDAS primitives, which are described in a different section. Each subsection also describes a validation suite for the algorithm. Implementation of each primitive is documented. Implementation of primitives is divorced from the algorithms they are built from. An implementation of a primitive can thus be changed without changing any algorithms.
