[SciPy-user] Numerical Recipes robust fit implementation

[Angus McMorland]

Hi all,

I'm in need of a robust linear-fit algorithm- Numerical Recipes (in C)
medfit routine will do nicely. I've had a quick look and don't see any
similar routines in scipy. Is there one I'm missing?

If not, I'd lke to implement the NR routine for use with my
numpy-arrayed data. What are my options? Obviously I could translate
the routine into python, but I realise a potentially easier
alternative is to interface the existing NR C code. Having never done
that before, can someone give me some pointers/tips on how to start -
there's quite a range of linking tools listed on
http://www.scipy.org/Topical_Software.

Thanks,

Angus.
