Dart Data

Dart Data is a fast and space efficient library to deal with data in Dart, Flutter and the web. As of today this mostly includes data structures and algorithms for vectors and matrices, but at some point might also include graphs and other mathematical structures.

This library is open source, stable and well tested. Development happens on GitHub. Feel free to report issues or create a pull-request there. General questions are best asked on StackOverflow.

The package is hosted on dart packages. Up-to-date class documentation is created with every release.

Tutorial

Below are step-by-step instructions of how to use this library. More elaborate examples are included with the examples.

Installation

Follow the installation instructions on dart packages.

Import the core-package into your Dart code using:

import 'package:data/data.dart';

How to solve a linear equation?

Solve 'A * x = b', where 'A' is a matrix and 'b' a vector:

final a = Matrix<double>.fromRows(DataType.float64, [
  [2, 1, 1],
  [1, 3, 2],
  [1, 0, 0],
]);
final b = Vector<double>.fromList(DataType.float64, [4, 5, 6]);
final x = a.solve(b.columnMatrix).column(0);
print(x.format(valuePrinter: Printer.fixed()); // prints '6 15 -23'

How to find the eigenvalues of a matrix?

Find the eigenvalues of a matrix 'A':

final a = Matrix<double>.fromRows(DataType.float64, [
  [1, 0, 0, -1],
  [0, -1, 0, 0],
  [0, 0, 1, -1],
  [-1, 0, -1, 0],
]);
final decomposition = a.eigenvalue;
final eigenvalues = Vector<double>.fromList(
    DataType.float64, decomposition.realEigenvalues);
print(eigenvalues.format(valuePrinter: Printer.fixed(precision: 1))); // prints '-1.0 -1.0 1.0 2.0'

How to find all the roots of a polynomial?

To find the roots of x^5 + -8x^4 + -72x^3 + 242x^2 + 1847x + 2310:

final polynomial = Polynomial.fromCoefficients(DataType.int32, [1, -8, -72, 242, 1847, 2310]);
final roots = polynomial.roots;
print(roots.map((root) => root.real)); // [-5, -3, -2, 7, 11]
print(roots.map((root) => root.imaginary)); // [0, 0, 0, 0, 0]

How to do a polynomial regression?

To find the best fitting third degree polynomial through a list of points:

final height = [1.47, 1.50, 1.52, 1.55, 1.57, 1.60, 1.63, 1.65, 1.68, 1.70, 1.73, 1.75, 1.78, 1.80, 1.83].toVector();
final mass = [52.21, 53.12, 54.48, 55.84, 57.20, 58.57, 59.93, 61.29, 63.11, 64.47, 66.28, 68.10, 69.92, 72.19, 74.46].toVector();
final fitter = PolynomialRegression(degree: 2);
final result = fitter.fit(xs: height, ys: mass);
print(result.polynomial.format(valuePrinter: FixedNumberPrinter(precision: 3))); // 61.960x^2 + -143.162x + 128.813

How to numerically integrate a function?

In both examples we specify a custom depth, since these integrals are tricky at the upper bound (very steep for the first one, very flat for the second one).

// Compute the area of a circle by iterating over a quarter circle:
final pi = 4 * integrate((x) => sqrt(1 - x * x), 0, 1, depth: 30);
print(pi); // 3.1415925673846368 ~ pi

// Compute an improper integral:
final one = integrate((x) => exp(-x), 0, double.infinity, depth: 30);
print(one); // 1.0000000904304227 ~ 1
