This is the Debian GNU/Linux r-cran-numderiv package of numDeriv. The numDeriv package provides GNU R with accurate numerical derivatives, and was written by Paul Gilbert and Ravi Varadhan. This package was created by Dirk Eddelbuettel . The sources were downloaded from the main CRAN site http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/ and are also available from all CRAN mirrors as e.g. http://cran.us.r-project.org/src/contrib/ The package was renamed from its upstream name 'numDeriv' to 'r-cran-numDeriv' to fit the pattern of CRAN (and non-CRAN) packages for R.

For reference, the upstream DESCRIPTION file is included below: Package: numDeriv Version: 2012.9-1 Title: Accurate Numerical Derivatives Description: This package provide methods for calculating (usually) accurate numerical first and second order derivatives. Accurate calculations are done using Richardson's extrapolation or, when applicable, a complex step derivative is available. A simple difference method is also provided. Simple difference is (usually) less accurate but is much quicker than Richardson's extrapolation and provides a useful cross-check. Methods are provided for real scalar and vector valued functions.
