JDistlib 0.10.2 · R 4.6.1 comparison

Measure the answer before measuring the speed.

The 0.10.2 release extends the numerical audit from the core R families to contributed distributions, copulas, compound counts, inference, solvers, linear algebra, accelerators, and random engines.

Frozen evidence

Accuracy compared with R and independent references

30,710 scalar values

Thirty-six distribution families were checked for density, CDF, quantile, tails, log probabilities and boundaries. Disagreements were adjudicated with 80-digit arithmetic and independent inversion identities.

Scalar results →

10,905 joint-law values

Copula, multivariate, finance and compound-count references use R packages, base-R constructions and analytic checks. Unreliable R regions are identified rather than copied.

Joint and finance results →

2,076 utility references

Density estimation, bandwidths, moments, normality tests, multiple testing, splines and optimization are checked against R and independent mathematical identities.

Math results →

Inference and engines

Posterior diagnostics, PSIS, solvers, scaled decompositions, provider paths, WELL44497b and CMWC4096 have frozen fixtures and state-transition tests.

Inference and RNG results →

These are reproducible, workload-specific measurements. Corrected Gaussian density was slightly slower, Student-t copula CDF remained slower than R, and some scalar routines remain slower than vectorized R. The audit reports retain those results and their limitations.

Independent method sources

The audit checks both answers and provenance

What the audit does not claim

Higher-dimensional quadrature, fixed-grid Fourier finance paths, every specialized sampler, all accelerator operations, and every extreme parameter regime were not exhaustively certified. CUDA tests were skipped on the audit host. Read the detailed scope and reproduction commands before generalizing a result.
