Description
Swift computation of cumulants is of importance in a number of fields, including HEP. There have been a number of implementations in other programming languages, however they have proven to be slow and limited only to low-order cumulants, while e.g., application in QCD measurements may require computation up to eighth-order. This challenge has been overcome by introducing a series of Julia libraries: Cumulants.jl, CumulantsFeature.jl, and CumulantsUpdates.jl, which allow calculation of multidimensional cumulants of an arbitrary order. Moreover, the libraries offer supreme computational speed, outrunning the analogous implementation in R by up to 2 orders in magnitude.
