# rogues 1.0.1

## Python and Numpy port of Prof. Nicholas Higham's matlab test matrices

These matrices are a collection of interesting matrices that appear in
matlab's 'gallery' collection. This collection was originally defined
and implemented by Prof. Nicholas Higham of Manchester University and
is more fully discussed in "The Test Matrix Toolbox for Matlab
(Version 3.0)", N.J. Higham, Numerical Analysis Report No. 276,
September 1995 and available [here](http://www.ma.man.ac.uk/~higham/mctoolbox/toolbox.pdf) (Now appears to be a dead link)

The pdf of the 1991 TOMS (Algorithm 694) is available from ACM [here](https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=116805)

By 'interesting' we mean that these matrices either present some
challenges to numerical algorithms or have some a set of interesting
properties. The documentation of the individual functions contains
much more info, as well as references.

Also included are a set of matrix utility functions that are needed
for generating some of members of the collection as well as a few
functions from Prof. Higham’s matrixcomp package. One of the more
interesting routines here is mdsmax, a direct search optimization
algorithm.

The rogues package depends on numpy and scipy, both of which must be
installed. Additionally, there are a few routines that deal with
plotting, and these use matplotlib. While ipython is not strictly
necessary, it is a very convenient environment for numpy / scipy /
matplotlib. Finally, the unit tests now utilize pytest, and that
must be installed in your environment. Then just make certain you
are in the rogues top level directory and run pytest, ie

    cd rogues
    pytest
