Sapaclisp

Introduction

Sapaclisp is the Common-Lisp code for the book "Spectral Analysis for Physical Applications: Multitaper and Conventional Univariate Techniques" (Cambridge University Press, 1993), by Donald B. Percival and Andrew T. Walden. The code is not only focused on spectral analysis, but contains many usefull numerical routines for a variety of purposes (linear systems, least squares, FFT, etc).

The code is now (as of 15.04.2005) under the BSD ("sans advertising clause") licence.

Mailing Lists

• sapaclisp-announce. A low volume, read only list for announcements.
• sapaclisp-devel. The list where everything else happens; This is the place to ask questions, submit patches, report bugs, etc.

Download

• Sapaclisp-1.0a, mostly the original files with a few very minor fixes + an ASDF system definition file.
• You can always check out the latest version with fixes, etc. from CVS with the following commands:

    cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous:anonymous@common-lisp.net:/project/sapaclisp/cvsroot co sapaclisp
    

  (If that fails, see here.)
• Sapaclisp-1.0 Original, unmodified files (1993). Works in modern Common Lisp implementations.

Installation

1. Download the source code and unpack it in the directory where you want to install it.
2. Make a symbolic link for in your central registry to the .asd file of Sapaclisp.
   

   ln -s /my/central/registry/sapaclisp.asd /path/of/code/sapaclisp.asd

3. Start your lisp implementation, and compile (and load) the code:
   

   (asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op 'sapaclisp)
