## Rustframe: *A lightweight dataframe & math toolkit for Rust*
Rustframe provides intuitive dataframe, matrix, and series operations small-to-mid scale data analysis and manipulation.
Rustframe keeps things simple, safe, and readable. It is handy for quick numeric experiments and small analytical tasks, but it is **not** meant to compete with powerhouse crates like `polars` or `ndarray`.
### What it offers
- **Math that reads like math** - element‑wise `+`, `−`, `×`, `÷` on entire frames or scalars.
- **Broadcast & reduce** - sum, product, any/all across rows or columns without boilerplate.
- **Boolean masks made simple** - chain comparisons, combine with `&`/`|`, get a tidy `BoolMatrix` back.
- **Date‑centric row index** - business‑day ranges and calendar slicing built in.
- **Pure safe Rust** - 100 % safe, zero `unsafe`.
### Heads up
- **Not memory‑efficient (yet)** - footprint needs work.
- **Feature set still small** - expect missing pieces.
### On the horizon
- Optional GPU help (Vulkan or similar) for heavier workloads.
- Straightforward Python bindings using `pyo3`.

## Quick start
```rust
use chrono::NaiveDate;
use rustframe::{
frame::{Frame, RowIndex},
matrix::{BoolOps, Matrix, SeriesOps},
utils::{DateFreq, BDatesList},
};
let n_periods = 4;
// Four business days starting 2024‑01‑02
let dates: Vec =
BDatesList::from_n_periods("2024-01-02".to_string(), DateFreq::Daily, n_periods)
.unwrap()
.list().unwrap();
let col_names: Vec = vec!["a".to_string(), "b".to_string()];
let ma: Matrix =
Matrix::from_cols(vec![vec![1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0], vec![5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0]]);
let mb: Matrix =
Matrix::from_cols(vec![vec![4.0, 3.0, 2.0, 1.0], vec![8.0, 7.0, 6.0, 5.0]]);
let fa: Frame = Frame::new(
ma.clone(),
col_names.clone(),
Some(RowIndex::Date(dates.clone())),
);
let fb: Frame = Frame::new(mb, col_names, Some(RowIndex::Date(dates)));
// Math that reads like math
let result: Frame = &fa * &fb; // element‑wise multiply
let total: f64 = result.sum_vertical().iter().sum::();
assert_eq!(total, 184.0);
// broadcast & reduce
let result: Matrix = ma.clone() + 1.0; // add scalar
let result: Matrix = result + &ma - &ma; // add matrix
let result: Matrix = result - 1.0; // subtract scalar
let result: Matrix = result * 2.0; // multiply by scalar
let result: Matrix = result / 2.0; // divide by scalar
let check: bool = result.eq_elem(ma.clone()).all();
assert!(check);
// The above math can also be written as:
let check: bool = (&(&(&(&ma + 1.0) - 1.0) * 2.0) / 2.0)
.eq_elem(ma.clone())
.all();
assert!(check);
// The above math can also be written as:
let check: bool = ((((ma.clone() + 1.0) - 1.0) * 2.0) / 2.0)
.eq_elem(ma)
.all();
assert!(check);
```
