Example repository #674
Description
In rust-ndarray/ndarray-linalg#166 @munckymagik advanced the idea of adding a new repository to rust-ndarray to host more complex standalone examples.
It could be a good place to showcase what is possible using the different pieces of the ecosystem, in a sort of cookbook format.
I love the idea and I think it could provide a lot of value. What are your thoughts?

Yes agree! Personally I'd also find a side-by-side example of numpy / scipy v helpful, furthering the existing docs there. Even without that, I think it's a great idea.

That sounds like a good idea to me. We do have a few examples in modules linked at the bottom of
ndarray_for_numpy_users, but they're pretty minimal and focus more onndarraythan the ecosystem as a whole. We should also review the files in theexamplesdirectory to see if we need to update/remove any of them.LukeMathWalker commentedon Jul 26, 2019

First sketch is out: https://github.com/rust-ndarray/ndarray-examples
I still need to add a CI pipeline (mirroring @termoshtt's work on
ndarray-linalg) - suggestions are welcome 👍P.S. The linear regression example is currently using a hard-coded
openblasfeature forndarray-linalg(even though the README says it's selectable). Still some work to do there to figure out how to actually make it selectable when running the example 👀LukeMathWalker commentedon Aug 5, 2019
Backend selection is now working as expected. Unfortunately, it seems we can't provide a top-level backend selection mechanism due to rust-lang/cargo#5015 - it has to be done in the
Cargo.tomlof each example. (Tracking issue for the feature request oncargo: rust-lang/cargo#4753)LukeMathWalker commentedon Sep 21, 2019
I have another PR up, with a simple implementation of K-Means clustering: rust-ndarray/ndarray-examples#2
