Title: Tools for Tall Distributed Matrices
Version: 0.1-0
Description: Many data science problems reduce to operations on very
        tall, skinny matrices.  However, sometimes these matrices can
        be so tall that they are difficult to work with, or do not even
        fit into main memory.  One strategy to deal with such objects
        is to distribute their rows across several processors.  To this
        end, we offer an 'S4' class for tall, skinny, distributed
        matrices, called the 'shaq'.  We also provide many useful
        numerical methods and statistics operations for operating on
        these distributed objects.  The naming is a bit
        "tongue-in-cheek", with the class a play on the fact that
        'Shaquille' 'ONeal' ('Shaq') is very tall, and he starred in
        the film 'Kazaam'.
