there is also this:

http://akabe.github.io/slap/

which implements matrices whose dimensions are encoded in the type.

fwiw, for special functions one can interface to c libraries relatively
easily using ctypes. e.g. Rmath has a lot.

hdf5 support has just arrived,
https://opam.ocaml.org/packages/hdf5/hdf5.0.1/


i too would absolutely love to have something like numpy and something
like pandas in ocaml. the features i would want from ocaml-numpy are a
nice compact array slicing syntax, something like broadcasting, indexing
of arrays with int arrays or lists, and some magic that knows how to
choose the appropriate BLAS routines for common matrix operations. for a
pandas equivalent, flexible indexing would be the most important thing.
and printing a nice readable short output on screen with minimal effort.
