Re: [Haskell-cafe] Uncertainty analysis library?

by the way, the link to the patch-tag repo for your intervals lib seems to be dead / patch-tag gets confused, is it that the link is outdated or that there are problems on patch-tag? -Carter On Mon, Mar 21, 2011 at 4:57 PM, Edward Kmett wrote:

So I'm feeling a bit elated that I've sparked my first theoretical discussion in cafe, though I don't have much to contribute. :\

However in the interests of the original question, I guess I should clarify.

What we do in our physics class seems to be what is being called "interval analysis" in this discussion. We have experimental values with absolute uncertainties, and we need to propagate those uncertainties in a deterministic way through formulas. I don't think my professor would take kindly to a random sampling approach.

The intervals library seemed a bit like what I'm looking for, except that it appears to be broken for the later ghc 6 versions and ghc 7.

The package should build fine, but hackage was flipping out because I commented out a pattern guard, and it looked like a misplaced haddock comment.

I've pushed a new version of intervals to mollify hackage.

It (or the old version) should cabal install just fine.
