Libraries

This page contains code for utility libraries that are used in the Bayesian Communication software. Below are the languages for which files are available.

Fortran
This site contains library routines used in the Bayesian Analysis, Computaion and Communication software. The library routines may be used in one of two ways.

If you have access to IMSL, the routines in jglib may be used directly. There is no need to access any of the other libraries.

If you do not have access to IMSL, or if you wish to write code that is independent of IMSL, the three other libraries are useful. imsllib contains dummy routines with the same calling sequence as IMSL routines. These routines utilize LAPACK fortran code, which is public domain. Instructions for obtaining LAPACK are in LAPACK. Since LAPACK does not fully duplicate IMSL, other supplementary fortran routines are required; these may be found in Otherlib.

imsllib


This library contains all of the files needed to replace the IMSL subroutines in jglib. The routines in this directory have the same calling structure as the corresponding IMSL routines. The routines use routines from LAPACK, otherlib, ranlib and cdflib. If you do not wish to download the routines individually then all of the routines are contained in the single file imsllib.f

jglib
This library contains the source code for all of the routines written by John Geweke and called by the programs in /models. For those who do not wish to download the files individually, all of the files are included in the file jglib.f . The routines in this library call routines from IMSL. If you do not have IMSL then conversion routines are available in the library /imsllib. To use the routines in imsllib you will need to download the files in Otherlib and LAPACK as well. More informati on is provided in those libraries. A manual containing a summary of the subroutines and functions contained in JGLIB is found in the file jgmanual.pdf.

LAPACK
This page does not contain the source code for LAPACK. LAPACK can be downloaded from the following WWW sites:

You need the double precision LAPACK routines. A set of BLAS routines also comes with LAPACK. There are a number of routines in the set of BLAS routines found in IMSL that are not found in the set of BLAS routines obtained via LAPACK. The missing routines can be found either in jglib or Otherlib. They should be deleted if you already have them.

Otherlib

This library contains routines that are called by routines in imsllib. In particular this library contains ranlib.f and cdflib.f. These two files contain the random number library and the cdf function library. The rest of the files are the routines that could not be found in LAPACK. The file Otherlib.f contains all of the source code from this library except for ranlib.f and cdflib.f. Note: Users should download at least three files from this library.

C
C version of Bayesian Analysis, Computation and Communication software uses CLAPACK, dcdflib.c and ranlib.c library routines. They can be downloaded from the following web sites:
  • CLAPACK: http://www.netlib.org/clapack
  • dcdflib.c : ftp://odin.mda.uth.tmc.edu/pub/source/dcdflib.c-1.0.tar.Z
  • ranlib.c : http://lib.stat.cmu.edu/general/Utexas/ranlibc.uuen
