The Apophenia Statistical C Library is an open source C library for
working with data sets and statistical models. It provides functions
on the same level as those of the typical stats packages (such as OLS,
probit, or singular value decomposition) but gives the user more
flexibility to be creative in model-building.

data sets, million-step simulations, or computationally-intensive
agent-based models.

in C, but experience has shown them to be easy to bind in Python,
Julia, Perl, Ruby, etc. The source code is distributed under the
