TL;DR: In this article, a transformation description language (TDL) is proposed for specifying how data is to be manipulated in a data warehousing application. The TDL is comprised of a source for storing raw data, one or more transformation objects for processing the raw data according to predefined instructions, and a target for storing the processed data.
Abstract: A transformation description language (TDL) for specifying how data is to be manipulated in a data warehousing application. The TDL is comprised of a source for storing raw data, one or more transformation objects for processing the raw data according to predefined instructions, and a target for storing the processed data. A mapping is used for directing the data flow between the I/O ports corresponding to the source, the plurality of transformation objects, and the target. The mapping specifies the connectivity between the source, transformation, and target objects as well as the order of these connections. There are a number of different transformations which can be performed to manipulate the data. Some such transformations include: an aggregator transformation, an expression transformation, a filter transformation, a lookup transformation, a query transformation, a sequence transformation, a stored procedure transformation, and an update strategy transformation.
TL;DR: In this paper, the Wynn rho algorithm was compared to Salzer summation in numerical inversion of Laplace transform and only one nonlinear method was found to be superior.
Abstract: The sequence of Gaver functionals is useful in the numerical inversion of Laplace transforms. The convergence behavior of the sequence is logarithmic, therefore, an acceleration scheme is required. The accepted procedure utilizes Salzer summation, because in many cases the Gaver functionals have the asymptotic behavior @?"n(t) - @?"n(t) ~ An^-^2 as n -> ~ for fixed t. It seems that no other acceleration schemes have been investigated in this area. Surely, the popular nonlinear methods should be more effective. However, to our surprise, only one nonlinear method was superior to Salzer summation, namely the Wynn rho algorithm.
