Function Documentation

double log_gamma_d ( double  x)

Computes the log of the gamma function, using the Lanczos approximation.

Numerical approximation of log-gamma

Definition at line 52 of file func.c.

double beta_d ( double  x,
double  y 
)

Computes the beta function.

Compute the Beta function.

Since this computeation relies on the gamma function, which explodes for large values, this is computed in log space using the numerically approximated log_gamma function, and the result is then exponentiated.

double mult_beta_d ( const double *const  x,
uint32_t  num_elts 
)

Computes the multinomial beta function.

Compute the multinomial Beta function.

Since this computeation relies on the gamma function, which explodes for large values, this is computed in log space using the numerically approximated log_gamma function, and the result is then exponentiated.

double log_beta_d ( double  x,
double  y 
)

Computes the log of the beta function.

Compute the log of the Beta function.

Note:
computed using the numerically approximated log_gamma function.

double log_mult_beta_d ( const double *const  x,
uint32_t  num_elts 
)

Computes the log of the multinomial beta function.
