The Java Matrix Package (JAMA) provides a variety of matrix
operations useful for these analyses. For details see:
http://math.nist.gov/javanumerics/jama/
VisAD provides a way to apply JAMA operations to VisAD Data
objects via its visad.matrix package (this requires that you
install JAMA, of course), as well as support for Fourier
transform and histogram operations via the visad.math package.
These operations are also accessible from Python. See:
http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/~tomw/visadtutor/matrix.html
for a list (and see Tom's Python tutorial for more general
information. The visad/python/matrix_test.py program is an
example of a simple matrix solution using JAMA.
Cheers,
Bill
