FCALGS is a collection of standalone tools implementing algorithms for Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) – a method of qualitative data analysis founded by Rudolf Wille (TU Darmstadt) in mid 80s. Our intention is to implement high-performance command-line tools for computing formal concepts, (frequent) itemsets, nonredundant bases, boolean matrix decompositions, and solving other problems related to the FCA.
All packages come with sources and static precompiled binaries for GNU/Linux and Microsoft Windows operating systems. Supported and tested hardware platforms include i686, x86_64, and sparc64. Each program is individually packaged and documented.
