+<p>
+ "First be right, then be fast."
+ </p>
+<p>
+ There will always be potential compromises to be made between speed and accuracy.
+ It may be possible to find faster methods, particularly for certain limited
+ ranges of arguments, but for most applications of math functions and distributions,
+ we judge that speed is rarely as important as accuracy.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ So our priority is accuracy.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ To permit evaluation of accuracy of the special functions, production of
+ extremely accurate tables of test values has received considerable effort.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ (It also required much CPU effort - there was some danger of molten plastic
+ dripping from the bottom of JM's laptop, so instead, PAB's Dual-core desktop
+ was kept 50% busy for <span class="bold"><strong>days</strong></span> calculating some
+ tables of test values!)
+ </p>
+<p>
+ For a specific RealType, say float or double, it may be possible to find
+ approximations for some functions that are simpler and thus faster, but less
+ accurate (perhaps because there are no refining iterations, for example,
+ when calculating inverse functions).
+ </p>
+<p>
+ If these prove accurate enough to be "fit for his purpose", then
+ a user may substitute his custom specialization.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ For example, there are approximations dating back from times when computation
+ was a <span class="bold"><strong>lot</strong></span> more expensive:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ H Goldberg and H Levine, Approximate formulas for percentage points and normalisation
+ of t and chi squared, Ann. Math. Stat., 17(4), 216 - 225 (Dec 1946).
+ </p>
+<p>
+ A H Carter, Approximations to percentage points of the z-distribution, Biometrika
+ 34(2), 352 - 358 (Dec 1947).
+ </p>
+<p>
+ These could still provide sufficient accuracy for some speed-critical applications.
+ </p>

+<a name="id912184"></a>
+ <a class="link" href="implementation.html#math_toolkit.backgrounders.implementation.accuracy_and_representation_of_test_values">Accuracy
+ and Representation of Test Values</a>
+ </h5>
+<p>
+ In order to be accurate enough for as many as possible real types, constant
+ values are given to 50 decimal digits if available (though many sources proved
+ only accurate near to 64-bit double precision). Values are specified as long
+ double types by appending L, unless they are exactly representable, for example
+ integers, or binary fractions like 0.125. This avoids the risk of loss of
+ accuracy converting from double, the default type. Values are used after
+ static_cast<RealType>(1.2345L) to provide the appropriate RealType
+ for spot tests.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Functions that return constants values, like kurtosis for example, are written

+ </h5>
+<p>
+ Some functions and distributions are well defined with + or - infinity as
+ argument(s), but after some experiments with handling infinite arguments
+ as special cases, we concluded that it was generally more useful to forbid
+ this, and instead to return the result of <a class="link" href="../main_overview/error_handling.html#domain_error">domain_error</a>.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Handling infinity as special cases is additionally complicated because, unlike
+ built-in types on most - but not all - platforms, not all User-Defined Types
+ are specialized to provide <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">numeric_limits</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">RealType</span><span class="special">>::</span><span class="identifier">infinity</span><span class="special">()</span></code> and would return zero rather than any representation
+ of infinity.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The rationale is that non-finiteness may happen because of error or overflow
+ in the users code, and it will be more helpful for this to be diagnosed promptly
+ rather than just continuing. The code also became much more complicated,
+ more error-prone, much more work to test, and much less readable.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ However in a few cases, for example normal, where we felt it obvious, we
+ have permitted argument(s) to be infinity, provided infinity is implemented
+ for the realType on that implementation.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Users who require special handling of infinity (or other specific value)
+ can, of course, always intercept this before calling a distribution or function
+ and return their own choice of value, or other behavior. This will often
+ be simpler than trying to handle the aftermath of the error policy.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Overflow, underflow, denorm can be handled using <a class="link" href="../policy/pol_ref/error_handling_policies.html" title="Error Handling Policies">error

+ We have also tried to catch boundary cases where the mathematical specification

+<p>
+ Some of the special functions in this library are implemented via rational
+ approximations. These are either taken from the literature, or devised by
+ John Maddock using <a class="link" href="../toolkit/internals2/minimax.html" title="Minimax Approximations and the Remez Algorithm">our

+ </p>
+<p>
+ Rational rather than Polynomial approximations are used to ensure accuracy:
+ polynomial approximations are often wonderful up to a certain level of accuracy,
+ but then quite often fail to provide much greater accuracy no matter how
+ many more terms are added.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Our own approximations were devised either for added accuracy (to support
+ 128-bit long doubles for example), or because literature methods were unavailable
+ or under non-BSL compatible license. Our Remez code is known to produce good
+ agreement with literature results in fairly simple "toy" cases.
+ All approximations were checked for convergence and to ensure that they were
+ not ill-conditioned (the coefficients can give a theoretically good solution,
+ but the resulting rational function may be un-computable at fixed precision).
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Recomputing using different Remez implementations may well produce differing
+ coefficients: the problem is well known to be ill conditioned in general,
+ and our Remez implementation often found a broad and ill-defined minima for
+ many of these approximations (of course for simple "toy" examples
+ like approximating <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">exp</span></code> the
+ minima is well defined, and the coeffiecents should agree no matter whose
+ Remez implementation is used). This should not in general effect the validity
+ of the approximations: there's good literature supporting the idea that coefficients
+ can be "in error" without necessarily adversely effecting the result.
+ Note that "in error" has a special meaning in this context, see
+ <a href="http://front.math.ucdavis.edu/0101.5042" target="_top">"Approximate construction
+ of rational approximations and the effect of error autocorrection.",
+ Grigori Litvinov, eprint arXiv:math/0101042</a>. Therefore the coefficients
+ still need to be accurately calculated, even if they can be in error compared

+ </h5>
+<p>
+ A macro BOOST_DEFINE_MATH_CONSTANT in constants.hpp is used to provide high
+ accuracy constants to mathematical functions and distributions, since it
+ is important to provide values uniformly for both built-in float, double
+ and long double types, and for User Defined types like NTL::quad_float and
+ NTL::RR.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ To permit calculations in this Math ToolKit and its tests, (and elsewhere)
+ at about 100 decimal digits with NTL::RR type, it is obviously necessary
+ to define constants to this accuracy.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ However, some compilers do not accept decimal digits strings as long as this.
+ So the constant is split into two parts, with the 1st containing at least
+ long double precision, and the 2nd zero if not needed or known. The 3rd part
+ permits an exponent to be provided if necessary (use zero if none) - the
+ other two parameters may only contain decimal digits (and sign and decimal
+ point), and may NOT include an exponent like 1.234E99 (nor a trailing F or
+ L). The second digit string is only used if T is a User-Defined Type, when
+ the constant is converted to a long string literal and lexical_casted to
+ type T. (This is necessary because you can't use a numeric constant since
+ even a long double might not have enough digits).

+<p>
+ The primary source for the equations is now MathML:
+ see the *.mml files in libs/math/doc/sf_and_dist/equations/.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ These are most easily edited by a GUI editor such as Mathcast,
+ please note that the equation editor supplied with Open Office currently
+ mangles these files and should not currently be used.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Convertion to SVG was achieved using SVGMath
+ and a command line such as:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting">$for file in *.mml; do
+>/cygdrive/c/Python25/python.exe 'C:\download\open\SVGMath-0.3.1\math2svg.py' \
+>>$file > $(basename $file .mml).svg
+>done
+</pre>
+<p>
+ Note that SVGMath requires that the mml files are <span class="bold"><strong>not</strong></span>
+ wrapped in an XHTML XML wrapper - this is added by Mathcast by default -
+ one workaround is to copy an existing mml file and then edit it with Mathcast:
+ the existing format should then be preserved. This is a bug in the XML parser
+ used by SVGMath which the author is aware of.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ If neccessary the XHTML wrapper can be removed with:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting">cat filename | tr -d "\r\n" | sed -e 's/.*\(<math[^>]*>.*</math>\).*/\1/' > newfile</pre>
+<p>
+ Setting up fonts for SVGMath is currently rather tricky, on a Windows XP
+ system JM's font setup is the same as the sample config file provided with
+ SVGMath but with:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><!-- Double-struck -->
+ <mathvariant name="double-struck" family="Mathematica7, Lucida Sans Unicode"/>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ changed to:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><!-- Double-struck -->
+ <mathvariant name="double-struck" family="Lucida Sans Unicode"/>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ Note that unlike the sample config file supplied with SVGMath, this does
+ not make use of the Mathematica 7 font as this lacks sufficient Unicode information
+ for it to be used with either SVGMath or XEP "as is".
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Also note that the SVG files in the repository are almost certainly Windows-specific
+ since they reference various Windows Fonts.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ PNG files can be created from the SVG's using Batik
+ and a command such as:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting">java -jar 'C:\download\open\batik-1.7\batik-rasterizer.jar' -dpi 120 *.svg</pre>
+<p>
+ Or using Inkscape and a command such as:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting">for file in *.svg; do
+ /cygdrive/c/progra~1/Inkscape/inkscape -d 120 -e $(cygpath -a -w $(basename $file .svg).png) $(cygpath -a -w $file);
+done</pre>
+<p>
+ Currently Inkscape seems to generate the better looking png's.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The PDF is generated into \pdf\math.pdf using a command from a shell or command
+ window with current directory \math_toolkit\libs\math\doc\sf_and_dist, typically:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting">bjam -a pdf</pre>
+<p>
+ Note that XEP will have to be configured to <span class="bold"><strong>use and
+ embed</strong></span> whatever fonts are used by the SVG equations (if necessary
+ editing the sample xep.xml provided by the XEP installation).
+ </p>
+<p>
+ (html is generated at math_toolkit\libs\math\doc\sf_and_dist\html\index.html
+ using just bjam -a).

+<p>
+ <span class="emphasis"><em>Why base gamma and gamma-like functions on the Lanczos approximation?</em></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ First of all I should make clear that for the gamma function over real numbers
+ (as opposed to complex ones) the Lanczos approximation (See <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lanczos_approximation" target="_top">Wikipedia
+ or </a> Mathworld)
+ appears to offer no clear advantage over more traditional methods such as
+ <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stirling_approximation" target="_top">Stirling's
+ approximation</a>. <a class="link" href="lanczos.html#pugh">Pugh</a> carried out an extensive
+ comparison of the various methods available and discovered that they were
+ all very similar in terms of complexity and relative error. However, the
+ Lanczos approximation does have a couple of properties that make it worthy
+ of further consideration:
+ </p>
+<div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc">
+<li>
+ The approximation has an easy to compute truncation error that holds for
+ all <span class="emphasis"><em>z > 0</em></span>. In practice that means we can use the
+ same approximation for all <span class="emphasis"><em>z > 0</em></span>, and be certain
+ that no matter how large or small <span class="emphasis"><em>z</em></span> is, the truncation
+ error will <span class="emphasis"><em>at worst</em></span> be bounded by some finite value.
+ </li>
+<li>
+ The approximation has a form that is particularly amenable to analytic
+ manipulation, in particular ratios of gamma or gamma-like functions are
+ particularly easy to compute without resorting to logarithms.
+ </li>
+</ul></div>
+<p>
+ It is the combination of these two properties that make the approximation
+ attractive: Stirling's approximation is highly accurate for large z, and
+ has some of the same analytic properties as the Lanczos approximation, but
+ can't easily be used across the whole range of z.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ As the simplest example, consider the ratio of two gamma functions: one could
+ compute the result via lgamma:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">exp</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">lgamma</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">a</span><span class="special">)</span> <span class="special">-</span> <span class="identifier">lgamma</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">b</span><span class="special">));</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ However, even if lgamma is uniformly accurate to 0.5ulp, the worst case relative
+ error in the above can easily be shown to be:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">Erel</span> <span class="special">></span> <span class="identifier">a</span> <span class="special">*</span> <span class="identifier">log</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">a</span><span class="special">)/</span><span class="number">2</span> <span class="special">+</span> <span class="identifier">b</span> <span class="special">*</span> <span class="identifier">log</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">b</span><span class="special">)/</span><span class="number">2</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ For small <span class="emphasis"><em>a</em></span> and <span class="emphasis"><em>b</em></span> that's not a
+ problem, but to put the relationship another way: <span class="emphasis"><em>each time a and
+ b increase in magnitude by a factor of 10, at least one decimal digit of
+ precision will be lost.</em></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ In contrast, by analytically combining like power terms in a ratio of Lanczos
+ approximation's, these errors can be virtually eliminated for small <span class="emphasis"><em>a</em></span>
+ and <span class="emphasis"><em>b</em></span>, and kept under control for very large (or very
+ small for that matter) <span class="emphasis"><em>a</em></span> and <span class="emphasis"><em>b</em></span>.
+ Of course, computing large powers is itself a notoriously hard problem, but
+ even so, analytic combinations of Lanczos approximations can make the difference
+ between obtaining a valid result, or simply garbage. Refer to the implementation
+ notes for the <a class="link" href="../special/sf_beta/beta_function.html" title="Beta">beta</a>
+ function for an example of this method in practice. The incomplete <a class="link" href="../special/sf_gamma/igamma.html" title="Incomplete Gamma Functions">gamma_p gamma</a> and
+ <a class="link" href="../special/sf_beta/ibeta_function.html" title="Incomplete Beta Functions">beta</a> functions
+ use similar analytic combinations of power terms, to combine gamma and beta
+ functions divided by large powers into single (simpler) expressions.

+ The Lanczos Approximation to the Gamma Function is given by:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../equations/lanczos0.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Where S<sub>g</sub>(z) is an infinite sum, that is convergent for all z > 0, and

+ of the terms in the sum which is given by:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../equations/lanczos0a.png"></span>

+ With individual coefficients defined in closed form by:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../equations/lanczos0b.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ However, evaluation of the sum in that form can lead to numerical instability
+ in the computation of the ratios of rising and falling factorials (effectively
+ we're multiplying by a series of numbers very close to 1, so roundoff errors
+ can accumulate quite rapidly).
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The Lanczos approximation is therefore often written in partial fraction
+ form with the leading constants absorbed by the coefficients in the sum:

+ Again parameter <span class="emphasis"><em>g</em></span> is an arbitrarily chosen constant,

+ The trick is to choose <span class="emphasis"><em>N</em></span> and <span class="emphasis"><em>g</em></span>

+ The alternative described by <a class="link" href="lanczos.html#godfrey">Godfrey</a> is to

+ parameter space to determine the optimal combination for a given <span class="emphasis"><em>p</em></span>
+ digit floating-point type. Repeating this work found a good approximation
+ for double precision arithmetic (close to the one <a class="link" href="lanczos.html#godfrey">Godfrey</a>
+ found), but failed to find really good approximations for 80 or 128-bit long
+ doubles. Further it was observed that the approximations obtained tended
+ to optimised for the small values of z (1 < z < 200) used to test the
+ implementation against the factorials. Computing ratios of gamma functions
+ with large arguments were observed to suffer from error resulting from the
+ truncation of the Lancozos series.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <a class="link" href="lanczos.html#pugh">Pugh</a> identified all the locations where the theoretical
+ error of the approximation were at a minimum, but unfortunately has published
+ only the largest of these minima. However, he makes the observation that
+ the minima coincide closely with the location where the first neglected term
+ (a<sub>N</sub>) in the Lanczos series S<sub>g</sub>(z) changes sign. These locations are quite
+ easy to locate, albeit with considerable computer time. These "sweet
+ spots" need only be computed once, tabulated, and then searched when
+ required for an approximation that delivers the required precision for some
+ fixed precision type.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Unfortunately, following this path failed to find a really good approximation
+ for 128-bit long doubles, and those found for 64 and 80-bit reals required
+ an excessive number of terms. There are two competing issues here: high precision
+ requires a large value of <span class="emphasis"><em>g</em></span>, but avoiding cancellation
+ errors in the evaluation requires a small <span class="emphasis"><em>g</em></span>.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ At this point note that the Lanczos sum can be converted into rational form
+ (a ratio of two polynomials, obtained from the partial-fraction form using
+ polynomial arithmetic), and doing so changes the coefficients so that <span class="emphasis"><em>they
+ are all positive</em></span>. That means that the sum in rational form can
+ be evaluated without cancellation error, albeit with double the number of
+ coefficients for a given N. Repeating the search of the "sweet spots",
+ this time evaluating the Lanczos sum in rational form, and testing only those
+ "sweet spots" whose theoretical error is less than the machine
+ epsilon for the type being tested, yielded good approximations for all the
+ types tested. The optimal values found were quite close to the best cases
+ reported by <a class="link" href="lanczos.html#pugh">Pugh</a> (just slightly larger <span class="emphasis"><em>N</em></span>
+ and slightly smaller <span class="emphasis"><em>g</em></span> for a given precision than <a class="link" href="lanczos.html#pugh">Pugh</a> reports), and even though converting to rational
+ form doubles the number of stored coefficients, it should be noted that half
+ of them are integers (and therefore require less storage space) and the approximations
+ require a smaller <span class="emphasis"><em>N</em></span> than would otherwise be required,
+ so fewer floating point operations may be required overall.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The following table shows the optimal values for <span class="emphasis"><em>N</em></span> and
+ <span class="emphasis"><em>g</em></span> when computing at fixed precision. These should be
+ taken as work in progress: there are no values for 106-bit significand machines
+ (Darwin long doubles & NTL quad_float), and further optimisation of the
+ values of <span class="emphasis"><em>g</em></span> may be possible. Errors given in the table
+ are estimates of the error due to truncation of the Lanczos infinite series
+ to <span class="emphasis"><em>N</em></span> terms. They are calculated from the sum of the
+ first five neglected terms - and are known to be rather pessimistic estimates
+ - although it is noticeable that the best combinations of <span class="emphasis"><em>N</em></span>
+ and <span class="emphasis"><em>g</em></span> occurred when the estimated truncation error almost
+ exactly matches the machine epsilon for the type in question.

+<p>
+ Given an actual value <span class="emphasis"><em>a</em></span> and a found value <span class="emphasis"><em>v</em></span>
+ the relative error can be calculated from:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../equations/error2.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ However the test programs in the library use the symmetrical form:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../equations/error1.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ which measures <span class="emphasis"><em>relative difference</em></span> and happens to be
+ less error prone in use since we don't have to worry which value is the "true"
+ result, and which is the experimental one. It guarantees to return a value
+ at least as large as the relative error.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Special care needs to be taken when one value is zero: we could either take
+ the absolute error in this case (but that's cheating as the absolute error
+ is likely to be very small), or we could assign a value of either 1 or infinity
+ to the relative error in this special case. In the test cases for the special
+ functions in this library, everything below a threshold is regarded as "effectively
+ zero", otherwise the relative error is assigned the value of 1 if only
+ one of the terms is zero. The threshold is currently set at <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">numeric_limits</span><span class="special"><>::</span><span class="identifier">min</span><span class="special">()</span></code>: in other words all denormalised numbers
+ are regarded as a zero.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ All the test programs calculate <span class="emphasis"><em>quantized relative error</em></span>,
+ whereas the graphs in this manual are produced with the <span class="emphasis"><em>actual
+ error</em></span>. The difference is as follows: in the test programs, the
+ test data is rounded to the target real type under test when the program
+ is compiled, so the error observed will then be a whole number of <span class="emphasis"><em>units
+ in the last place</em></span> either rounded up from the actual error, or
+ rounded down (possibly to zero). In contrast the <span class="emphasis"><em>true error</em></span>
+ is obtained by extending the precision of the calculated value, and then
+ comparing to the actual value: in this case the calculated error may be some
+ fraction of <span class="emphasis"><em>units in the last place</em></span>.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Note that throughout this manual and the test programs the relative error
+ is usually quoted in units of epsilon. However, remember that <span class="emphasis"><em>units
+ in the last place</em></span> more accurately reflect the number of contaminated
+ digits, and that relative error can <span class="emphasis"><em>"wobble"</em></span>
+ by a factor of 2 compared to <span class="emphasis"><em>units in the last place</em></span>.
+ In other words: two implementations of the same function, whose maximum relative
+ errors differ by a factor of 2, can actually be accurate to the same number
+ of binary digits. You have been warned!

+ Impossibility of Zero Error</a>
+ </h5>
+<p>
+ For many of the functions in this library, it is assumed that the error is
+ "effectively zero" if the computation can be done with a number
+ of guard digits. However it should be remembered that if the result is a
+ <span class="emphasis"><em>transcendental number</em></span> then as a point of principle we
+ can never be sure that the result is accurate to more than 1 ulp. This is
+ an example of <span class="emphasis"><em>the table makers dilemma</em></span>: consider what
+ happens if the first guard digit is a one, and the remaining guard digits
+ are all zero. Do we have a tie or not? Since the only thing we can tell about
+ a transcendental number is that its digits have no particular pattern, we
+ can never tell if we have a tie, no matter how many guard digits we have.
+ Therefore, we can never be completely sure that the result has been rounded
+ in the right direction. Of course, transcendental numbers that just happen
+ to be a tie - for however many guard digits we have - are extremely rare,
+ and get rarer the more guard digits we have, but even so....

+<p>
+ The Remez algorithm
+ is a methodology for locating the minimax rational approximation to a function.
+ This short article gives a brief overview of the method, but it should not
+ be regarded as a thorough theoretical treatment, for that you should consult
+ your favorite textbook.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Imagine that you want to approximate some function f(x) by way of a rational
+ function R(x), where R(x) may be either a polynomial P(x) or a ratio of two
+ polynomials P(x)/Q(x) (a rational function). Initially we'll concentrate
+ on the polynomial case, as it's by far the easier to deal with, later we'll
+ extend to the full rational function case.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ We want to find the "best" rational approximation, where "best"
+ is defined to be the approximation that has the least deviation from f(x).
+ We can measure the deviation by way of an error function:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ E<sub>abs</sub>(x) = f(x) - R(x)
+ </p>
+<p>
+ which is expressed in terms of absolute error, but we can equally use relative
+ error:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ E<sub>rel</sub>(x) = (f(x) - R(x)) / |f(x)|
+ </p>
+<p>
+ And indeed in general we can scale the error function in any way we want,
+ it makes no difference to the maths, although the two forms above cover almost
+ every practical case that you're likely to encounter.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The minimax rational function R(x) is then defined to be the function that
+ yields the smallest maximal value of the error function. Chebyshev showed
+ that there is a unique minimax solution for R(x) that has the following properties:
+ </p>
+<div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc">
+<li>
+ If R(x) is a polynomial of degree N, then there are N+2 unknowns: the N+1
+ coefficients of the polynomial, and maximal value of the error function.
+ </li>
+<li>
+ The error function has N+1 roots, and N+2 extrema (minima and maxima).
+ </li>
+<li>
+ The extrema alternate in sign, and all have the same magnitude.
+ </li>
+</ul></div>
+<p>
+ That means that if we know the location of the extrema of the error function
+ then we can write N+2 simultaneous equations:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ R(x<sub>i</sub>) + (-1)<sup>i</sup>E = f(x<sub>i</sub>)
+ </p>
+<p>
+ where E is the maximal error term, and x<sub>i</sub> are the abscissa values of the N+2
+ extrema of the error function. It is then trivial to solve the simultaneous
+ equations to obtain the polynomial coefficients and the error term.
+ </p>

+ Method</a>
+ </h5>
+<p>
+ The Remez method is an iterative technique which, given a broad range of
+ assumptions, will converge on the extrema of the error function, and therefore
+ the minimax solution.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ In the following discussion we'll use a concrete example to illustrate the
+ Remez method: an approximation to the function e<sup>x</sup> over the range [-1, 1].
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Before we can begin the Remez method, we must obtain an initial value for
+ the location of the extrema of the error function. We could "guess"
+ these, but a much closer first approximation can be obtained by first constructing
+ an interpolated polynomial approximation to f(x).
+ </p>
+<p>
+ In order to obtain the N+1 coefficients of the interpolated polynomial we
+ need N+1 points (x<sub>0</sub>...x<sub>N</sub>): with our interpolated form passing through each
+ of those points that yields N+1 simultaneous equations:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ f(x<sub>i</sub>) = P(x<sub>i</sub>) = c<sub>0</sub> + c<sub>1</sub>x<sub>i</sub> ... + c<sub>N</sub>x<sub>i</sub><sup>N</sup>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Which can be solved for the coefficients c<sub>0</sub>...c<sub>N</sub> in P(x).
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Obviously this is not a minimax solution, indeed our only guarantee is that
+ f(x) and P(x) touch at N+1 locations, away from those points the error may
+ be arbitrarily large. However, we would clearly like this initial approximation
+ to be as close to f(x) as possible, and it turns out that using the zeros
+ of an orthogonal polynomial as the initial interpolation points is a good
+ choice. In our example we'll use the zeros of a Chebyshev polynomial as these
+ are particularly easy to calculate, interpolating for a polynomial of degree
+ 4, and measuring <span class="emphasis"><em>relative error</em></span> we get the following
+ error function:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../graphs/remez-2.png" alt="remez-2"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Which has a peak relative error of 1.2x10<sup>-3</sup>.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ While this is a pretty good approximation already, judging by the shape of
+ the error function we can clearly do better. Before starting on the Remez
+ method propper, we have one more step to perform: locate all the extrema
+ of the error function, and store these locations as our initial <span class="emphasis"><em>Chebyshev
+ control points</em></span>.

+<p>
+ In the simple case of a polynomial approximation, by interpolating through

+ <a class="link" href="remez.html#math_toolkit.backgrounders.remez.remez_step_1">Remez Step
+ 1</a>
+ </h5>
+<p>
+ The first step in the Remez method, given our current set of N+2 Chebyshev
+ control points x<sub>i</sub>, is to solve the N+2 simultaneous equations:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ P(x<sub>i</sub>) + (-1)<sup>i</sup>E = f(x<sub>i</sub>)
+ </p>
+<p>
+ To obtain the error term E, and the coefficients of the polynomial P(x).
+ </p>
+<p>
+ This gives us a new approximation to f(x) that has the same error <span class="emphasis"><em>E</em></span>
+ at each of the control points, and whose error function <span class="emphasis"><em>alternates
+ in sign</em></span> at the control points. This is still not necessarily the
+ minimax solution though: since the control points may not be at the extrema
+ of the error function. After this first step here's what our approximation's
+ error function looks like:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../graphs/remez-3.png" alt="remez-3"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Clearly this is still not the minimax solution since the control points are
+ not located at the extrema, but the maximum relative error has now dropped
+ to 5.6x10<sup>-4</sup>.
+ </p>
+<a name="math_toolkit.backgrounders.remez.remez_step_2"></a><h5>
+<a name="id917731"></a>
+ <a class="link" href="remez.html#math_toolkit.backgrounders.remez.remez_step_2">Remez Step
+ 2</a>
+ </h5>
+<p>
+ The second step is to locate the extrema of the new approximation, which
+ we do in two stages: first, since the error function changes sign at each
+ control point, we must have N+1 roots of the error function located between
+ each pair of N+2 control points. Once these roots are found by standard root
+ finding techniques, we know that N extrema are bracketed between each pair
+ of roots, plus two more between the endpoints of the range and the first
+ and last roots. The N+2 extrema can then be found using standard function
+ minimisation techniques.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ We now have a choice: multi-point exchange, or single point exchange.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ In single point exchange, we move the control point nearest to the largest
+ extrema to the absissa value of the extrema.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ In multi-point exchange we swap all the current control points, for the locations
+ of the extrema.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ In our example we perform multi-point exchange.

+ <a class="link" href="remez.html#math_toolkit.backgrounders.remez.iteration">Iteration</a>
+ </h5>
+<p>
+ The Remez method then performs steps 1 and 2 above iteratively until the
+ control points are located at the extrema of the error function: this is
+ then the minimax solution.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ For our current example, two more iterations converges on a minimax solution
+ with a peak relative error of 5x10<sup>-4</sup> and an error function that looks like:

+ <a class="link" href="remez.html#math_toolkit.backgrounders.remez.rational_approximations">Rational
+ Approximations</a>
+ </h5>
+<p>
+ If we wish to extend the Remez method to a rational approximation of the
+ form
+ </p>
+<p>
+ f(x) = R(x) = P(x) / Q(x)
+ </p>
+<p>
+ where P(x) and Q(x) are polynomials, then we proceed as before, except that
+ now we have N+M+2 unknowns if P(x) is of order N and Q(x) is of order M.
+ This assumes that Q(x) is normalised so that it's leading coefficient is
+ 1, giving N+M+1 polynomial coefficients in total, plus the error term E.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The simultaneous equations to be solved are now:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ P(x<sub>i</sub>) / Q(x<sub>i</sub>) + (-1)<sup>i</sup>E = f(x<sub>i</sub>)
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Evaluated at the N+M+2 control points x<sub>i</sub>.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Unfortunately these equations are non-linear in the error term E: we can
+ only solve them if we know E, and yet E is one of the unknowns!
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The method usually adopted to solve these equations is an iterative one:
+ we guess the value of E, solve the equations to obtain a new value for E
+ (as well as the polynomial coefficients), then use the new value of E as
+ the next guess. The method is repeated until E converges on a stable value.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ These complications extend the running time required for the development
+ of rational approximations quite considerably. It is often desirable to obtain
+ a rational rather than polynomial approximation none the less: rational approximations
+ will often match more difficult to approximate functions, to greater accuracy,
+ and with greater efficiency, than their polynomial alternatives. For example,
+ if we takes our previous example of an approximation to e<sup>x</sup>, we obtained 5x10<sup>-4</sup> accuracy
+ with an order 4 polynomial. If we move two of the unknowns into the denominator
+ to give a pair of order 2 polynomials, and re-minimise, then the peak relative
+ error drops to 8.7x10<sup>-5</sup>. That's a 5 fold increase in accuracy, for the same
+ number of terms overall.

+<a name="id918027"></a>
+ <a class="link" href="remez.html#math_toolkit.backgrounders.remez.practical_considerations">Practical
+ Considerations</a>
+ </h5>
+<p>
+ Most treatises on approximation theory stop at this point. However, from
+ a practical point of view, most of the work involves finding the right approximating
+ form, and then persuading the Remez method to converge on a solution.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ So far we have used a direct approximation:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ f(x) = R(x)
+ </p>
+<p>
+ But this will converge to a useful approximation only if f(x) is smooth.
+ In addition round-off errors when evaluating the rational form mean that
+ this will never get closer than within a few epsilon of machine precision.
+ Therefore this form of direct approximation is often reserved for situations
+ where we want efficiency, rather than accuracy.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The first step in improving the situation is generally to split f(x) into
+ a dominant part that we can compute accurately by another method, and a slowly
+ changing remainder which can be approximated by a rational approximation.
+ We might be tempted to write:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ f(x) = g(x) + R(x)
+ </p>
+<p>
+ where g(x) is the dominant part of f(x), but if f(x)/g(x) is approximately
+ constant over the interval of interest then:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ f(x) = g(x)(c + R(x))
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Will yield a much better solution: here <span class="emphasis"><em>c</em></span> is a constant
+ that is the approximate value of f(x)/g(x) and R(x) is typically tiny compared
+ to <span class="emphasis"><em>c</em></span>. In this situation if R(x) is optimised for absolute
+ error, then as long as its error is small compared to the constant <span class="emphasis"><em>c</em></span>,
+ that error will effectively get wiped out when R(x) is added to <span class="emphasis"><em>c</em></span>.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The difficult part is obviously finding the right g(x) to extract from your
+ function: often the asymptotic behaviour of the function will give a clue,
+ so for example the function <a class="link" href="../special/sf_erf/error_function.html" title="Error Functions">erfc</a>
+ becomes proportional to e<sup>-x<sup>2</sup></sup>/x as x becomes large. Therefore using:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ erfc(z) = (C + R(x)) e<sup>-x<sup>2</sup></sup>/x
+ </p>
+<p>
+ as the approximating form seems like an obvious thing to try, and does indeed
+ yield a useful approximation.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ However, the difficulty then becomes one of converging the minimax solution.
+ Unfortunately, it is known that for some functions the Remez method can lead
+ to divergent behaviour, even when the initial starting approximation is quite
+ good. Furthermore, it is not uncommon for the solution obtained in the first
+ Remez step above to be a bad one: the equations to be solved are generally
+ "stiff", often very close to being singular, and assuming a solution
+ is found at all, round-off errors and a rapidly changing error function,
+ can lead to a situation where the error function does not in fact change
+ sign at each control point as required. If this occurs, it is fatal to the
+ Remez method. It is also possible to obtain solutions that are perfectly
+ valid mathematically, but which are quite useless computationally: either
+ because there is an unavoidable amount of roundoff error in the computation
+ of the rational function, or because the denominator has one or more roots
+ over the interval of the approximation. In the latter case while the approximation
+ may have the correct limiting value at the roots, the approximation is nonetheless
+ useless.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Assuming that the approximation does not have any fatal errors, and that
+ the only issue is converging adequately on the minimax solution, the aim
+ is to get as close as possible to the minimax solution before beginning the
+ Remez method. Using the zeros of a Chebyshev polynomial for the initial interpolation
+ is a good start, but may not be ideal when dealing with relative errors and/or
+ rational (rather than polynomial) approximations. One approach is to skew
+ the initial interpolation points to one end: for example if we raise the
+ roots of the Chebyshev polynomial to a positive power greater than 1 then
+ the roots will be skewed towards the middle of the [-1,1] interval, while
+ a positive power less than one will skew them towards either end. More usefully,
+ if we initially rescale the points over [0,1] and then raise to a positive
+ power, we can skew them to the left or right. Returning to our example of
+ e<sup>x</sup> over [-1,1], the initial interpolated form was some way from the minimax
+ solution:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../graphs/remez-2.png" alt="remez-2"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ However, if we first skew the interpolation points to the left (rescale them
+ to [0, 1], raise to the power 1.3, and then rescale back to [-1,1]) we reduce
+ the error from 1.3x10<sup>-3</sup>to 6x10<sup>-4</sup>:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../graphs/remez-5.png" alt="remez-5"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ It's clearly still not ideal, but it is only a few percent away from our
+ desired minimax solution (5x10<sup>-4</sup>).

+ The following lists some of the things to check if the Remez method goes
+ wrong, it is by no means an exhaustive list, but is provided in the hopes

+ </p>
+<div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc">

+ is a narrow region where the Remez method will not converge.
+ </li>
+<li>
+ Check you have enough accuracy in your calculations: remember that the
+ Remez method works on the difference between the approximation and the
+ function being approximated: so you must have more digits of precision
+ available than the precision of the approximation being constructed. So

+ </li>
+<li>
+ If a rational function won't converge, one can minimise a polynomial (which
+ presents no problems), then rotate one term from the numerator to the denominator
+ and minimise again. In theory one can continue moving terms one at a time
+ from numerator to denominator, and then re-minimising, retaining the last

+ Try using a smaller interval. It may also be possible to optimise over

+ </p>
+<p>

+ </p>
+<p>
+ How the beta distribution is used for <a href="http://home.uchicago.edu/~grynav/bayes/ABSLec5.ppt" target="_top">Bayesian

+ </p>
+<p>
+ The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_density_function" target="_top">probability
+ density function PDF</a> for the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_distribution" target="_top">beta
+ distribution</a> defined on the interval [0,1] is given by:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ f(x;α,β) = x<sup>α - 1</sup> (1 - x)<sup>β -1</sup> / B(α, β)
+ </p>
+<p>
+ where B(α, β) is the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_function" target="_top">beta
+ function</a>, implemented in this library as <a class="link" href="../../../special/sf_beta/beta_function.html" title="Beta">beta</a>.
+ Division by the beta function ensures that the pdf is normalized to the
+ range zero to unity.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The following graph illustrates examples of the pdf for various values
+ of the shape parameters. Note the α = β = 2 (blue line) is dome-shaped, and
+ might be approximated by a symmetrical triangular distribution.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../../graphs/beta_pdf.png" align="middle"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ If α = β = 1, then it is a ​
+<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_distribution_%28continuous%29" target="_top">uniform
+ distribution</a>, equal to unity in the entire interval x = 0 to
+ 1. If α ​ and β ​ are < 1, then the pdf is U-shaped. If α != β, then the shape
+ is asymmetric and could be approximated by a triangle whose apex is away
+ from the centre (where x = half).

+ The beta distribution can be used to model events constrained to take
+ place within an interval defined by a minimum and maximum value: so it
+ is used in project management systems.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ It is also widely used in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayesian_inference" target="_top">Bayesian
+ statistical inference</a>.

+ </h5>
+<p>
+ The beta distribution with both α ​ and β = 1 follows a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_distribution_%28continuous%29" target="_top">uniform
+ distribution</a>.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The triangular
+ is used when less precise information is available.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_distribution" target="_top">binomial
+ distribution</a> is closely related when α ​ and β ​ are integers.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ With integer values of α ​ and β ​ the distribution B(i, j) is that of the j-th
+ highest of a sample of i + j + 1 independent random variables uniformly
+ distributed between 0 and 1. The cumulative probability from 0 to x is
+ thus the probability that the j-th highest value is less than x. Or it
+ is the probability that that at least i of the random variables are less
+ than x, a probability given by summing over the <a class="link" href="binomial_dist.html" title="Binomial Distribution">Binomial
+ Distribution</a> with its p parameter set to x.

+ The Binomial distribution is a discrete distribution: internally
+ functions like the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">cdf</span></code>
+ and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">pdf</span></code> are treated
+ "as if" they are continuous functions, but in reality the
+ results returned from these functions only have meaning if an integer
+ value is provided for the random variate argument.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The quantile function will by default return an integer result that
+ has been <span class="emphasis"><em>rounded outwards</em></span>. That is to say lower
+ quantiles (where the probability is less than 0.5) are rounded downward,
+ and upper quantiles (where the probability is greater than 0.5) are
+ rounded upwards. This behaviour ensures that if an X% quantile is
+ requested, then <span class="emphasis"><em>at least</em></span> the requested coverage
+ will be present in the central region, and <span class="emphasis"><em>no more than</em></span>
+ the requested coverage will be present in the tails.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ This behaviour can be changed so that the quantile functions are
+ rounded differently, or even return a real-valued result using <a class="link" href="../../../policy/pol_overview.html" title="Policy Overview">Policies</a>. It is
+ strongly recommended that you read the tutorial <a class="link" href="../../../policy/pol_tutorial/understand_dis_quant.html" title="Understanding Quantiles of Discrete Distributions">Understanding
+ Quantiles of Discrete Distributions</a> before using the quantile
+ function on the Binomial distribution. The <a class="link" href="../../../policy/pol_ref/discrete_quant_ref.html" title="Discrete Quantile Policies">reference
+ docs</a> describe how to change the rounding policy for these
+ distributions.

+</pre>
+<p>
+ The default method if this parameter is not specified is the Clopper

+ overly conservative, sometimes producing intervals with much greater
+ than the requested coverage.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The alternative calculation method produces a non-informative Jeffreys
+ Prior interval. It produces <code class="computeroutput"><span class="number">100</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="number">1</span><span class="special">-</span><span class="identifier">alpha</span><span class="special">)%</span></code>
+ coverage only <span class="emphasis"><em>in the average case</em></span>, though is typically

+ of calculation recommended in the review by Brown, Cai and DasGupta.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Please note that the "textbook" calculation method using a
+ normal approximation (the Wald interval) is deliberately not provided:
+ it is known to produce consistently poor results, even when the sample
+ size is surprisingly large. Refer to Brown, Cai and DasGupta for a full
+ explanation. Many other methods of calculation are available, and may
+ be more appropriate for specific situations. Unfortunately there appears
+ to be no consensus amongst statisticians as to which is "best":
+ refer to the discussion at the end of Brown, Cai and DasGupta for examples.

+ The Chi-Squared distribution is one of the most widely used distributions

+independent, normally distributed random

+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../../equations/chi_squ_ref1.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ is distributed according to the Chi-Squared distribution.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The Chi-Squared distribution is a special case of the gamma distribution
+ and has a single parameter ν that specifies the number of degrees of freedom.
+ The following graph illustrates how the distribution changes for different
+ values of ν:

+<p>
+ The sign of the parameter <span class="emphasis"><em>difference_from_variance</em></span>
+ is important: the Chi Squared distribution is asymmetric, and the caller

+ or testing for a variance less than a nominal value (negative <span class="emphasis"><em>difference_from_variance</em></span>).

+ <span class="identifier">difference_from_variance</span> <span class="special">></span>

+ There are various <a href="http://mathworld.wolfram.com/ExtremeValueDistribution.html" target="_top">extreme
+ value distributions</a> : this implementation represents the maximum
+ case, and is variously known as a Fisher-Tippett distribution, a log-Weibull
+ distribution or a Gumbel distribution.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Extreme value theory is important for assessing risk for highly unusual
+ events, such as 100-year floods.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ More information can be found on the NIST,
+ Wikipedia,
+ Mathworld,
+ and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_value_theory" target="_top">Extreme
+ value theory</a> websites.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The relationship of the types of extreme value distributions, of which
+ this is but one, is discussed by <a href="http://www.worldscibooks.com/mathematics/p191.html" target="_top">Extreme
+ Value Distributions, Theory and Applications Samuel Kotz & Saralees
+ Nadarajah</a>.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The distribution has a PDF given by:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ f(x) = (1/scale) e<sup>-(x-location)/scale</sup> e<sup>-e<sup>-(x-location)/scale</sup></sup>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Which in the standard case (scale = 1, location = 0) reduces to:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ f(x) = e<sup>-x</sup>e<sup>-e<sup>-x</sup></sup>
+ </p>

+ The following graph illustrates how the PDF varies with the location
+ parameter:

+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../../equations/gamma_dist_ref1.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Sometimes an alternative formulation is used: given parameters α= k and
+ β= 1 / θ, then the distribution can be defined by the PDF:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../../equations/gamma_dist_ref2.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ In this form the inverse scale parameter is called a <span class="emphasis"><em>rate parameter</em></span>.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Both forms are in common usage: this library uses the first definition
+ throughout. Therefore to construct a Gamma Distribution from a <span class="emphasis"><em>rate
+ parameter</em></span>, you should pass the reciprocal of the rate as the
+ scale parameter.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The following two graphs illustrate how the PDF of the gamma distribution

+ using a <span class="emphasis"><em>rate</em></span> rather than a <span class="emphasis"><em>scale</em></span>
+ as the second parameter (remember that the rate is the reciprocal of
+ the scale).
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Internally the functions used to implement the Gamma Distribution are
+ already optimised for small-integer arguments, so in general there should
+ be no great loss of performance from using a Gamma Distribution rather
+ than a dedicated Erlang Distribution.

+ The lognormal distribution is the distribution that arises when the logarithm

+ The location and scale parameters are equivalent to the mean and standard
+ deviation of the logarithm of the random variable.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The following graph illustrates the effect of the location parameter
+ on the PDF, note that the range of the random variable remains [0,+∞]

+ The noncentral beta distribution is a generalization of the <a class="link" href="beta_dist.html" title="Beta Distribution">Beta
+ Distribution</a>.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ It is defined as the ratio X = χ<sub>m</sub><sup>2</sup>(λ) / (χ<sub>m</sub><sup>2</sup>(λ) + χ<sub>n</sub><sup>2</sup>) where χ<sub>m</sub><sup>2</sup>(λ) is a noncentral
+ χ<sup>2</sup>
+random variable with <span class="emphasis"><em>m</em></span> degrees of freedom, and
+ χ<sub>n</sub><sup>2</sup>
+is a central χ<sup>2</sup> random variable with <span class="emphasis"><em>n</em></span> degrees of
+ freedom.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ This gives a PDF that can be expressed as a Poisson mixture of beta distribution
+ PDFs:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../../equations/nc_beta_ref1.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ where P(i;λ/2) is the discrete Poisson probablity at <span class="emphasis"><em>i</em></span>,
+ with mean λ/2, and I<sub>x</sub><sup>'</sup>(α, β) is the derivative of the incomplete beta function.
+ This leads to the usual form of the CDF as:

+ The CDF and its complement are evaluated as follows:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ First we determine which of the two values (the CDF or its complement)
+ is likely to be the smaller, the crossover point is taken to be the mean
+ of the distribution: for this we use the approximation due to: R. Chattamvelli
+ and R. Shanmugam, "Algorithm AS 310: Computing the Non-Central Beta
+ Distribution Function", Applied Statistics, Vol. 46, No. 1. (1997),
+ pp. 146-156.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../../equations/nc_beta_ref3.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Then either the CDF or its complement is computed using the relations:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../../equations/nc_beta_ref4.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The summation is performed by starting at i = λ/2, and then recursing
+ in both directions, using the usual recurrence relations for the Poisson
+ PDF and incomplete beta functions. This is the "Method 2" described
+ by:

+ Of these, the Posten reference provides the most complete overview, and

+ </p>
+<p>
+ The main difference between this implementation and the above references
+ is the direct computation of the complement when most efficient to do
+ so, and the accumulation of the sum to -1 rather than subtracting the
+ result from 1 at the end: this can substantially reduce the number of
+ iterations required when the result is near 1.

+ Quantiles are computed using a specially modified version of <a class="link" href="../../../toolkit/internals1/roots2.html" title="Root Finding Without Derivatives">bracket_and_solve_root</a>,
+ starting the search for the root at the mean of the distribution. (A
+ Cornish-Fisher type expansion was also tried, but while this gets quite
+ close to the root in many cases, when it is wrong it tends to introduce
+ quite pathological behaviour: more investigation in this area is probably
+ warranted).

+ </h5>
+<p>
+ The CDF and its complement are evaluated as follows:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ First we determine which of the two values (the CDF or its complement)
+ is likely to be the smaller: for this we can use the relation due to
+ Temme (see "Asymptotic and Numerical Aspects of the Noncentral Chi-Square
+ Distribution", N. M. Temme, Computers Math. Applic. Vol 25, No.
+ 5, 55-63, 1993) that:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ F(ν,λ;ν+λ) ≈ 0.5
+ </p>
+<p>
+ and so compute the CDF when the random variable is less than ν+λ, and its
+ complement when the random variable is greater than ν+λ. If necessary the
+ computed result is then subtracted from 1 to give the desired result
+ (the CDF or its complement).
+ </p>
+<p>
+ For small values of the non centrality parameter, the CDF is computed
+ using the method of Ding (see "Algorithm AS 275: Computing the Non-Central
+ #2 Distribution Function", Cherng G. Ding, Applied Statistics, Vol.
+ 41, No. 2. (1992), pp. 478-482). This uses the following series representation:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../../equations/nc_chi_squ_ref4.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ which requires just one call to <a class="link" href="../../../special/sf_gamma/gamma_derivatives.html" title="Derivative of the Incomplete Gamma Function">gamma_p_derivative</a>
+ with the subsequent terms being computed by recursion as shown above.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ For larger values of the non-centrality parameter, Ding's method can
+ take an unreasonable number of terms before convergence is achieved.
+ Furthermore, the largest term is not the first term, so in extreme cases
+ the first term may be zero, leading to a zero result, even though the
+ true value may be non-zero.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Therefore, when the non-centrality parameter is greater than 200, the
+ method due to Krishnamoorthy (see "Computing discrete mixtures of
+ continuous distributions: noncentral chisquare, noncentral t and the
+ distribution of the square of the sample multiple correlation coefficient",
+ Denise Benton and K. Krishnamoorthy, Computational Statistics & Data
+ Analysis, 43, (2003), 249-267) is used.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ This method uses the well known sum:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../../equations/nc_chi_squ_ref5.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Where P<sub>a</sub>(x) is the incomplete gamma function.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The method starts at the λth term, which is where the Poisson weighting
+ function achieves its maximum value, although this is not necessarily
+ the largest overall term. Subsequent terms are calculated via the normal
+ recurrence relations for the incomplete gamma function, and iteration
+ proceeds both forwards and backwards until sufficient precision has been
+ achieved. It should be noted that recurrence in the forwards direction
+ of P<sub>a</sub>(x) is numerically unstable. However, since we always start <span class="emphasis"><em>after</em></span>
+ the largest term in the series, numeric instability is introduced more
+ slowly than the series converges.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Computation of the complement of the CDF uses an extension of Krishnamoorthy's
+ method, given that:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../../equations/nc_chi_squ_ref6.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ we can again start at the λ'th term and proceed in both directions from
+ there until the required precision is achieved. This time it is backwards
+ recursion on the incomplete gamma function Q<sub>a</sub>(x) which is unstable. However,
+ as long as we start well <span class="emphasis"><em>before</em></span> the largest term,
+ this is not an issue in practice.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The PDF is computed directly using the relation:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../../equations/nc_chi_squ_ref3.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Where <span class="emphasis"><em>f(x; v)</em></span> is the PDF of the central <a class="link" href="chi_squared_dist.html" title="Chi Squared Distribution">Chi
+ Squared Distribution</a> and <span class="emphasis"><em>I<sub>v</sub>(x)</em></span> is a modified
+ Bessel function, see <a class="link" href="../../../special/bessel/mbessel.html" title="Modified Bessel Functions of the First and Second Kinds">cyl_bessel_i</a>.
+ For small values of the non-centrality parameter the relation in terms
+ of <a class="link" href="../../../special/bessel/mbessel.html" title="Modified Bessel Functions of the First and Second Kinds">cyl_bessel_i</a>
+ is used. However, this method fails for large values of the non-centrality
+ parameter, so in that case the infinite sum is evaluated using the method
+ of Benton and Krishnamoorthy, and the usual recurrence relations for
+ successive terms.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The quantile functions are computed by numeric inversion of the CDF.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ There is no <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed_form" target="_top">closed
+ form</a> for the mode of the noncentral chi-squared distribution:
+ it is computed numerically by finding the maximum of the PDF. Likewise,
+ the median is computed numerically via the quantile.
+ </p>

+ <a class="link" href="nc_t_dist.html#math_toolkit.dist.dist_ref.dists.nc_t_dist.implementation">Implementation</a>
+ </h5>
+<p>
+ The CDF is computed using a modification of the method described in "Computing
+ discrete mixtures of continuous distributions: noncentral chisquare,
+ noncentral t and the distribution of the square of the sample multiple
+ correlation coefficient." Denise Benton, K. Krishnamoorthy, Computational
+ Statistics & Data Analysis 43 (2003) 249-267.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ This uses the following formula for the CDF:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../../equations/nc_t_ref2.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Where I<sub>x</sub>(a,b) is the incomplete beta function, and Φ(x) is the normal
+ CDF at x.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Iteration starts at the largest of the Poisson weighting terms (at i
+ = δ<sup>2</sup> / 2) and then proceeds in both directions as per Benton and Krishnamoorthy's
+ paper.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Alternatively, by considering what happens when t = ∞, we have x = 1,
+ and therefore I<sub>x</sub>(a,b) = 1 and:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../../equations/nc_t_ref3.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ From this we can easily show that:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../../equations/nc_t_ref4.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ and therefore we have a means to compute either the probability or its
+ complement directly without the risk of cancellation error. The crossover
+ criterion for choosing whether to calculate the CDF or it's complement
+ is the same as for the <a class="link" href="nc_beta_dist.html" title="Noncentral Beta Distribution">noncentral
+ beta distribution</a>.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The PDF can be computed by a very similar method using:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../../equations/nc_t_ref5.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Where I<sub>x</sub><sup>'</sup>(a,b) is the derivative of the incomplete beta function.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The quantile is calculated via the usual <a class="link" href="../../../toolkit/internals1/roots2.html" title="Root Finding Without Derivatives">derivative-free
+ root-finding techniques</a>, with the initial guess taken as the quantile
+ of a normal approximation to the noncentral T.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ There is no closed form for the mode, so this is computed via functional
+ maximisation of the PDF.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The remaining functions (mean, variance etc) are implemented using the
+ formulas given in Weisstein, Eric W. "Noncentral Student's t-Distribution."
+ From MathWorld--A Wolfram Web Resource. http://mathworld.wolfram.com/NoncentralStudentst-Distribution.html
+ and in the <a href="http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/ref/NoncentralStudentTDistribution.html" target="_top">Mathematica
+ documentation</a>.

+ Some analytic properties of noncentral distributions (particularly unimodality,
+ and monotonicity of their modes) are surveyed and summarized by:

+ beta function family of functions). This real-valued version is also
+ called the Polya Distribution.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The Poisson distribution is a generalization of the Pascal distribution,
+ where the success parameter r is an integer: to obtain the Pascal distribution
+ you must ensure that an integer value is provided for r, and take integer
+ values (floor or ceiling) from functions that return a number of successes.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ For large values of r (successes), the negative binomial distribution
+ converges to the Poisson distribution.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The geometric distribution is a special case where the successes parameter
+ r = 1, so only a first and only success is required. geometric(p) = negative_binomial(1,
+ p).
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The Poisson distribution is a special case for large successes
+ </p>
+<p>
+ poisson(λ) = lim <sub>r → ∞</sub> negative_binomial(r, r / (λ + r)))

+ The Negative Binomial distribution is a discrete distribution: internally
+ functions like the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">cdf</span></code>
+ and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">pdf</span></code> are treated
+ "as if" they are continuous functions, but in reality the
+ results returned from these functions only have meaning if an integer
+ value is provided for the random variate argument.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The quantile function will by default return an integer result that
+ has been <span class="emphasis"><em>rounded outwards</em></span>. That is to say lower
+ quantiles (where the probability is less than 0.5) are rounded downward,
+ and upper quantiles (where the probability is greater than 0.5) are
+ rounded upwards. This behaviour ensures that if an X% quantile is
+ requested, then <span class="emphasis"><em>at least</em></span> the requested coverage
+ will be present in the central region, and <span class="emphasis"><em>no more than</em></span>
+ the requested coverage will be present in the tails.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ This behaviour can be changed so that the quantile functions are
+ rounded differently, or even return a real-valued result using <a class="link" href="../../../policy/pol_overview.html" title="Policy Overview">Policies</a>. It is
+ strongly recommended that you read the tutorial <a class="link" href="../../../policy/pol_tutorial/understand_dis_quant.html" title="Understanding Quantiles of Discrete Distributions">Understanding
+ Quantiles of Discrete Distributions</a> before using the quantile
+ function on the Negative Binomial distribution. The <a class="link" href="../../../policy/pol_ref/discrete_quant_ref.html" title="Discrete Quantile Policies">reference
+ docs</a> describe how to change the rounding policy for these
+ distributions.

+<p>
+ The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisson_distribution" target="_top">Poisson
+ distribution</a> is a well-known statistical discrete distribution.
+ It expresses the probability of a number of events (or failures, arrivals,
+ occurrences ...) occurring in a fixed period of time, provided these
+ events occur with a known mean rate λ
+(events/time), and are independent
+ of the time since the last event.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The distribution was discovered by Simé on-Denis Poisson (1781 to 1840).
+ </p>
+<p>
+ It has the Probability Mass Function:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../../equations/poisson_ref1.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ for k events, with an expected number of events λ.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The following graph illustrates how the PDF varies with the parameter
+ λ:

+<p>
+ The Poisson distribution is a discrete distribution: internally functions
+ like the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">cdf</span></code> and
+ <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">pdf</span></code> are treated "as
+ if" they are continuous functions, but in reality the results
+ returned from these functions only have meaning if an integer value
+ is provided for the random variate argument.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The quantile function will by default return an integer result that
+ has been <span class="emphasis"><em>rounded outwards</em></span>. That is to say lower
+ quantiles (where the probability is less than 0.5) are rounded downward,
+ and upper quantiles (where the probability is greater than 0.5) are
+ rounded upwards. This behaviour ensures that if an X% quantile is
+ requested, then <span class="emphasis"><em>at least</em></span> the requested coverage
+ will be present in the central region, and <span class="emphasis"><em>no more than</em></span>
+ the requested coverage will be present in the tails.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ This behaviour can be changed so that the quantile functions are
+ rounded differently, or even return a real-valued result using <a class="link" href="../../../policy/pol_overview.html" title="Policy Overview">Policies</a>. It is

+ Student's t-distribution is defined as the distribution of the random

+ The Student's t-distribution takes a single parameter: the number of
+ degrees of freedom of the sample. When the degrees of freedom is <span class="emphasis"><em>one</em></span>
+ then this distribution is the same as the Cauchy-distribution. As the
+ number of degrees of freedom tends towards infinity, then this distribution
+ approaches the normal-distribution. The following graph illustrates how

+<p>
+ The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangular_distribution" target="_top">triangular
+ distribution</a> is a continuous
+ <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_distribution" target="_top">probability
+ distribution</a> with a lower limit a, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mode_%28statistics%29" target="_top">mode
+ c</a>, and upper limit b.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The triangular distribution is often used where the distribution is only
+ vaguely known, but, like the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_distribution_%28continuous%29" target="_top">uniform
+ distribution</a>, upper and limits are 'known', but a 'best guess',
+ the mode or center point, is also added. It has been recommended as a
+ <a href="http://www.worldscibooks.com/mathematics/etextbook/5720/5720_chap1.pdf" target="_top">proxy
+ for the beta distribution.</a> The distribution is used in business
+ decision making and project planning.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangular_distribution" target="_top">triangular
+ distribution</a> is a distribution with the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_density_function" target="_top">probability
+ density function</a>:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ f(x) =
+ </p>
+<div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc">
+<li>
+ 2(x-a)/(b-a) (c-a) for a <= x <= c
+ </li>
+<li>
+ 2(b-x)/(b-a)(b-c) for c < x <= b
+ </li>
+</ul></div>
+<p>
+ Parameter a (lower) can be any finite value. Parameter b (upper) can
+ be any finite value > a (lower). Parameter c (mode) a <= c <=
+ b. This is the most probable value.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The random variate
+ x must also be finite, and is supported lower <= x <= upper.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The triangular distribution may be appropriate when an assumption of
+ a normal distribution is unjustified because uncertainty is caused by
+ rounding and quantization from analog to digital conversion. Upper and
+ lower limits are known, and the most probable value lies midway.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The distribution simplifies when the 'best guess' is either the lower
+ or upper limit - a 90 degree angle triangle. The default chosen is the
+ 001 triangular distribution which expresses an estimate that the lowest
+ value is the most likely; for example, you believe that the next-day
+ quoted delivery date is most likely (knowing that a quicker delivery
+ is impossible - the postman only comes once a day), and that longer delays
+ are decreasingly likely, and delivery is assumed to never take more than
+ your upper limit.
+ </p>

+ The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weibull_distribution" target="_top">Weibull
+ distribution</a> is a continuous distribution with the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_density_function" target="_top">probability
+ density function</a>:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ f(x; α, β) = (α/β) * (x / β)<sup>α - 1</sup> * e<sup>-(x/β)<sup>α</sup></sup>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ For shape parameter α > 0, and scale parameter β > 0, and x > 0.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The Weibull distribution is often used in the field of failure analysis;
+ in particular it can mimic distributions where the failure rate varies
+ over time. If the failure rate is:
+ </p>
+<div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc">
+<li>
+ constant over time, then α = 1, suggests that items are failing from
+ random events.
+ </li>
+<li>
+ decreases over time, then α < 1, suggesting "infant mortality".
+ </li>
+<li>
+ increases over time, then α > 1, suggesting "wear out" -
+ more likely to fail as time goes by.
+ </li>
+</ul></div>

+ Properties that are common to all distributions are accessed via non-member
+ getter functions. This allows more of these functions to be added over
+ time as the need arises. Unfortunately the literature uses many different
+ and confusing names to refer to a rather small number of actual concepts;
+ refer to the <a class="link" href="nmp.html#concept_index">concept index</a> to find
+ the property you want by the name you are most familiar with. Or use the
+ <a class="link" href="nmp.html#function_index">function index</a> to go straight to
+ the function you want if you already know its name.

+<p>
+ Note that the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete_probability_distribution" target="_top">discrete
+ distributions</a>, including the binomial, negative binomial, Poisson
+ & Bernoulli, are all mathematically defined as discrete functions:
+ only integral values of the random variate are envisaged and the functions
+ are only defined at these integral values. However because the method of
+ calculation often uses continuous functions, it is convenient to treat
+ them as if they were continuous functions, and permit non-integral values
+ of their parameters.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ To enforce a strict mathematical model, users may use floor or ceil functions
+ on the random variate, prior to calling the distribution function, to enforce
+ integral values.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ For similar reasons, in continuous distributions, parameters like degrees
+ of freedom that might appear to be integral, are treated as real values
+ (and are promoted from integer to floating-point if necessary). In this
+ case however, that there are a small number of situations where non-integral
+ degrees of freedom do have a genuine meaning.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Generally speaking there is no loss of performance from allowing real-values
+ parameters: the underlying special functions contain optimizations for
+ integer-valued arguments when applicable.

+ The quantile function of a discrete distribution will by default return
+ an integer result that has been <span class="emphasis"><em>rounded outwards</em></span>.
+ That is to say lower quantiles (where the probability is less than 0.5)
+ are rounded downward, and upper quantiles (where the probability is greater
+ than 0.5) are rounded upwards. This behaviour ensures that if an X% quantile
+ is requested, then <span class="emphasis"><em>at least</em></span> the requested coverage
+ will be present in the central region, and <span class="emphasis"><em>no more than</em></span>
+ the requested coverage will be present in the tails.

+<p>
+ This behaviour can be changed so that the quantile functions are rounded
+ differently, or even return a real-valued result using <a class="link" href="../../policy/pol_overview.html" title="Policy Overview">Policies</a>.
+ It is strongly recommended that you read the tutorial <a class="link" href="../../policy/pol_tutorial/understand_dis_quant.html" title="Understanding Quantiles of Discrete Distributions">Understanding
+ Quantiles of Discrete Distributions</a> before using the quantile
+ function on a discrete distribution. The <a class="link" href="../../policy/pol_ref/discrete_quant_ref.html" title="Discrete Quantile Policies">reference

+ The distribution objects store any parameters associated with the distribution:

+ arguments - <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">RealType</span> <span class="special">=</span>
+ <span class="keyword">double</span></code> - is nearly as convenient).
+ Probably 95% of uses are covered by these typedefs:

+<p>
+ Random variates
+ and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parameter" target="_top">distribution
+ parameters</a> are conventionally distinguished (for example in Wikipedia
+ and Wolfram MathWorld by placing a semi-colon (or sometimes vertical
+ bar) after the random variate (whose value you 'choose'), to separate
+ the variate from the parameter(s) that defines the shape of the distribution.
+ </p>
+</td></tr>
+</table></div>
+<p>
+ As noted above the non-member function <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">pdf</span></code>
+ has one parameter for the distribution object, and a second for the random
+ variate. So taking our binomial distribution example, we would write:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">pdf</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">binomial_distribution</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">RealType</span><span class="special">>(</span><span class="identifier">n</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="identifier">p</span><span class="special">),</span> <span class="identifier">k</span><span class="special">);</span></code>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The ranges of random variate values that are permitted and are supported
+ can be tested by using two functions <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">range</span></code>
+ and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">support</span></code>.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The distribution (effectively the random variate) is said to be 'supported'
+ over a range that is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_distribution" target="_top">"the
+ smallest closed set whose complement has probability zero"</a>.
+ MathWorld uses the word 'defined' for this range. Non-mathematicians might
+ say it means the 'interesting' smallest range of random variate x that
+ has the cdf going from zero to unity. Outside are uninteresting zones where
+ the pdf is zero, and the cdf zero or unity.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ For most distributions, with probability distribution functions one might
+ describe as 'well-behaved', we have decided that it is most useful for
+ the supported range to exclude random variate values like exact zero <span class="bold"><strong>if the end point is discontinuous</strong></span>. For example,
+ the Weibull (scale 1, shape 1) distribution smoothly heads for unity as
+ the random variate x declines towards zero. But at x = zero, the value
+ of the pdf is suddenly exactly zero, by definition. If you are plotting
+ the PDF, or otherwise calculating, zero is not the most useful value for
+ the lower limit of supported, as we discovered. So for this, and similar
+ distributions, we have decided it is most numerically useful to use the
+ closest value to zero, min_value, for the limit of the supported range.
+ (The <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">range</span></code> remains from
+ zero, so you will still get <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">pdf</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">weibull</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="number">0</span><span class="special">)</span>
+ <span class="special">==</span> <span class="number">0</span></code>).
+ (Exponential and gamma distributions have similarly discontinuous functions).
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Mathematically, the functions may make sense with an (+ or -) infinite
+ value, but except for a few special cases (in the Normal and Cauchy distributions)
+ this implementation limits random variates to finite values from the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">max</span></code> to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">min</span></code>
+ for the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">RealType</span></code>. (See

+ <span class="bold"><strong>Discrete Probability Distributions</strong></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Note that the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete_probability_distribution" target="_top">discrete
+ distributions</a>, including the binomial, negative binomial, Poisson
+ & Bernoulli, are all mathematically defined as discrete functions:
+ that is to say the functions <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">cdf</span></code>
+ and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">pdf</span></code> are only defined
+ for integral values of the random variate.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ However, because the method of calculation often uses continuous functions
+ it is convenient to treat them as if they were continuous functions,
+ and permit non-integral values of their parameters.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Users wanting to enforce a strict mathematical model may use <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">floor</span></code> or <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">ceil</span></code>
+ functions on the random variate prior to calling the distribution function.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The quantile functions for these distributions are hard to specify in
+ a manner that will satisfy everyone all of the time. The default behaviour
+ is to return an integer result, that has been rounded <span class="emphasis"><em>outwards</em></span>:
+ that is to say, lower quantiles - where the probablity is less than 0.5
+ are rounded down, while upper quantiles - where the probability is greater
+ than 0.5 - are rounded up. This behaviour ensures that if an X% quantile
+ is requested, then <span class="emphasis"><em>at least</em></span> the requested coverage
+ will be present in the central region, and <span class="emphasis"><em>no more than</em></span>
+ the requested coverage will be present in the tails.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ This behaviour can be changed so that the quantile functions are rounded
+ differently, or return a real-valued result using <a class="link" href="../../policy/pol_overview.html" title="Policy Overview">Policies</a>.
+ It is strongly recommended that you read the tutorial <a class="link" href="../../policy/pol_tutorial/understand_dis_quant.html" title="Understanding Quantiles of Discrete Distributions">Understanding
+ Quantiles of Discrete Distributions</a> before using the quantile
+ function on a discrete distribtion. The <a class="link" href="../../policy/pol_ref/discrete_quant_ref.html" title="Discrete Quantile Policies">reference
+ docs</a> describe how to change the rounding policy for these distributions.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ For similar reasons continuous distributions with parameters like "degrees
+ of freedom" that might appear to be integral, are treated as real
+ values (and are promoted from integer to floating-point if necessary).
+ In this case however, there are a small number of situations where non-integral
+ degrees of freedom do have a genuine meaning.

+ then <code class="computeroutput"><span class="number">1</span> <span class="special">-</span>
+ <span class="number">0.999999940f</span> <span class="special">=</span>
+ <span class="number">5.96046448e-008</span></code>, but the result
+ is actually accurate to just <span class="emphasis"><em>one single bit</em></span>: the
+ only bit that didn't cancel out!
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Or to look at this another way: consider that we want the risk of falsely
+ rejecting the null-hypothesis in the Student's t test to be 1 in 1 billion,
+ for a sample size of 10,000. This gives a probability of 1 - 10<sup>-9</sup>, which
+ is exactly 1 when calculated at float precision. In this case calculating
+ the quantile from the complement neatly solves the problem, so for example:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">quantile</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">complement</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">students_t</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="number">10000</span><span class="special">),</span> <span class="number">1e-9</span><span class="special">))</span></code>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ returns the expected t-statistic <code class="computeroutput"><span class="number">6.00336</span></code>,
+ where as:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">quantile</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">students_t</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="number">10000</span><span class="special">),</span> <span class="number">1</span><span class="special">-</span><span class="number">1e-9f</span><span class="special">)</span></code>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ raises an overflow error, since it is the same as:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">quantile</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">students_t</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="number">10000</span><span class="special">),</span> <span class="number">1</span><span class="special">)</span></code>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Which has no finite result.

+ Sometimes it's the parameters that define the distribution that you need
+ to find. Suppose, for example, you have conducted a Students-t test for
+ equal means and the result is borderline. Maybe your two samples differ
+ from each other, or maybe they don't; based on the result of the test you
+ can't be sure. A legitimate question to ask then is "How many more
+ measurements would I have to take before I would get an X% probability
+ that the difference is real?" Parameter finders can answer questions
+ like this, and are necessarily different for each distribution. They are
+ implemented as static member functions of the distributions, for example:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">students_t</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">find_degrees_of_freedom</span><span class="special">(</span>
+ <span class="number">1.3</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="comment">// difference from true mean to detect
+</span> <span class="number">0.05</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="comment">// maximum risk of falsely rejecting the null-hypothesis.
+</span> <span class="number">0.1</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="comment">// maximum risk of falsely failing to reject the null-hypothesis.
+</span> <span class="number">0.13</span><span class="special">);</span> <span class="comment">// sample standard deviation
+</span></pre>
+<p>
+ Returns the number of degrees of freedom required to obtain a 95% probability
+ that the observed differences in means is not down to chance alone. In
+ the case that a borderline Students-t test result was previously obtained,
+ this can be used to estimate how large the sample size would have to become
+ before the observed difference was considered significant. It assumes,
+ of course, that the sample mean and standard deviation are invariant with
+ sample size.

+<p>
+ Random variates
+ and distribution parameters
+ are conventionally distinguished (for example in Wikipedia and Wolfram
+ MathWorld by placing a semi-colon after the random variate (whose value
+ you 'choose'), to separate the variate from the parameter(s) that defines
+ the shape of the distribution.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ For example, the binomial distribution has two parameters: n (the number
+ of trials) and p (the probability of success on one trial). It also has
+ the random variate <span class="emphasis"><em>k</em></span>: the number of successes observed.
+ This means the probability density/mass function (pdf) is written as <span class="emphasis"><em>f(k;
+ n, p)</em></span>.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Translating this into code the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">binomial_distribution</span></code>
+ constructor therefore has two parameters:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">binomial_distribution</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">RealType</span> <span class="identifier">n</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="identifier">RealType</span> <span class="identifier">p</span><span class="special">);</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ While the function <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">pdf</span></code>
+ has one argument specifying the distribution type (which includes it's
+ parameters, if any), and a second argument for the random variate. So taking
+ our binomial distribution example, we would write:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">pdf</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">binomial_distribution</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">RealType</span><span class="special">>(</span><span class="identifier">n</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="identifier">p</span><span class="special">),</span> <span class="identifier">k</span><span class="special">);</span>

+<p>
+ Imagine you have a process that follows a binomial distribution: for
+ each trial conducted, an event either occurs or does it does not, referred
+ to as "successes" and "failures". If, by experiment,
+ you want to measure the frequency with which successes occur, the best
+ estimate is given simply by <span class="emphasis"><em>k</em></span> / <span class="emphasis"><em>N</em></span>,
+ for <span class="emphasis"><em>k</em></span> successes out of <span class="emphasis"><em>N</em></span>
+ trials. However our confidence in that estimate will be shaped by how
+ many trials were conducted, and how many successes were observed. The
+ static member functions <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">binomial_distribution</span><span class="special"><>::</span><span class="identifier">find_lower_bound_on_p</span></code>
+ and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">binomial_distribution</span><span class="special"><>::</span><span class="identifier">find_upper_bound_on_p</span></code>
+ allow you to calculate the confidence intervals for your estimate of
+ the occurrence frequency.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The sample program binomial_confidence_limits.cpp
+ illustrates their use. It begins by defining a procedure that will
+ print a table of confidence limits for various degrees of certainty:

+</pre>
+<p>
+ The procedure now defines a table of significance levels: these are
+ the probabilities that the true occurrence frequency lies outside the
+ calculated interval:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">double</span> <span class="identifier">alpha</span><span class="special">[]</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="special">{</span> <span class="number">0.5</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="number">0.25</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="number">0.1</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="number">0.05</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="number">0.01</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="number">0.001</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="number">0.0001</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="number">0.00001</span> <span class="special">};</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ Some pretty printing of the table header follows:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">cout</span> <span class="special"><<</span> <span class="string">"\n\n"</span>
+ <span class="string">"_______________________________________________________________________\n"</span>
+ <span class="string">"Confidence Lower CP Upper CP Lower JP Upper JP\n"</span>
+ <span class="string">" Value (%) Limit Limit Limit Limit\n"</span>
+ <span class="string">"_______________________________________________________________________\n"</span><span class="special">;</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ And now for the important part - the intervals themselves - for each
+ value of <span class="emphasis"><em>alpha</em></span>, we call <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">find_lower_bound_on_p</span></code>
+ and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">find_lower_upper_on_p</span></code>
+ to obtain lower and upper bounds respectively. Note that since we are
+ calculating a two-sided interval, we must divide the value of alpha
+ in two.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Please note that calculating two separate <span class="emphasis"><em>single sided bounds</em></span>,
+ each with risk level αis not the same thing as calculating a two sided
+ interval. Had we calculate two single-sided intervals each with a risk
+ that the true value is outside the interval of α, then:
+ </p>
+<div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li>
+ The risk that it is less than the lower bound is α.
+ </li></ul></div>
+<p>
+ and
+ </p>
+<div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li>
+ The risk that it is greater than the upper bound is also α.
+ </li></ul></div>
+<p>
+ So the risk it is outside <span class="bold"><strong>upper or lower bound</strong></span>,
+ is <span class="bold"><strong>twice</strong></span> alpha, and the probability
+ that it is inside the bounds is therefore not nearly as high as one
+ might have thought. This is why α/2 must be used in the calculations
+ below.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ In contrast, had we been calculating a single-sided interval, for example:
+ <span class="emphasis"><em>"Calculate a lower bound so that we are P% sure that
+ the true occurrence frequency is greater than some value"</em></span>
+ then we would <span class="bold"><strong>not</strong></span> have divided by
+ two.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Finally note that <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">binomial_distribution</span></code>
+ provides a choice of two methods for the calculation, we print out
+ the results from both methods in this example:

+<p>
+ Imagine you have a critical component that you know will fail in 1
+ in N "uses" (for some suitable definition of "use").
+ You may want to schedule routine replacement of the component so that
+ its chance of failure between routine replacements is less than P%.
+ If the failures follow a binomial distribution (each time the component
+ is "used" it either fails or does not) then the static member
+ function <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">binomial_distibution</span><span class="special"><>::</span><span class="identifier">find_maximum_number_of_trials</span></code>
+ can be used to estimate the maximum number of "uses" of that
+ component for some acceptable risk level <span class="emphasis"><em>alpha</em></span>.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The example program binomial_sample_sizes.cpp
+ demonstrates its usage. It centres on a routine that prints out a table
+ of maximum sample sizes for various probability thresholds:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">void</span> <span class="identifier">find_max_sample_size</span><span class="special">(</span>
+ <span class="keyword">double</span> <span class="identifier">p</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="comment">// success ratio.

+</span><span class="special">{</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ The routine then declares a table of probability thresholds: these

+<pre class="programlisting">________________________
+Maximum Number of Trials

+ 75.000 287
+ 90.000 105
+ 95.000 51
+ 99.000 10
+ 99.900 0
+ 99.990 0
+ 99.999 0
+</pre>
+<p>
+ So 51 "uses" of the component would yield a 95% chance that
+ no component failures would be observed.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Compare that with a 1 in 1 million chance of component failure:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting">________________________

+ In this case, even 1000 uses of the component would still yield a less

+ An example of a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli_process" target="_top">Bernoulli
+ process</a> is coin flipping. A variable in such a sequence may
+ be called a Bernoulli variable.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ This example shows using the Binomial distribution to predict the
+ probability of heads and tails when throwing a coin.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The number of correct answers (say heads), X, is distributed as a
+ binomial random variable with binomial distribution parameters number
+ of trials (flips) n = 10 and probability (success_fraction) of getting
+ a head p = 0.5 (a 'fair' coin).
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ (Our coin is assumed fair, but we could easily change the success_fraction
+ parameter p from 0.5 to some other value to simulate an unfair coin,
+ say 0.6 for one with chewing gum on the tail, so it is more likely
+ to fall tails down and heads up).
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ First we need some includes and using statements to be able to use
+ the binomial distribution, some std input and output, and get started:

+ A multiple choice test has four possible answers to each of 16 questions.
+ A student guesses the answer to each question, so the probability
+ of getting a correct answer on any given question is one in four,
+ a quarter, 1/4, 25% or fraction 0.25. The conditions of the binomial
+ experiment are assumed to be met: n = 16 questions constitute the
+ trials; each question results in one of two possible outcomes (correct
+ or incorrect); the probability of being correct is 0.25 and is constant
+ if no knowledge about the subject is assumed; the questions are answered
+ independently if the student's answer to a question in no way influences
+ his/her answer to another question.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ First, we need to be able to use the binomial distribution constructor
+ (and some std input/output, of course).

+<p>
+ Once you have calculated the standard deviation for your data, a legitimate
+ question to ask is "How reliable is the calculated standard deviation?".
+ For this situation the Chi Squared distribution can be used to calculate
+ confidence intervals for the standard deviation.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The full example code & sample output is in chi_square_std_deviation_test.cpp.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ We'll begin by defining the procedure that will calculate and print
+ out the confidence intervals:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">void</span> <span class="identifier">confidence_limits_on_std_deviation</span><span class="special">(</span>

+</span><span class="special">{</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ We'll begin by printing out some general information:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">cout</span> <span class="special"><<</span>
+ <span class="string">"________________________________________________\n"</span>

+</pre>
+<p>
+ and then define a table of significance levels for which we'll calculate
+ intervals:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">double</span> <span class="identifier">alpha</span><span class="special">[]</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="special">{</span> <span class="number">0.5</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="number">0.25</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="number">0.1</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="number">0.05</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="number">0.01</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="number">0.001</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="number">0.0001</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="number">0.00001</span> <span class="special">};</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ The distribution we'll need to calculate the confidence intervals is
+ a Chi Squared distribution, with N-1 degrees of freedom:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">chi_squared</span> <span class="identifier">dist</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">N</span> <span class="special">-</span> <span class="number">1</span><span class="special">);</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ For each value of alpha, the formula for the confidence interval is
+ given by:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../../../equations/chi_squ_tut1.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Where <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../../../equations/chi_squ_tut2.png"></span> is the upper critical value, and <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../../../equations/chi_squ_tut3.png"></span> is
+ the lower critical value of the Chi Squared distribution.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ In code we begin by printing out a table header:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">cout</span> <span class="special"><<</span> <span class="string">"\n\n"</span>

+ <span class="string">"_____________________________________________\n"</span><span class="special">;</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ and then loop over the values of alpha and calculate the intervals
+ for each: remember that the lower critical value is the same as the
+ quantile, and the upper critical value is the same as the quantile
+ from the complement of the probability:

+<p>
+ Even for 10 observations, normally considered a reasonable number,

+<p>
+ When we have 1000 observations, the estimate of the standard deviation

+<p>
+ Only when we have 10000 or more repeated observations can we start

+ Estimating the Required Sample Sizes for a Chi-Square Test for the Standard

+</h6></div></div></div>
+<p>
+ Suppose we conduct a Chi Squared test for standard deviation and the
+ result is borderline, a legitimate question to ask is "How large
+ would the sample size have to be in order to produce a definitive result?"
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The class template <a class="link" href="../../../dist_ref/dists/chi_squared_dist.html" title="Chi Squared Distribution">chi_squared_distribution</a>
+ has a static method <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">find_degrees_of_freedom</span></code>
+ that will calculate this value for some acceptable risk of type I failure
+ <span class="emphasis"><em>alpha</em></span>, type II failure <span class="emphasis"><em>beta</em></span>,
+ and difference from the standard deviation <span class="emphasis"><em>diff</em></span>.
+ Please note that the method used works on variance, and not standard
+ deviation as is usual for the Chi Squared Test.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The code for this example is located in chi_square_std_dev_test.cpp.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ We begin by defining a procedure to print out the sample sizes required
+ for various risk levels:

+</pre>
+<p>
+ For each value of alpha we can calculate two sample sizes: one where
+ the sample variance is less than the true value by <span class="emphasis"><em>diff</em></span>
+ and one where it is greater than the true value by <span class="emphasis"><em>diff</em></span>.
+ Thanks to the asymmetric nature of the Chi Squared distribution these

+ For some example output, consider the <a href="http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/handbook/prc/section2/prc23.htm" target="_top">silicon
+ wafer data</a> from the <a href="http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/handbook/" target="_top">NIST/SEMATECH
+ e-Handbook of Statistical Methods.</a>. In this scenario a supplier
+ of 100 ohm.cm silicon wafers claims that his fabrication process can
+ produce wafers with sufficient consistency so that the standard deviation
+ of resistivity for the lot does not exceed 10 ohm.cm. A sample of N
+ = 10 wafers taken from the lot has a standard deviation of 13.97 ohm.cm,
+ and the question we ask ourselves is "How large would our sample
+ have to be to reliably detect this difference?".
+ </p>
+<p>
+ To use our procedure above, we have to convert the standard deviations
+ to variance (square them), after which the program output looks like
+ this:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting">_____________________________________________________________
+Estimated sample sizes required for various confidence levels
+_____________________________________________________________
+
+True Variance = 100.00000
+Difference to detect = 95.16090
+
+
+_______________________________________________________________
+Confidence Estimated Estimated
+ Value (%) Sample Size Sample Size
+ (lower one (upper one
+ sided test) sided test)
+_______________________________________________________________
+ 50.000 2 2
+ 75.000 2 10
+ 90.000 4 32
+ 95.000 5 51
+ 99.000 7 99
+ 99.900 11 174
+ 99.990 15 251
+ 99.999 20 330
+</pre>
+<p>
+ In this case we are interested in a upper single sided test. So for
+ example, if the maximum acceptable risk of falsely rejecting the null-hypothesis
+ is 0.05 (Type I error), and the maximum acceptable risk of failing
+ to reject the null-hypothesis is also 0.05 (Type II error), we estimate
+ that we would need a sample size of 51.

+ The structure of distributions is rather different from some other
+ statistical libraries, for example in less object-oriented language
+ like FORTRAN and C, that provide a few arguments to each free function.
+ This library provides each distribution as a template C++ class. A
+ distribution is constructed with a few arguments, and then member and
+ non-member functions are used to find values of the distribution, often
+ a function of a random variate.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ First we need some includes to access the negative binomial distribution
+ (and the binomial, beta and gamma too).

+ Several examples of constructing distributions follow:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ First, a negative binomial distribution with 8 successes and a success
+ fraction 0.25, 25% or 1 in 4, is constructed like this:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+
+</p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">math</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">negative_binomial_distribution</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="keyword">double</span><span class="special">></span> <span class="identifier">mydist0</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="number">8.</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="number">0.25</span><span class="special">);</span></pre>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ But this is inconveniently long, so by writing
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+
+</p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">using</span> <span class="keyword">namespace</span> <span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">math</span><span class="special">;</span></pre>

+<p>

+<p>

+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">using</span> <span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">math</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">negative_binomial_distribution</span><span class="special">;</span></pre>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ we can reduce typing.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Since the vast majority of applications use will be using double precision,
+ the template argument to the distribution (RealType) defaults to type
+ double, so we can also write:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+
+</p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">negative_binomial_distribution</span><span class="special"><></span> <span class="identifier">mydist9</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="number">8.</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="number">0.25</span><span class="special">);</span> <span class="comment">// Uses default RealType = double.</span></pre>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ But the name "negative_binomial_distribution" is still inconveniently
+ long, so for most distributions, a convenience typedef is provided,
+ for example:
+ </p>
+<p>
+
+</p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">typedef</span> <span class="identifier">negative_binomial_distribution</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="keyword">double</span><span class="special">></span> <span class="identifier">negative_binomial</span><span class="special">;</span> <span class="comment">// Reserved name of type double.

+ No default constructors are provided for the negative binomial, because

+<p>
+ See <a class="link" href="../../../main_overview/error_handling.html" title="Error Handling">error handling
+ documentation</a> for a detailed explanation of the mechanism of handling
+ errors, including the common "bad" arguments to distributions
+ and functions, and how to use <a class="link" href="../../../policy.html" title="Policies">Policies</a>
+ to control it.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ But, by default, <span class="bold"><strong>exceptions will be raised</strong></span>,
+ for domain errors, pole errors, numeric overflow, and internal evaluation
+ errors. To avoid the exceptions from getting thrown and instead get an
+ appropriate value returned, usually a NaN (domain errors pole errors
+ or internal errors), or infinity (from overflow), you need to change
+ the policy.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The following example demonstrates the effect of setting the macro
+ BOOST_MATH_DOMAIN_ERROR_POLICY when an invalid argument is encountered.
+ For the purposes of this example, we'll pass a negative degrees of
+ freedom parameter to the student's t distribution.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Since we know that this is a single file program we could just add:
+ </p>
+<p>
+
+</p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="preprocessor">#define</span> <span class="identifier">BOOST_MATH_DOMAIN_ERROR_POLICY</span> <span class="identifier">ignore_error</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ to the top of the source file to change the default policy to one that
+ simply returns a NaN when a domain error occurs. Alternatively we could
+ use:
+ </p>
+<p>
+
+</p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="preprocessor">#define</span> <span class="identifier">BOOST_MATH_DOMAIN_ERROR_POLICY</span> <span class="identifier">errno_on_error</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ To ensure the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">errno</span></code>
+ is set when a domain error occurs as well as returning a NaN.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ This is safe provided the program consists of a single translation
+ unit <span class="emphasis"><em>and</em></span> we place the define <span class="emphasis"><em>before</em></span>
+ any #includes. Note that should we add the define after the includes
+ then it will have no effect! A warning such as:
+ </p>
+<p>
+
+</p>
+<pre class="programlisting">warning C4005: 'BOOST_MATH_OVERFLOW_ERROR_POLICY' : macro redefinition</pre>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ is a certain sign that it will <span class="emphasis"><em>not</em></span> have the desired
+ effect.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ We'll begin our sample program with the needed includes:

+ Degrees of freedom argument is -1, but must be > 0 !
+</pre>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Alternatively let's build with:

+<p>
+ Imagine that you want to compare the standard deviations of two sample
+ to determine if they differ in any significant way, in this situation
+ you use the F distribution and perform an F-test. This situation commonly
+ occurs when conducting a process change comparison: "is a new process
+ more consistent that the old one?".
+ </p>
+<p>
+ In this example we'll be using the data for ceramic strength from http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/handbook/eda/section4/eda42a1.htm.
+ The data for this case study were collected by Said Jahanmir of the NIST
+ Ceramics Division in 1996 in connection with a NIST/industry ceramics
+ consortium for strength optimization of ceramic strength.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The example program is f_test.cpp,
+ program output has been deliberately made as similar as possible to the
+ DATAPLOT output in the corresponding <a href="http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/handbook/eda/section3/eda359.htm" target="_top">NIST
+ EngineeringStatistics Handbook example</a>.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ We'll begin by defining the procedure to conduct the test:

+ "A machine is set to pack 3 kg of ground beef per pack. Over

+ distributed."
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ We start by constructing a normal distribution with the given parameters:

+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ We can then find the fraction (or %) of packages that weigh more
+ than 3.1 kg.

+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>

+ Of course, this calculation is not limited to packs of meat, it applies

+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The only caveat is that the calculation assumes that the standard
+ deviation (scale) is known with a reasonably low uncertainty, something
+ that is not so easy to ensure in practice. And that the distribution
+ is well defined, <a class="link" href="../../../dist_ref/dists/normal_dist.html" title="Normal (Gaussian) Distribution">Normal
+ Distribution</a> or <a class="link" href="../../../dist_ref/dists/cauchy_dist.html" title="Cauchy-Lorentz Distribution">Cauchy

+<p>

+<p>
+ If one is simply dispensing a very large number of packs, then it
+ may be feasible to measure the weight of hundreds or thousands of
+ packs. With a healthy 'degrees of freedom', the confidence intervals
+ for the standard deviation are not too wide, typically about + and
+ - 10% for hundreds of observations.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ For other applications, where it is more difficult or expensive to
+ make many observations, the confidence intervals are depressingly
+ wide.

+ Calculating Confidence Limits on the Frequency of Occurrence for the

+<p>
+ Imagine you have a process that follows a negative binomial distribution:
+ for each trial conducted, an event either occurs or does it does not,
+ referred to as "successes" and "failures". The
+ frequency with which successes occur is variously referred to as the
+ success fraction, success ratio, success percentage, occurrence frequency,
+ or probability of occurrence.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ If, by experiment, you want to measure the the best estimate of success
+ fraction is given simply by <span class="emphasis"><em>k</em></span> / <span class="emphasis"><em>N</em></span>,
+ for <span class="emphasis"><em>k</em></span> successes out of <span class="emphasis"><em>N</em></span>
+ trials.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ However our confidence in that estimate will be shaped by how many
+ trials were conducted, and how many successes were observed. The static
+ member functions <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">negative_binomial_distribution</span><span class="special"><>::</span><span class="identifier">find_lower_bound_on_p</span></code>
+ and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">negative_binomial_distribution</span><span class="special"><>::</span><span class="identifier">find_upper_bound_on_p</span></code>
+ allow you to calculate the confidence intervals for your estimate of
+ the success fraction.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The sample program neg_binom_confidence_limits.cpp
+ illustrates their use.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ First we need some includes to access the negative binomial distribution
+ (and some basic std output of course).

+<p>
+ Imagine you have an event (let's call it a "failure" - though
+ we could equally well call it a success if we felt it was a 'good'
+ event) that you know will occur in 1 in N trials. You may want to know
+ how many trials you need to conduct to be P% sure of observing at least
+ k such failures. If the failure events follow a negative binomial distribution
+ (each trial either succeeds or fails) then the static member function
+ <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">negative_binomial_distibution</span><span class="special"><>::</span><span class="identifier">find_minimum_number_of_trials</span></code>
+ can be used to estimate the minimum number of trials required to be
+ P% sure of observing the desired number of failures.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The example program neg_binomial_sample_sizes.cpp
+ demonstrates its usage.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ It centres around a routine that prints out a table of minimum sample
+ sizes for various probability thresholds:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+
+</p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">void</span> <span class="identifier">find_number_of_trials</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="keyword">double</span> <span class="identifier">failures</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="keyword">double</span> <span class="identifier">p</span><span class="special">);</span></pre>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ First define a table of significance levels: these are the maximum
+ acceptable probability that <span class="emphasis"><em>failure</em></span> or fewer
+ events will be observed.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+
+</p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">double</span> <span class="identifier">alpha</span><span class="special">[]</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="special">{</span> <span class="number">0.5</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="number">0.25</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="number">0.1</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="number">0.05</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="number">0.01</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="number">0.001</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="number">0.0001</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="number">0.00001</span> <span class="special">};</span></pre>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Confidence value as % is (1 - alpha) * 100, so alpha 0.05 == 95%
+ confidence that the desired number of failures will be observed.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Much of the rest of the program is pretty-printing, the important
+ part is in the calculation of minimum number of trials required for
+ each value of alpha using:
+ </p>
+<p>
+
+</p>

+<p>
+ This example program <a href="../../../../../../../../example/negative_binomial_example1.cpp" target="_top">negative_binomial_example1.cpp
+ (full source code)</a> demonstrates a simple use to find the probability
+ of meeting a sales quota.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Based on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_binomial_distribution" target="_top">a
+ problem by Dr. Diane Evans, Professor of Mathematics at Rose-Hulman
+ Institute of Technology</a>.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Pat is required to sell candy bars to raise money for the 6th grade
+ field trip. There are thirty houses in the neighborhood, and Pat
+ is not supposed to return home until five candy bars have been sold.
+ So the child goes door to door, selling candy bars. At each house,
+ there is a 0.4 probability (40%) of selling one candy bar and a 0.6
+ probability (60%) of selling nothing.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ What is the probability mass (density) function (pdf) for selling
+ the last (fifth) candy bar at the nth house?
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The Negative Binomial(r, p) distribution describes the probability
+ of k failures and r successes in k+r Bernoulli(p) trials with success
+ on the last trial. (A <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli_distribution" target="_top">Bernoulli
+ trial</a> is one with only two possible outcomes, success of
+ failure, and p is the probability of success). See also <a href="../../../../../" target="_top">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli_distribution
+ Bernoulli distribution</a> and <a href="http://www.math.uah.edu/stat/bernoulli/Introduction.xhtml" target="_top">Bernoulli
+ applications</a>.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ In this example, we will deliberately produce a variety of calculations
+ and outputs to demonstrate the ways that the negative binomial distribution
+ can be implemented with this library: it is also deliberately over-commented.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ First we need to #define macros to control the error and discrete
+ handling policies. For this simple example, we want to avoid throwing
+ an exception (the default policy) and just return infinity. We want
+ to treat the distribution as if it was continuous, so we choose a
+ discrete_quantile policy of real, rather than the default policy
+ integer_round_outwards.

+ After that we need some includes to provide easy access to the negative

+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ So the 2-sided values alpha[i] are calculated using alpha[i]/2.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ If we consider a simple example of alpha = 0.05, then for a two-sided
+ test, the lower tail area from -∞ up to -1.96 is 0.025 (alpha/2) and
+ the upper tail area from +z up to +1.96 is also 0.025 (alpha/2),
+ and the area between -1.96 up to 12.96 is alpha = 0.95. and the sum

+<p>
+ Let's say you have a sample mean, you may wish to know what confidence
+ intervals you can place on that mean. Colloquially: "I want an
+ interval that I can be P% sure contains the true mean". (On a
+ technical point, note that the interval either contains the true mean
+ or it does not: the meaning of the confidence level is subtly different
+ from this colloquialism. More background information can be found on
+ the <a href="http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/handbook/eda/section3/eda352.htm" target="_top">NIST
+ site</a>).
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The formula for the interval can be expressed as:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../../../equations/dist_tutorial4.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Where, <span class="emphasis"><em>Y<sub>s</sub></em></span> is the sample mean, <span class="emphasis"><em>s</em></span>
+ is the sample standard deviation, <span class="emphasis"><em>N</em></span> is the sample
+ size, <span class="emphasis"><em>[alpha]</em></span> is the desired significance level
+ and <span class="emphasis"><em>t<sub>(α/2,N-1)</sub></em></span> is the upper critical value of the
+ Students-t distribution with <span class="emphasis"><em>N-1</em></span> degrees of freedom.
+ </p>

+<p>

+</pre>
+<p>
+ Note that these are the complements of the confidence/probability levels:
+ 0.5, 0.75, 0.9 .. 0.99999).
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Next we'll declare the distribution object we'll need, note that the
+ <span class="emphasis"><em>degrees of freedom</em></span> parameter is the sample size
+ less one:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">students_t</span> <span class="identifier">dist</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">Sn</span> <span class="special">-</span> <span class="number">1</span><span class="special">);</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ Most of what follows in the program is pretty printing, so let's focus
+ on the calculation of the interval. First we need the t-statistic,
+ computed using the <span class="emphasis"><em>quantile</em></span> function and our significance
+ level. Note that since the significance levels are the complement of
+ the probability, we have to wrap the arguments in a call to <span class="emphasis"><em>complement(...)</em></span>:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">double</span> <span class="identifier">T</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="identifier">quantile</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">complement</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">dist</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="identifier">alpha</span><span class="special">[</span><span class="identifier">i</span><span class="special">]</span> <span class="special">/</span> <span class="number">2</span><span class="special">));</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ Note that alpha was divided by two, since we'll be calculating both
+ the upper and lower bounds: had we been interested in a single sided
+ interval then we would have omitted this step.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Now to complete the picture, we'll get the (one-sided) width of the
+ interval from the t-statistic by multiplying by the standard deviation,
+ and dividing by the square root of the sample size:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">double</span> <span class="identifier">w</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="identifier">T</span> <span class="special">*</span> <span class="identifier">Sd</span> <span class="special">/</span> <span class="identifier">sqrt</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="keyword">double</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">Sn</span><span class="special">));</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ The two-sided interval is then the sample mean plus and minus this
+ width.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ And apart from some more pretty-printing that completes the procedure.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Let's take a look at some sample output, first using the <a href="http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/handbook/eda/section4/eda428.htm" target="_top">Heat
+ flow data</a> from the NIST site. The data set was collected by

+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">double</span> <span class="identifier">alpha</span><span class="special">[]</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="special">{</span> <span class="number">0.5</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="number">0.25</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="number">0.1</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="number">0.05</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="number">0.01</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="number">0.001</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="number">0.0001</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="number">0.00001</span> <span class="special">};</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ Printing out the table of sample sizes required for various confidence
+ levels begins with the table header:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">cout</span> <span class="special"><<</span> <span class="string">"\n\n"</span>
+ <span class="string">"_______________________________________________________________\n"</span>

+ <span class="string">" (one sided test) (two sided test)\n"</span>
+ <span class="string">"_______________________________________________________________\n"</span><span class="special">;</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ And now the important part: the sample sizes required. Class <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">students_t_distribution</span></code> has a static
+ member function <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">find_degrees_of_freedom</span></code>
+ that will calculate how large a sample size needs to be in order to
+ give a definitive result.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The first argument is the difference between the means that you wish
+ to be able to detect, here it's the absolute value of the difference
+ between the sample mean, and the true mean.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Then come two probability values: alpha and beta. Alpha is the maximum
+ acceptable risk of rejecting the null-hypothesis when it is in fact
+ true. Beta is the maximum acceptable risk of failing to reject the
+ null-hypothesis when in fact it is false. Also note that for a two-sided
+ test, alpha must be divided by 2.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The final parameter of the function is the standard deviation of the
+ sample.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ In this example, we assume that alpha and beta are the same, and call
+ <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">find_degrees_of_freedom</span></code>
+ twice: once with alpha for a one-sided test, and once with alpha/2
+ for a two-sided test.

+ The values result from the determination of mercury by cold-vapour

+<p>
+ When calibrating or comparing a scientific instrument or measurement
+ method of some kind, we want to be answer the question "Does an
+ observed sample mean differ from the "true" mean in any significant
+ way?". If it does, then we have evidence of a systematic difference.
+ This question can be answered with a Students-t test: more information
+ can be found <a href="http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/handbook/eda/section3/eda352.htm" target="_top">on
+ the NIST site</a>.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Of course, the assignment of "true" to one mean may be quite
+ arbitrary, often this is simply a "traditional" method of
+ measurement.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The following example code is taken from the example program students_t_single_sample.cpp.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ We'll begin by defining a procedure to determine which of the possible
+ hypothesis are rejected or not-rejected at a given significance level:
+ </p>

+<th align="left">Note</th>
+</tr>
+<tr><td align="left" valign="top"><p>
+ Non-statisticians might say 'not-rejected' means 'accepted', (often
+ of the null-hypothesis) implying, wrongly, that there really <span class="bold"><strong>IS</strong></span> no difference, but statisticans eschew
+ this to avoid implying that there is positive evidence of 'no difference'.
+ 'Not-rejected' here means there is <span class="bold"><strong>no evidence</strong></span>
+ of difference, but there still might well be a difference. For example,
+ see <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_ignorance" target="_top">argument
+ from ignorance</a> and <a href="http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/full/311/7003/485" target="_top">Absence

+</pre>
+<p>
+ Finally calculate the probability from the t-statistic. If we're interested
+ in simply whether there is a difference (either less or greater) or
+ not, we don't care about the sign of the t-statistic, and we take the
+ complement of the probability for comparison to the significance level:

+<p>
+ Imagine that we have two samples, and we wish to determine whether
+ their means are different or not. This situation often arises when
+ determining whether a new process or treatment is better than an old
+ one.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ In this example, we'll be using the <a href="http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/handbook/eda/section3/eda3531.htm" target="_top">Car
+ Mileage sample data</a> from the <a href="http://www.itl.nist.gov" target="_top">NIST
+ website</a>. The data compares miles per gallon of US cars with
+ miles per gallon of Japanese cars.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The sample code is in students_t_two_samples.cpp.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ There are two ways in which this test can be conducted: we can assume
+ that the true standard deviations of the two samples are equal or not.
+ If the standard deviations are assumed to be equal, then the calculation
+ of the t-statistic is greatly simplified, so we'll examine that case
+ first. In real life we should verify whether this assumption is valid
+ with a Chi-Squared test for equal variances.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ We begin by defining a procedure that will conduct our test assuming
+ equal variances:

+ Using are car mileage data again, here's what the output looks like:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"> __________________________________________________
+ Student t test for two samples (unequal variances)
+ __________________________________________________
+
+ Number of Observations (Sample 1) = 249
+ Sample 1 Mean = 20.145
+ Sample 1 Standard Deviation = 6.4147
+ Number of Observations (Sample 2) = 79
+ Sample 2 Mean = 30.481
+ Sample 2 Standard Deviation = 6.1077
+ Degrees of Freedom = 136.87
+ T Statistic = -12.946
+ Probability that difference is due to chance = 1.571e-025
+
+ Results for Alternative Hypothesis and alpha = 0.0500
+
+ Alternative Hypothesis Conclusion
+ Sample 1 Mean != Sample 2 Mean NOT REJECTED
+ Sample 1 Mean < Sample 2 Mean NOT REJECTED
+ Sample 1 Mean > Sample 2 Mean REJECTED
+</pre>
+<p>
+ This time allowing the variances in the two samples to differ has yielded
+ a higher likelihood that the observed difference is down to chance
+ alone (1.571e-025 compared to 5.273e-030 when equal variances were
+ assumed). However, the conclusion remains the same: US cars are less
+ fuel efficient than Japanese models.

+<p>
+ The first thing you need to ask yourself is "Do I need to build anything
+ at all?" as the bulk of this library is header only: meaning you can
+ use it just by #including the necessary header(s). (The library includes
+ everything, so if you only use a few components, your total executables size
+ will be <span class="bold"><strong>much</strong></span> greater).
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The <span class="emphasis"><em>only</em></span> time you need to build the library is if you
+ want to use the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">extern</span> <span class="string">"C"</span></code>
+ functions declared in <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">math</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">tr1</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">hpp</span><span class="special">></span></code>. To build this using Boost.Build, from
+ a commandline boost-root directory issue a command like:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">bjam</span> <span class="identifier">toolset</span><span class="special">=</span><span class="identifier">gcc</span> <span class="special">--</span><span class="identifier">with</span><span class="special">-</span><span class="identifier">math</span> <span class="identifier">install</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ will do the job on Linux, while:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">bjam</span> <span class="identifier">toolset</span><span class="special">=</span><span class="identifier">msvc</span> <span class="special">--</span><span class="identifier">with</span><span class="special">-</span><span class="identifier">math</span> <span class="special">--</span><span class="identifier">build</span><span class="special">-</span><span class="identifier">type</span><span class="special">=</span><span class="identifier">complete</span> <span class="identifier">stage</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ will work better on Windows (leaving libraries built in sub-folder <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">stage</span></code>
+ below your Boost root directory). Either way you should consult the <a href="http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/release/more/getting_started/index.html" target="_top">getting
+ started guide</a> for more information.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ You can also build the libraries from your favourite IDE or command line
+ tool: each <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">extern</span> <span class="string">"C"</span></code>
+ function declared in <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">math</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">tr1</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">hpp</span><span class="special">></span></code> has its own source file with the same

+ select the sources corresponding to the functions you are using and build
+ them into a library, or else add them directly to your project. Note that
+ the directory <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">libs</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">math</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">src</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">tr1</span></code> will
+ need to be in your compiler's #include path as well as the boost-root directory
+ (MSVC Tools, Options, Projects and Solutions, VC++ Directories, Include files).

+ <a class="link" href="intro.html#math_toolkit.main_overview.intro.statistical_distributions">Statistical
+ Distributions</a>
+ </h5>
+<p>
+ Provides a reasonably comprehensive set of <a class="link" href="../dist.html" title="Statistical Distributions and Functions">statistical
+ distributions</a>, upon which higher level statistical tests can be built.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The initial focus is on the central <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Univariate" target="_top">univariate
+ </a> distributions.
+ Both continuous
+ (like <a class="link" href="../dist/dist_ref/dists/normal_dist.html" title="Normal (Gaussian) Distribution">normal</a>
+ & <a class="link" href="../dist/dist_ref/dists/f_dist.html" title="F Distribution">Fisher</a>)

+ <a class="link" href="intro.html#math_toolkit.main_overview.intro.mathematical_special_functions">Mathematical
+ Special Functions</a>
+ </h5>
+<p>
+ Provides a small number of high quality <a class="link" href="../special.html" title="Special Functions">special
+ functions</a>, initially these were concentrated on functions used in
+ statistical applications along with those in the <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2005/n1836.pdf" target="_top">Technical
+ Report on C++ Library Extensions</a>.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The function families currently implemented are the gamma, beta & erf
+ functions along with the incomplete gamma and beta functions (four variants
+ of each) and all the possible inverses of these, plus digamma, various factorial
+ functions, Bessel functions, elliptic integrals, sinus cardinals (along with
+ their hyperbolic variants), inverse hyperbolic functions, Legrendre/Laguerre/Hermite
+ polynomials and various special power and logarithmic functions.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ All the implementations are fully generic and support the use of arbitrary
+ "real-number" types, although they are optimised for use with types
+ with known-about <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Significand" target="_top">significand
+ (or mantissa)</a> sizes: typically <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">float</span></code>,

+ <a class="link" href="intro.html#math_toolkit.main_overview.intro.implementation_toolkit">Implementation
+ Toolkit</a>
+ </h5>
+<p>
+ Provides <a class="link" href="../toolkit.html" title="Internal Details and Tools (Experimental)">many of the tools</a> required
+ to implement mathematical special functions: hopefully the presence of these
+ will encourage other authors to contribute more special function implementations
+ in the future. These tools are currently considered experimental: they are
+ "exposed implementation details" whose interfaces and/or implementations
+ may change.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ There are helpers for the <a class="link" href="../toolkit/internals1/series_evaluation.html" title="Series Evaluation">evaluation

+ fractions</a> and <a class="link" href="../toolkit/internals1/rational.html" title="Polynomial and Rational Function Evaluation">rational
+ approximations</a>.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ There is a fairly comprehensive set of root finding and <a class="link" href="../toolkit/internals1/minima.html" title="Locating Function Minima">function
+ minimisation algorithms</a>: the root finding algorithms are both <a class="link" href="../toolkit/internals1/roots.html" title="Root Finding With Derivatives">with</a> and <a class="link" href="../toolkit/internals1/roots2.html" title="Root Finding Without Derivatives">without</a>
+ derivative support.

+<p>
+ A <a class="link" href="../toolkit/internals2/minimax.html" title="Minimax Approximations and the Remez Algorithm">Remez algorithm
+ implementation</a> allows for the locating of minimax rational approximations.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ There are also (experimental) classes for the <a class="link" href="../toolkit/internals2/polynomials.html" title="Polynomials">manipulation
+ of polynomials</a>, for <a class="link" href="../toolkit/internals2/error_test.html" title="Relative Error and Testing">testing

+<p>

+<p>
+ By and large the performance of this library should be acceptable for most
+ needs. However, you should note that the library's primary emphasis is
+ on accuracy and numerical stability, and <span class="emphasis"><em>not</em></span> speed.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ In terms of the algorithms used, this library aims to use the same "best
+ of breed" algorithms as many other libraries: the principle difference
+ is that this library is implemented in C++ - taking advantage of all the
+ abstraction mechanisms that C++ offers - where as most traditional numeric
+ libraries are implemented in C or FORTRAN. Traditionally languages such
+ as C or FORTRAN are perceived as easier to optimise than more complex languages
+ like C++, so in a sense this library provides a good test of current compiler
+ technology, and the "abstraction penalty" - if any - of C++ compared
+ to other languages.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The two most important things you can do to ensure the best performance
+ from this library are:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<div class="orderedlist"><ol type="1">
+<li>
+ Turn on your compilers optimisations: the difference between "release"
+ and "debug" builds can easily be a <a class="link" href="../perf/getting_best.html" title="Getting the Best Performance from this Library">factor
+ of 20</a>.
+ </li>
+<li>
+ Pick your compiler carefully: <a class="link" href="../perf/comp_compilers.html" title="Comparing Compilers">performance
+ differences of up to 8 fold</a> have been found between some windows
+ compilers for example.
+ </li>
+</ol></div>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The <a class="link" href="../perf.html" title="Performance">performance section</a> contains
+ more information on the performance of this library, what you can do to
+ fine tune it, and how this library compares to some other open source alternatives.

+ Policies are a powerful fine-grain mechanism that allow you to customise

+ tutorial</a> and the <a class="link" href="../policy/pol_ref.html" title="Policy Reference">policy

+ Generally speaking unless you find that the <a class="link" href="../policy/pol_tutorial/policy_tut_defaults.html" title="Policies Have Sensible Defaults">default
+ policy behaviour</a> when encountering 'bad' argument values does not
+ meet your needs, you should not need to worry about policies.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Policies are a compile-time mechanism that allow you to change error-handling
+ or calculation precision either program wide, or at the call site.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Although the policy mechanism itself is rather complicated, in practice
+ it is easy to use, and very flexible.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Using policies you can control:

+<p>
+ The functions in this library are all overloaded to accept mixed floating
+ point (or mixed integer and floating point type) arguments. So for example:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">foo</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="number">1.0</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="number">2.0</span><span class="special">);</span>
+<span class="identifier">foo</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="number">1.0f</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="number">2</span><span class="special">);</span>
+<span class="identifier">foo</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="number">1.0</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="number">2L</span><span class="special">);</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ etc, are all valid calls, as long as "foo" is a function taking
+ two floating-point arguments. But that leaves the question:
+ </p>
+<div class="sidebar">
+<p class="title"><b></b></p>
+<p>
+ <span class="emphasis"><em>"Given a special function with N arguments of types T1, T2,
+ T3 ... TN, then what type is the result?"</em></span>
+ </p>
+</div>
+<p>
+ <span class="bold"><strong>If all the arguments are of the same (floating point)
+ type then the result is the same type as the arguments.</strong></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Otherwise, the type of the result is computed using the following logic:
+ </p>
+<div class="orderedlist"><ol type="1">
+<li>
+ Any arguments that are not template arguments are disregarded from further
+ analysis.
+ </li>
+<li>
+ For each type in the argument list, if that type is an integer type then
+ it is treated as if it were of type double for the purposes of further
+ analysis.
+ </li>
+<li>
+ If any of the arguments is a user-defined class type, then the result type
+ is the first such class type that is constructible from all of the other
+ argument types.
+ </li>
+<li>
+ If any of the arguments is of type <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">long</span>
+ <span class="keyword">double</span></code>, then the result is of type
+ <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">long</span> <span class="keyword">double</span></code>.
+ </li>
+<li>
+ If any of the arguments is of type <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">double</span></code>,
+ then the result is of type <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">double</span></code>.
+ </li>
+<li>
+ Otherwise the result is of type <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">float</span></code>.
+ </li>
+</ol></div>
+<p>
+ For example:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">cyl_bessel</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="number">2</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="number">3.0</span><span class="special">);</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ Returns a <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">double</span></code> result, as
+ does:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">cyl_bessel</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="number">2</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="number">3.0f</span><span class="special">);</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ as in this case the integer first argument is treated as a <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">double</span></code> and takes precedence over the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">float</span></code> second argument. To get a <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">float</span></code> result we would need all the arguments
+ to be of type float:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">cyl_bessel_j</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="number">2.0f</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="number">3.0f</span><span class="special">);</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ When one or more of the arguments is not a template argument then it doesn't
+ effect the return type at all, for example:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">sph_bessel</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="number">2</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="number">3.0f</span><span class="special">);</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ returns a <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">float</span></code>, since the first
+ argument is not a template argument and so doesn't effect the result: without
+ this rule functions that take explicitly integer arguments could never return
+ <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">float</span></code>.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ And for user defined types, all of the following return an NTL::RR result:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">cyl_bessel_j</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="number">0</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="identifier">NTL</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">RR</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="number">2</span><span class="special">));</span>
+
+<span class="identifier">cyl_bessel_j</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">NTL</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">RR</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="number">2</span><span class="special">),</span> <span class="number">3</span><span class="special">);</span>
+
+<span class="identifier">cyl_bessel_j</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">NTL</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">quad_float</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="number">2</span><span class="special">),</span> <span class="identifier">NTL</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">RR</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="number">3</span><span class="special">));</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ In the last case, quad_float is convertible to RR, but not vice-versa, so
+ the result will be an NTL::RR. Note that this assumes that you are using
+ a <a class="link" href="../using_udt/use_ntl.html" title="Using With NTL - a High-Precision Floating-Point Library">patched NTL library</a>.

+<p>
+ The library is fully thread safe and re-entrant provided the function and
+ class templates in the library are instantiated with built-in floating point
+ types: i.e. the types <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">float</span></code>,
+ <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">double</span></code> and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">long</span>
+ <span class="keyword">double</span></code>.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ However, the library <span class="bold"><strong>is not thread safe</strong></span>
+ when used with user-defined (i.e. class type) numeric types.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The reason for the latter limitation is the need to initialise symbolic constants
+ using constructs such as:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">static</span> <span class="keyword">const</span> <span class="identifier">T</span> <span class="identifier">coefficient_array</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="special">{</span> <span class="special">...</span> <span class="identifier">list</span> <span class="identifier">of</span> <span class="identifier">values</span> <span class="special">...</span> <span class="special">};</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ Which is always thread safe when T is a built-in floating point type, but
+ not when T is a user defined type: as in this case there is a need for T's
+ constructors to be run, leading to potential race conditions.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ This limitation may be addressed in a future release.

+ Many of the special functions included in this library are also a part
+ of the either the C99 standard or the <a href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2005/n1836.pdf" target="_top">Technical
+ Report on C++ Library Extensions</a>. Therefore this library includes
+ a thin wrapper header <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">math</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">tr1</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">hpp</span></code>
+ that provides compatibility with these two standards.

+<p>

+<p>
+ There are various pros and cons to using the library in this way:

+ </li>
+<li>
+ Standard compatibility.
+ </li>
+</ul></div>
+<p>

+<p>
+ Cons:
+ </p>
+<p>

+ This library now presents the user with a choice:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc">
+<li>
+ To include the header only versions of the functions and have an easier
+ time linking, but a longer compile time.
+ </li>
+<li>
+ To include the TR1 headers and link against an external library.
+ </li>
+</ul></div>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Which option you choose depends largely on how you prefer to work and how
+ your system is set up.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ For example a casual user who just needs the acosh function, would probably
+ be better off including <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">math</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">special_functions</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">acosh</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">hpp</span><span class="special">></span></code>
+ and using <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">math</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">acosh</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">x</span><span class="special">)</span></code> in
+ their code.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ However, for large scale software development where compile times are significant,
+ and where the Boost libraries are already built and installed on the system,
+ then including <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">math</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">tr1</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">hpp</span><span class="special">></span></code> and using <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">math</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">tr1</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">acosh</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">x</span><span class="special">)</span></code>
+ will speed up compile times, reduce object files sizes (since there are
+ no templates being instantiated any more), and also speed up debugging
+ runtimes - since the externally compiled libraries can be compiler optimised,
+ rather than built using full settings - the difference in performance between
+ <a class="link" href="../perf/getting_best.html" title="Getting the Best Performance from this Library">release and debug builds
+ can be as much as 20 times</a>, so for complex applications this can
+ be a big win.

+ bad at inlining code, and performing the kinds of high level transformations
+ that good C++ performance demands (thankfully GCC-4.x is somewhat better

+<p>
+ By and large the performance of this library should be acceptable for most
+ needs. However, you should note that the library's primary emphasis is
+ on accuracy and numerical stability, and <span class="emphasis"><em>not</em></span> speed.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ In terms of the algorithms used, this library aims to use the same "best
+ of breed" algorithms as many other libraries: the principle difference
+ is that this library is implemented in C++ - taking advantage of all the
+ abstraction mechanisms that C++ offers - where as most traditional numeric
+ libraries are implemented in C or FORTRAN. Traditionally languages such
+ as C or FORTRAN are perceived as easier to optimise than more complex languages
+ like C++, so in a sense this library provides a good test of current compiler
+ technology, and the "abstraction penalty" - if any - of C++ compared
+ to other languages.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The two most important things you can do to ensure the best performance
+ from this library are:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<div class="orderedlist"><ol type="1">
+<li>
+ Turn on your compilers optimisations: the difference between "release"
+ and "debug" builds can easily be a <a class="link" href="getting_best.html" title="Getting the Best Performance from this Library">factor
+ of 20</a>.
+ </li>
+<li>
+ Pick your compiler carefully: <a class="link" href="comp_compilers.html" title="Comparing Compilers">performance
+ differences of up to 8 fold</a> have been found between some windows
+ compilers for example.
+ </li>
+</ol></div>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The <a class="link" href="../perf.html" title="Performance">performance section</a> contains
+ more information on the performance of this library, what you can do to
+ fine tune it, and how this library compares to some other open source alternatives.

+ Policies are a powerful fine-grain mechanism that allow you to customise
+ the behaviour of this library according to your needs. There is more information

+ tutorial</a> and the <a class="link" href="pol_ref.html" title="Policy Reference">policy
+ reference</a>.

+ Generally speaking unless you find that the <a class="link" href="pol_tutorial/policy_tut_defaults.html" title="Policies Have Sensible Defaults">default
+ policy behaviour</a> when encountering 'bad' argument values does not
+ meet your needs, you should not need to worry about policies.

+<p>
+ Policies are a compile-time mechanism that allow you to change error-handling
+ or calculation precision either program wide, or at the call site.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Although the policy mechanism itself is rather complicated, in practice
+ it is easy to use, and very flexible.

+ There are some functions that are generic (they are present for all the

+ for certain distributions, but defined for others.

+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">mean</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">cauchy</span><span class="special"><>());</span>

+ The default behaviour is for all such functions to not compile at all -

+ If a statistical distribution is <span class="emphasis"><em>discrete</em></span> then the

+ a real value, so there are definite advantages to returning an integer,

+ Sometimes what you really want to do is bring all the special functions,
+ or all the distributions into a specific namespace-scope, along with a
+ specific policy to use with them. There are two macros defined to assist
+ with that:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">BOOST_MATH_DECLARE_SPECIAL_FUNCTIONS</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">Policy</span><span class="special">)</span>
+</pre>
+<p>

+</pre>
+<p>
+ You can use either of these macros after including any special function
+ or distribution header. For example:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+
+</p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="preprocessor">#include</span> <span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">math</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">special_functions</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">gamma</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">hpp</span><span class="special">></span>

+</pre>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ In this example, using BOOST_MATH_DECLARE_SPECIAL_FUNCTIONS results in
+ a set of thin inline forwarding functions being defined:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">template</span> <span class="special"><</span><span class="keyword">class</span> <span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">></span>

+</pre>
+<p>
+ and so on. Note that while a forwarding function is defined for all the
+ special functions, however, unless you include the specific header for
+ the special function you use (or boost/math/special_functions.hpp to include
+ everything), you will get linker errors from functions that are forward
+ declared, but not defined.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ We can do the same thing with the distributions, but this time we need

+ The <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">normalise</span></code> class template
+ converts one instantiation of the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">policy</span></code>
+ class into a normalised form. This is used internally to reduce code bloat:
+ so that instantiating a special function on <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">policy</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">A</span><span class="special">,</span><span class="identifier">B</span><span class="special">></span></code>
+ or <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">policy</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">B</span><span class="special">,</span><span class="identifier">A</span><span class="special">></span></code> actually both generate the same code
+ internally.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Further more, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">normalise</span></code>
+ can be used to combine a policy with one or more policies: for example
+ many of the special functions will use this to set policies which they
+ don't make use of to their default values, before forwarding to the actual
+ implementation. In this way code bloat is reduced, since the actual implementation
+ depends only on the policy types that they actually use.

+ The default policies used by the library are changed by the usual configuration

+ </p>
+<p>
+ For example, passing <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">-</span><span class="identifier">DBOOST_MATH_DOMAIN_ERROR_POLICY</span><span class="special">=</span><span class="identifier">errno_on_error</span></code>
+ to your compiler will cause domain errors to set <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">errno</span></code> and return a NaN rather than the
+ usual default behaviour of throwing a <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">domain_error</span></code>

+ </p>
+</td></tr>
+</table></div>
+<p>
+ That means there are only two safe ways to use these macros:
+ </p>
+<div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc">
+<li>
+ Edit them in boost/math/tools/user.hpp,
+ so that the defaults are set on an installation-wide basis. Unfortunately
+ this may not be convenient if you are using a pre-installed Boost distribution
+ (on Linux for example).
+ </li>
+<li>
+ Set the defines in your project's Makefile or build environment, so that

+ </li>
+</ul></div>
+<p>
+ What you should <span class="bold"><strong>not</strong></span> do is:
+ </p>
+<div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li>
+ Set the defines in the source file using <code class="computeroutput"><span class="preprocessor">#define</span></code>
+ as doing so almost certainly will break your program, unless you're absolutely
+ certain that the program is restricted to a single translation unit.
+ </li></ul></div>
+<p>
+ And, yes, you will find examples in our test programs where we break this
+ rule: but only because we know there will always be a single translation
+ unit only: <span class="emphasis"><em>don't say that you weren't warned!</em></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The following example demonstrates the effect of setting the macro BOOST_MATH_DOMAIN_ERROR_POLICY
+ when an invalid argument is encountered. For the purposes of this example,
+ we'll pass a negative degrees of freedom parameter to the student's t
+ distribution.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Since we know that this is a single file program we could just add:
+ </p>
+<p>
+
+</p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="preprocessor">#define</span> <span class="identifier">BOOST_MATH_DOMAIN_ERROR_POLICY</span> <span class="identifier">ignore_error</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ to the top of the source file to change the default policy to one that
+ simply returns a NaN when a domain error occurs. Alternatively we could
+ use:
+ </p>
+<p>
+
+</p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="preprocessor">#define</span> <span class="identifier">BOOST_MATH_DOMAIN_ERROR_POLICY</span> <span class="identifier">errno_on_error</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ To ensure the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">errno</span></code>
+ is set when a domain error occurs as well as returning a NaN.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ This is safe provided the program consists of a single translation unit
+ <span class="emphasis"><em>and</em></span> we place the define <span class="emphasis"><em>before</em></span>
+ any #includes. Note that should we add the define after the includes
+ then it will have no effect! A warning such as:
+ </p>
+<p>
+
+</p>
+<pre class="programlisting">warning C4005: 'BOOST_MATH_OVERFLOW_ERROR_POLICY' : macro redefinition</pre>
+<p>

+<p>
+ is a certain sign that it will <span class="emphasis"><em>not</em></span> have the desired

+<pre class="programlisting">Example error handling using Student's t function.
+BOOST_MATH_DOMAIN_ERROR_POLICY is set to: throw_on_error

+ Degrees of freedom argument is -1, but must be > 0 !
+</pre>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Alternatively let's build with:

+<p>
+
+</p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="preprocessor">#define</span> <span class="identifier">BOOST_MATH_DOMAIN_ERROR_POLICY</span> <span class="identifier">ignore_error</span>

+<pre class="programlisting">Example error handling using Student's t function.
+BOOST_MATH_DOMAIN_ERROR_POLICY is set to: ignore_error
+cdf returned a NaN!

+BOOST_MATH_DOMAIN_ERROR_POLICY is set to: errno_on_error

+<p>
+ Sometimes what you want to do is just change a set of policies within the
+ current scope: the one thing you should not do in this situation is use
+ the configuration macros, as this can lead to "One Definition Rule"
+ violations. Instead this library provides a pair of macros especially for
+ this purpose.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Let's consider the special functions first: we can declare a set of forwarding
+ functions that all use a specific policy using the macro BOOST_MATH_DECLARE_SPECIAL_FUNCTIONS(<span class="emphasis"><em>Policy</em></span>).
+ This macro should be used either inside a unique namespace set aside for
+ the purpose, or an unnamed namespace if you just want the functions visible
+ in global scope for the current file only.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Suppose we want <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">C</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">foo</span><span class="special">()</span></code>
+ to behave in a C-compatible way and set <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">errno</span></code> on error rather than throwing
+ any exceptions.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ We'll begin by including the needed header:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+
+</p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="preprocessor">#include</span> <span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">math</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">special_functions</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">hpp</span><span class="special">></span></pre>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Open up the "C" namespace that we'll use for our functions,
+ and define the policy type we want: in this case one that sets ::errno
+ rather than throwing exceptions. Any policies we don't specify here will
+ inherit the defaults:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+
+</p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">namespace</span> <span class="identifier">C</span><span class="special">{</span>

+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ All we need do now is invoke the BOOST_MATH_DECLARE_SPECIAL_FUNCTIONS
+ macro passing our policy type as the single argument:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>

+ This mechanism is particularly useful when we want to define a project-wide
+ policy, and don't want to modify the Boost source or set - possibly fragile
+ and easy to forget - project wide build macros.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The same mechanism works well at file scope as well, by using an unnamed
+ namespace, we can ensure that these declarations don't conflict with any
+ alternate policies present in other translation units:

+ Handling the statistical distributions is very similar except that now
+ the macro BOOST_MATH_DECLARE_DISTRIBUTIONS accepts two parameters: the
+ floating point type to use, and the policy type to apply. For example:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">BOOST_MATH_DECLARE_DISTRIBUTIONS</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="keyword">double</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="identifier">mypolicy</span><span class="special">)</span>

+<p>
+ Results a set of typedefs being defined like this:

+</pre>
+<p>
+ The name of each typedef is the same as the name of the distribution class
+ template, but without the "_distribution" suffix.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Suppose we want a set of distributions to behave as follows:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc">

+ </li>
+<li>
+ Return the closest integer result from the quantiles of discrete distributions.

+<dd>
+<p>
+ The quantile function will by default return an integer result that
+ has been <span class="emphasis"><em>rounded outwards</em></span>. That is to say lower
+ quantiles (where the probability is less than 0.5) are rounded downward,
+ and upper quantiles (where the probability is greater than 0.5) are
+ rounded upwards. This behaviour ensures that if an X% quantile is requested,
+ then <span class="emphasis"><em>at least</em></span> the requested coverage will be present
+ in the central region, and <span class="emphasis"><em>no more than</em></span> the requested
+ coverage will be present in the tails.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ This behaviour can be changed so that the quantile functions are rounded
+ differently, or even return a real-valued result using <a class="link" href="../pol_overview.html" title="Policy Overview">Policies</a>.
+ It is strongly recommended that you read the tutorial <a class="link" href="understand_dis_quant.html" title="Understanding Quantiles of Discrete Distributions">Understanding
+ Quantiles of Discrete Distributions</a> before using the quantile
+ function on a discrete distribution. The <a class="link" href="../pol_ref/discrete_quant_ref.html" title="Discrete Quantile Policies">reference
+ docs</a> describe how to change the rounding policy for these distributions.

+ Understanding Quantiles of Discrete Distributions</a>
+</h4></div></div></div>
+<p>
+ Discrete distributions present us with a problem when calculating the quantile:
+ we are starting from a continuous real-valued variable - the probability
+ - but the result (the value of the random variable) should really be discrete.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Consider for example a Binomial distribution, with a sample size of 50,
+ and a success fraction of 0.5. There are a variety of ways we can plot
+ a discrete distribution, but if we plot the PDF as a step-function then
+ it looks something like this:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../graphs/binomial_pdf.png" alt="binomial_pdf"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Now lets suppose that the user asks for a the quantile that corresponds
+ to a probability of 0.05, if we zoom in on the CDF for that region here's
+ what we see:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../graphs/binomial_quantile_1.png" alt="binomial_quantile_1"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ As can be seen there is no random variable that corresponds to a probability
+ of exactly 0.05, so we're left with two choices as shown in the figure:
+ </p>
+<div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc">
+<li>
+ We could round the result down to 18.
+ </li>
+<li>
+ We could round the result up to 19.
+ </li>
+</ul></div>
+<p>
+ In fact there's actually a third choice as well: we could "pretend"
+ that the distribution was continuous and return a real valued result: in
+ this case we would calculate a result of approximately 18.701 (this accurately
+ reflects the fact that the result is nearer to 19 than 18).
+ </p>
+<p>
+ By using policies we can offer any of the above as options, but that still
+ leaves the question: <span class="emphasis"><em>What is actually the right thing to do?</em></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ And in particular: <span class="emphasis"><em>What policy should we use by default?</em></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ In coming to an answer we should realise that:
+ </p>
+<div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc">
+<li>
+ Calculating an integer result is often much faster than calculating a
+ real-valued result: in fact in our tests it was up to 20 times faster.
+ </li>
+<li>
+ Normally people calculate quantiles so that they can perform a test of
+ some kind: <span class="emphasis"><em>"If the random variable is less than N then
+ we can reject our null-hypothesis with 90% confidence."</em></span>
+</li>
+</ul></div>
+<p>
+ So there is a genuine benefit to calculating an integer result as well
+ as it being "the right thing to do" from a philosophical point
+ of view. What's more if someone asks for a quantile at 0.05, then we can
+ normally assume that they are asking for <span class="emphasis"><em><span class="bold"><strong>at
+ least</strong></span> 95% of the probability to the right of the value chosen,
+ and <span class="bold"><strong>no more than</strong></span> 5% of the probability
+ to the left of the value chosen.</em></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ In the above binomial example we would therefore round the result down
+ to 18.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The converse applies to upper-quantiles: If the probability is greater
+ than 0.5 we would want to round the quantile up, <span class="emphasis"><em>so that <span class="bold"><strong>at least</strong></span> the requested probability is to the left
+ of the value returned, and <span class="bold"><strong>no more than</strong></span>
+ 1 - the requested probability is to the right of the value returned.</em></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Likewise for two-sided intervals, we would round lower quantiles down,
+ and upper quantiles up. This ensures that we have <span class="emphasis"><em>at least the
+ requested probability in the central region</em></span> and <span class="emphasis"><em>no
+ more than 1 minus the requested probability in the tail areas.</em></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ For example, taking our 50 sample binomial distribution with a success
+ fraction of 0.5, if we wanted a two sided 90% confidence interval, then
+ we would ask for the 0.05 and 0.95 quantiles with the results <span class="emphasis"><em>rounded
+ outwards</em></span> so that <span class="emphasis"><em>at least 90% of the probability</em></span>
+ is in the central area:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../graphs/binomial_pdf_3.png" alt="binomial_pdf_3"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ So far so good, but there is in fact a trap waiting for the unwary here:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">quantile</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">binomial</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="number">50</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="number">0.5</span><span class="special">),</span> <span class="number">0.05</span><span class="special">);</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ returns 18 as the result, which is what we would expect from the graph
+ above, and indeed there is no x greater than 18 for which:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">cdf</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">binomial</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="number">50</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="number">0.5</span><span class="special">),</span> <span class="identifier">x</span><span class="special">)</span> <span class="special"><=</span> <span class="number">0.05</span><span class="special">;</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ However:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">quantile</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">binomial</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="number">50</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="number">0.5</span><span class="special">),</span> <span class="number">0.95</span><span class="special">);</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ returns 31, and indeed while there is no x less than 31 for which:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">cdf</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">binomial</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="number">50</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="number">0.5</span><span class="special">),</span> <span class="identifier">x</span><span class="special">)</span> <span class="special">>=</span> <span class="number">0.95</span><span class="special">;</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ We might naively expect that for this symmetrical distribution the result
+ would be 32 (since 32 = 50 - 18), but we need to remember that the cdf
+ of the binomial is <span class="emphasis"><em>inclusive</em></span> of the random variable.
+ So while the left tail area <span class="emphasis"><em>includes</em></span> the quantile
+ returned, the right tail area always excludes an upper quantile value:
+ since that "belongs" to the central area.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Look at the graph above to see what's going on here: the lower quantile
+ of 18 belongs to the left tail, so any value <= 18 is in the left tail.
+ The upper quantile of 31 on the other hand belongs to the central area,
+ so the tail area actually starts at 32, so any value > 31 is in the
+ right tail.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Therefore if U and L are the upper and lower quantiles respectively, then
+ a random variable X is in the tail area - where we would reject the null
+ hypothesis if:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">X</span> <span class="special"><=</span> <span class="identifier">L</span> <span class="special">||</span> <span class="identifier">X</span> <span class="special">></span> <span class="identifier">U</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ And the a variable X is inside the central region if:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">L</span> <span class="special"><</span> <span class="identifier">X</span> <span class="special"><=</span> <span class="identifier">U</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ The moral here is to <span class="emphasis"><em>always be very careful with your comparisons
+ when dealing with a discrete distribution</em></span>, and if in doubt,
+ <span class="emphasis"><em>base your comparisons on CDF's instead</em></span>.

+ To understand how the rounding policies for the discrete distributions

+ fraction of 0.5 once again, and calculate all the possible quantiles
+ at 0.05 and 0.95.

+ So that when we call <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">tgamma</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">z</span><span class="special">)</span></code> we really end up calling <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">math</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">tgamma</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">z</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="identifier">user_error_policy</span><span class="special">())</span></code>,

+ The previous example was all well and good, but the custom error handlers
+ didn't really do much of any use. In this example we'll implement all
+ the custom handlers and show how the information provided to them can
+ be used to generate nice formatted error messages.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Each error handler has the general form:
+ </p>
+<p>
+
+</p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">template</span> <span class="special"><</span><span class="keyword">class</span> <span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">></span>

+ </p>
+<p>

+<div class="variablelist">

+<dt><span class="term">const char* message</span></dt>
+<dd><p>
+ A message associated with the error, normally this contains a %1%
+ format specifier that should be replaced with the value of <span class="emphasis"><em>value</em></span>:
+ however note that overflow and underflow messages do not contain

+ is immaterial in these cases).
+ </p></dd>
+<dt><span class="term">const T& value</span></dt>
+<dd><p>
+ The value that caused the error: either an argument to the function

+ </p></dd>
+</dl>
+</div>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ As before we'll include the headers we need first:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>

+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Next we'll implement the error handlers for each type of error, starting
+ with domain errors:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+
+</p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">namespace</span> <span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">{</span> <span class="keyword">namespace</span> <span class="identifier">math</span><span class="special">{</span> <span class="keyword">namespace</span> <span class="identifier">policies</span><span class="special">{</span>

+<span class="special">{</span></pre>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ We'll begin with a bit of defensive programming:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+
+</p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">if</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">function</span> <span class="special">==</span> <span class="number">0</span><span class="special">)</span>

+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Next we'll format the name of the function with the name of type T:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+
+</p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">string</span> <span class="identifier">msg</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="string">"Error in function "</span><span class="special">);</span>

+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Then likewise format the error message with the value of parameter <span class="emphasis"><em>val</em></span>,
+ making sure we output all the digits of <span class="emphasis"><em>val</em></span>:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+
+</p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">msg</span> <span class="special">+=</span> <span class="string">": \n"</span><span class="special">;</span>

+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Now we just have to do something with the message, we could throw an
+ exception, but for the purposes of this example we'll just dump the message
+ to std::cerr:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+
+</p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">cerr</span> <span class="special"><<</span> <span class="identifier">msg</span> <span class="special"><<</span> <span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">endl</span><span class="special">;</span></pre>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Finally the only sensible value we can return from a domain error is
+ a NaN:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+
+</p>
+<pre class="programlisting"> <span class="keyword">return</span> <span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">numeric_limits</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">>::</span><span class="identifier">quiet_NaN</span><span class="special">();</span>
+<span class="special">}</span></pre>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Pole errors are essentially a special case of domain errors, so in this
+ example we'll just return the result of a domain error:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+
+</p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">template</span> <span class="special"><</span><span class="keyword">class</span> <span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">></span>

+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Overflow errors are very similar to domain errors, except that there's
+ no %1% format specifier in the <span class="emphasis"><em>message</em></span> parameter:

+<p>
+ A policy is a compile-time mechanism for customising the behaviour of a
+ special function, or a statistical distribution. With Policies you can
+ control:
+ </p>
+<div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc">
+<li>
+ What action to take when an error occurs.
+ </li>
+<li>
+ What happens when you call a function that is mathematically undefined
+ (for example if you ask for the mean of a Cauchy distribution).
+ </li>
+<li>
+ What happens when you ask for a quantile of a discrete distribution.
+ </li>
+<li>
+ Whether the library is allowed to internally promote <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">float</span></code>
+ to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">double</span></code> and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">double</span></code> to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">long</span>
+ <span class="keyword">double</span></code> in order to improve precision.
+ </li>
+<li>
+ What precision to use when calculating the result.
+ </li>
+</ul></div>
+<p>
+ Some of these policies could arguably be runtime variables, but then we
+ couldn't use compile-time dispatch internally to select the best evaluation
+ method for the given policies.

+ and <a class="link" href="bessel.html" title="Bessel Functions of the First and Second Kinds">cyl_neumann</a>
+ return the result of the Bessel functions of the first and second kinds
+ respectively:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ cyl_bessel_j(v, x) = J<sub>v</sub>(x)
+ </p>
+<p>
+ cyl_neumann(v, x) = Y<sub>v</sub>(x) = N<sub>v</sub>(x)

+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/bessel3.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The return type of these functions is computed using the <a class="link" href="../../main_overview/result_type.html" title="Calculation of the Type of the Result"><span class="emphasis"><em>result
+ type calculation rules</em></span></a> when T1 and T2 are different types.
+ The functions are also optimised for the relatively common case that T1
+ is an integer.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The final <a class="link" href="../../policy.html" title="Policies">Policy</a> argument
+ is optional and can be used to control the behaviour of the function:
+ how it handles errors, what level of precision to use etc. Refer to the
+ <a class="link" href="../../policy.html" title="Policies">policy documentation for more details</a>.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The functions return the result of <a class="link" href="../../main_overview/error_handling.html#domain_error">domain_error</a>
+ whenever the result is undefined or complex. For <a class="link" href="bessel.html" title="Bessel Functions of the First and Second Kinds">cyl_bessel_j</a>
+ this occurs when <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">x</span> <span class="special"><</span>
+ <span class="number">0</span></code> and v is not an integer, or when
+ <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">x</span> <span class="special">==</span>
+ <span class="number">0</span></code> and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">v</span>
+ <span class="special">!=</span> <span class="number">0</span></code>.

+ <a class="link" href="bessel.html#math_toolkit.special.bessel.bessel.accuracy">Accuracy</a>
+ </h5>
+<p>
+ The following tables show how the accuracy of these functions varies on
+ various platforms, along with comparisons to the GSL-1.9
+ and Cephes libraries.
+ Note that the cyclic nature of these functions means that they have an
+ infinite number of irrational roots: in general these functions have arbitrarily
+ large <span class="emphasis"><em>relative</em></span> errors when the arguments are sufficiently
+ close to a root. Of course the absolute error in such cases is always small.
+ Note that only results for the widest floating-point type on the system
+ are given as narrower types have <a class="link" href="../../backgrounders/relative_error.html#zero_error">effectively
+ zero error</a>. All values are relative errors in units of epsilon.

+<p>
+ The implementation is mostly about filtering off various special cases:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ When <span class="emphasis"><em>x</em></span> is negative, then the order <span class="emphasis"><em>v</em></span>
+ must be an integer or the result is a domain error. If the order is an
+ integer then the function is odd for odd orders and even for even orders,
+ so we reflect to <span class="emphasis"><em>x > 0</em></span>.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ When the order <span class="emphasis"><em>v</em></span> is negative then the reflection formulae
+ can be used to move to <span class="emphasis"><em>v > 0</em></span>:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/bessel9.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/bessel10.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Note that if the order is an integer, then these formulae reduce to:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ J<sub>-n</sub> = (-1)<sup>n</sup>J<sub>n</sub>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Y<sub>-n</sub> = (-1)<sup>n</sup>Y<sub>n</sub>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ However, in general, a negative order implies that we will need to compute
+ both J and Y.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ When <span class="emphasis"><em>x</em></span> is large compared to the order <span class="emphasis"><em>v</em></span>
+ then the asymptotic expansions for large <span class="emphasis"><em>x</em></span> in M. Abramowitz
+ and I.A. Stegun, <span class="emphasis"><em>Handbook of Mathematical Functions</em></span>
+ 9.2.19 are used (these were found to be more reliable than those in A&S
+ 9.2.5).
+ </p>
+<p>
+ When the order <span class="emphasis"><em>v</em></span> is an integer the method first relates
+ the result to J<sub>0</sub>, J<sub>1</sub>, Y<sub>0</sub> and Y<sub>1</sub> using either forwards or backwards recurrence
+ (Miller's algorithm) depending upon which is stable. The values for J<sub>0</sub>,
+ J<sub>1</sub>, Y<sub>0</sub> and Y<sub>1</sub> are calculated using the rational minimax approximations on
+ root-bracketing intervals for small <span class="emphasis"><em>|x|</em></span> and Hankel
+ asymptotic expansion for large <span class="emphasis"><em>|x|</em></span>. The coefficients
+ are from:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ W.J. Cody, <span class="emphasis"><em>ALGORITHM 715: SPECFUN - A Portable FORTRAN Package
+ of Special Function Routines and Test Drivers</em></span>, ACM Transactions
+ on Mathematical Software, vol 19, 22 (1993).
+ </p>
+<p>
+ and
+ </p>
+<p>
+ J.F. Hart et al, <span class="emphasis"><em>Computer Approximations</em></span>, John Wiley
+ & Sons, New York, 1968.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ These approximations are accurate to around 19 decimal digits: therefore
+ these methods are not used when type T has more than 64 binary digits.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ When <span class="emphasis"><em>x</em></span> is small, J<sub>x</sub> is best computed directly from
+ the series:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/bessel2.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ In the general case we compute J<sub>v</sub> and Y<sub>v</sub> simultaneously.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ To get the initial values, let μ = ν - floor(ν + 1/2), then μ is the fractional
+ part of ν such that |μ| <= 1/2 (we need this for convergence later). The
+ idea is to calculate J<sub>μ</sub>(x), J<sub>μ+1</sub>(x), Y<sub>μ</sub>(x), Y<sub>μ+1</sub>(x) and use them to obtain
+ J<sub>ν</sub>(x), Y<sub>ν</sub>(x).
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The algorithm is called Steed's method, which needs two continued fractions
+ as well as the Wronskian:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/bessel8.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/bessel11.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/bessel12.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ See: F.S. Acton, <span class="emphasis"><em>Numerical Methods that Work</em></span>, The
+ Mathematical Association of America, Washington, 1997.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The continued fractions are computed using the modified Lentz's method
+ (W.J. Lentz, <span class="emphasis"><em>Generating Bessel functions in Mie scattering calculations
+ using continued fractions</em></span>, Applied Optics, vol 15, 668 (1976)).
+ Their convergence rates depend on <span class="emphasis"><em>x</em></span>, therefore we
+ need different strategies for large <span class="emphasis"><em>x</em></span> and small <span class="emphasis"><em>x</em></span>.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="emphasis"><em>x > v</em></span>, CF1 needs O(<span class="emphasis"><em>x</em></span>) iterations
+ to converge, CF2 converges rapidly
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="emphasis"><em>x <= v</em></span>, CF1 converges rapidly, CF2 fails to converge
+ when <span class="emphasis"><em>x</em></span> <code class="literal">-></code> 0
+ </p>
+<p>
+ When <span class="emphasis"><em>x</em></span> is large (<span class="emphasis"><em>x</em></span> > 2), both
+ continued fractions converge (CF1 may be slow for really large <span class="emphasis"><em>x</em></span>).
+ J<sub>μ</sub>, J<sub>μ+1</sub>, Y<sub>μ</sub>, Y<sub>μ+1</sub> can be calculated by
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/bessel13.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ where
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/bessel14.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ J<sub>ν</sub> and Y<sub>μ</sub> are then calculated using backward (Miller's algorithm) and forward
+ recurrence respectively.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ When <span class="emphasis"><em>x</em></span> is small (<span class="emphasis"><em>x</em></span> <= 2),
+ CF2 convergence may fail (but CF1 works very well). The solution here is
+ Temme's series:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/bessel15.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ where
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/bessel16.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ g<sub>k</sub> and h<sub>k</sub>
+are also computed by recursions (involving gamma functions), but
+ the formulas are a little complicated, readers are refered to N.M. Temme,
+ <span class="emphasis"><em>On the numerical evaluation of the ordinary Bessel function of
+ the second kind</em></span>, Journal of Computational Physics, vol 21, 343
+ (1976). Note Temme's series converge only for |μ| <= 1/2.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ As the previous case, Y<sub>ν</sub> is calculated from the forward recurrence, so is
+ Y<sub>ν+1</sub>. With these two values and f<sub>ν</sub>, the Wronskian yields J<sub>ν</sub>(x) directly without
+ backward recurrence.

+<p>
+ The following are handled as special cases first:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ When computing I<sub>v</sub> for <span class="emphasis"><em>x < 0</em></span>, then ν must be an integer
+ or a domain error occurs. If ν is an integer, then the function is odd if
+ ν is odd and even if ν is even, and we can reflect to <span class="emphasis"><em>x > 0</em></span>.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ For I<sub>v</sub> with v equal to 0, 1 or 0.5 are handled as special cases.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The 0 and 1 cases use minimax rational approximations on finite and infinite
+ intervals. The coefficients are from:
+ </p>
+<div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc">
+<li>
+ J.M. Blair and C.A. Edwards, <span class="emphasis"><em>Stable rational minimax approximations
+ to the modified Bessel functions I_0(x) and I_1(x)</em></span>, Atomic
+ Energy of Canada Limited Report 4928, Chalk River, 1974.
+ </li>
+<li>
+ S. Moshier, <span class="emphasis"><em>Methods and Programs for Mathematical Functions</em></span>,
+ Ellis Horwood Ltd, Chichester, 1989.
+ </li>
+</ul></div>
+<p>
+ While the 0.5 case is a simple trigonometric function:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ I<sub>0.5</sub>(x) = sqrt(2 / πx) * sinh(x)
+ </p>
+<p>
+ For K<sub>v</sub> with <span class="emphasis"><em>v</em></span> an integer, the result is calculated
+ using the recurrence relation:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/mbessel5.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ starting from K<sub>0</sub> and K<sub>1</sub> which are calculated using rational the approximations
+ above. These rational approximations are accurate to around 19 digits,
+ and are therefore only used when T has no more than 64 binary digits of
+ precision.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ In the general case, we first normalize ν to [<code class="literal">0, [inf</code>])
+ with the help of the reflection formulae:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/mbessel9.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/mbessel10.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Let μ = ν - floor(ν + 1/2), then μ is the fractional part of ν such that |μ| <=
+ 1/2 (we need this for convergence later). The idea is to calculate K<sub>μ</sub>(x)
+ and K<sub>μ+1</sub>(x), and use them to obtain I<sub>ν</sub>(x) and K<sub>ν</sub>(x).
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The algorithm is proposed by Temme in N.M. Temme, <span class="emphasis"><em>On the numerical
+ evaluation of the modified bessel function of the third kind</em></span>,
+ Journal of Computational Physics, vol 19, 324 (1975), which needs two continued
+ fractions as well as the Wronskian:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/mbessel11.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/mbessel12.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/mbessel8.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The continued fractions are computed using the modified Lentz's method
+ (W.J. Lentz, <span class="emphasis"><em>Generating Bessel functions in Mie scattering calculations
+ using continued fractions</em></span>, Applied Optics, vol 15, 668 (1976)).
+ Their convergence rates depend on <span class="emphasis"><em>x</em></span>, therefore we
+ need different strategies for large <span class="emphasis"><em>x</em></span> and small <span class="emphasis"><em>x</em></span>.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="emphasis"><em>x > v</em></span>, CF1 needs O(<span class="emphasis"><em>x</em></span>) iterations
+ to converge, CF2 converges rapidly.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="emphasis"><em>x <= v</em></span>, CF1 converges rapidly, CF2 fails to converge
+ when <span class="emphasis"><em>x</em></span> <code class="literal">-></code> 0.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ When <span class="emphasis"><em>x</em></span> is large (<span class="emphasis"><em>x</em></span> > 2), both
+ continued fractions converge (CF1 may be slow for really large <span class="emphasis"><em>x</em></span>).
+ K<sub>μ</sub> and K<sub>μ+1</sub>
+can be calculated by
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/mbessel13.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ where
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/mbessel14.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="emphasis"><em>S</em></span> is also a series that is summed along with CF2,
+ see I.J. Thompson and A.R. Barnett, <span class="emphasis"><em>Modified Bessel functions
+ I_v and K_v of real order and complex argument to selected accuracy</em></span>,
+ Computer Physics Communications, vol 47, 245 (1987).
+ </p>
+<p>
+ When <span class="emphasis"><em>x</em></span> is small (<span class="emphasis"><em>x</em></span> <= 2),
+ CF2 convergence may fail (but CF1 works very well). The solution here is
+ Temme's series:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/mbessel15.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ where
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/mbessel16.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ f<sub>k</sub> and h<sub>k</sub>
+are also computed by recursions (involving gamma functions), but
+ the formulas are a little complicated, readers are referred to N.M. Temme,
+ <span class="emphasis"><em>On the numerical evaluation of the modified Bessel function of
+ the third kind</em></span>, Journal of Computational Physics, vol 19, 324
+ (1975). Note: Temme's series converge only for |μ| <= 1/2.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ K<sub>ν</sub>(x) is then calculated from the forward recurrence, as is K<sub>ν+1</sub>(x). With
+ these two values and f<sub>ν</sub>, the Wronskian yields I<sub>ν</sub>(x) directly.

+ Perhaps more than any other special functions the elliptic integrals
+ are expressed in a variety of different ways. In particular, the final
+ parameter <span class="emphasis"><em>k</em></span> (the modulus) may be expressed using
+ a modular angle α, or a parameter <span class="emphasis"><em>m</em></span>. These are related
+ by:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ k = sinα
+ </p>
+<p>
+ m = k<sup>2</sup> = sin<sup>2</sup>α
+ </p>
+<p>
+ So that the integral of the third kind (for example) may be expressed

+ </p>
+<p>
+ Π(n, φ, k)
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Π(n, φ \ α)
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Π(n, φ| m)
+ </p>
+<p>
+ To further complicate matters, some texts refer to the <span class="emphasis"><em>complement

+ </p>
+<p>
+ 1 - m = 1 - k<sup>2</sup> = cos<sup>2</sup>α
+ </p>
+<p>
+ This implementation uses <span class="emphasis"><em>k</em></span> throughout: this matches

+ us reasonably independent test data. Using our test data to test other
+ "known good" implementations also provides an additional sanity
+ check.

+ <a class="link" href="expint_i.html#math_toolkit.special.expint.expint_i.implementation">Implementation</a>
+ </h5>
+<p>
+ For x < 0 this function just calls <a class="link" href="expint_n.html" title="Exponential Integral En">zeta</a>(1,
+ -x): which in turn is implemented in terms of rational approximations when
+ the type of x has 113 or fewer bits of precision.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ For x > 0 the generic version is implemented using the infinte series:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/expint_i_2.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ However, when the precision of the argument type is known at compile time
+ and is 113 bits or less, then rational approximations <a class="link" href="../../backgrounders/implementation.html#math_toolkit.backgrounders.implementation.rational_approximations_used">devised
+ by JM</a> are used.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ For 0 < z < 6 a root-preserving approximation of the form:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/expint_i_3.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ is used, where z<sub>0</sub> is the positive root of the function, and R(z/3 - 1) is
+ a minimax rational approximation rescaled so that it is evaluated over
+ [-1,1]. Note that while the rational approximation over [0,6] converges
+ rapidly to the minimax solution it is rather ill-conditioned in practice.
+ Cody and Thacher
+ <sup>[<a name="id776481" href="#ftn.id776481" class="footnote">2</a>]</sup>
+ experienced the same issue and converted the polynomials into Chebeshev
+ form to ensure stable computation. By experiment we found that the polynomials
+ are just as stable in polynomial as Chebyshev form, <span class="emphasis"><em>provided</em></span>
+ they are computed over the interval [-1,1].
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Over the a series of intervals [a,b] and [b,INF] the rational approximation
+ takes the form:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/expint_i_4.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ where <span class="emphasis"><em>c</em></span> is a constant, and R(t) is a minimax solution
+ optimised for low absolute error compared to <span class="emphasis"><em>c</em></span>. Variable
+ <span class="emphasis"><em>t</em></span> is <code class="computeroutput"><span class="number">1</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">z</span></code> when
+ the range in infinite and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="number">2</span><span class="identifier">z</span><span class="special">/(</span><span class="identifier">b</span><span class="special">-</span><span class="identifier">a</span><span class="special">)</span>

+ z to the interval [-1,1]. As before rational approximations over arbitrary
+ intervals were found to be ill-conditioned: Cody and Thacher solved this
+ issue by converting the polynomials to their J-Fraction equivalent. However,
+ as long as the interval of evaluation was [-1,1] and the number of terms
+ carefully chosen, it was found that the polynomials <span class="emphasis"><em>could</em></span>
+ be evaluated to suitable precision: error rates are typically 2 to 3 epsilon
+ which is comparible to the error rate that Cody and Thacher achieved using
+ J-Fractions, but marginally more efficient given that fewer divisions are
+ involved.

+ This library now presents the user with a choice:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc">
+<li>
+ To include the header only versions of the functions and have an easier
+ time linking, but a longer compile time.
+ </li>
+<li>
+ To include the TR1 headers and link against an external library.
+ </li>
+</ul></div>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Which option you choose depends largely on how you prefer to work and
+ how your system is set up.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ For example a casual user who just needs the acosh function, would probably
+ be better off including <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">math</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">special_functions</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">acosh</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">hpp</span><span class="special">></span></code>
+ and using <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">math</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">acosh</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">x</span><span class="special">)</span></code>
+ in their code.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ However, for large scale software development where compile times are
+ significant, and where the Boost libraries are already built and installed
+ on the system, then including <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">math</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">tr1</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">hpp</span><span class="special">></span></code>
+ and using <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">math</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">tr1</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">acosh</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">x</span><span class="special">)</span></code>
+ will speed up compile times, reduce object files sizes (since there are
+ no templates being instantiated any more), and also speed up debugging
+ runtimes - since the externally compiled libraries can be compiler optimised,
+ rather than built using full settings - the difference in performance
+ between <a class="link" href="../../perf/getting_best.html" title="Getting the Best Performance from this Library">release and debug
+ builds can be as much as 20 times</a>, so for complex applications
+ this can be a big win.

+ The hyperbolic sine is one to one on the set of real numbers, with range

+ on the set of real numbers but with range <code class="literal">[0;+∞[</code>, and

+ <code class="literal">]-∞;+1[</code> onto <code class="literal">]-∞;-1[</code> (and from <code class="literal">]+1;+∞[</code>

+ and Usage</a>
+ </h5>
+<p>
+ Computing the power of a number with an exponent that is known at compile
+ time is a common need for programmers. In such cases, the usual method
+ is to avoid the overhead implied by the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">pow</span></code>,
+ <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">powf</span></code> and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">powl</span></code> C functions by hardcoding an expression
+ such as:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="comment">// Hand-written 8th power of a 'base' variable
+</span><span class="keyword">double</span> <span class="identifier">result</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="identifier">base</span><span class="special">*</span><span class="identifier">base</span><span class="special">*</span><span class="identifier">base</span><span class="special">*</span><span class="identifier">base</span><span class="special">*</span><span class="identifier">base</span><span class="special">*</span><span class="identifier">base</span><span class="special">*</span><span class="identifier">base</span><span class="special">*</span><span class="identifier">base</span><span class="special">;</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ However, this kind of expression is not really readable (knowing the value
+ of the exponent involves counting the number of occurrences of <span class="emphasis"><em>base</em></span>),
+ error-prone (it's easy to forget an occurrence), syntactically bulky, and
+ non-optimal in terms of performance.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The pow function of Boost.Math helps writing this kind expression along
+ with solving all the problems listed above:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="comment">// 8th power of a 'base' variable using math::pow
+</span><span class="keyword">double</span> <span class="identifier">result</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="identifier">pow</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="number">8</span><span class="special">>(</span><span class="identifier">base</span><span class="special">);</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ The expression is now shorter, easier to read, safer, and even faster.
+ Indeed, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">pow</span></code> will compute
+ the expression such that only log2(N) products are made for a power of
+ N. For instance in the example above, the resulting expression will be
+ the same as if we had written this, with only one computation of each identical
+ subexpression:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="comment">// Internal effect of pow<8>(base)
+</span><span class="keyword">double</span> <span class="identifier">result</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="special">((</span><span class="identifier">base</span><span class="special">*</span><span class="identifier">base</span><span class="special">)*(</span><span class="identifier">base</span><span class="special">*</span><span class="identifier">base</span><span class="special">))*((</span><span class="identifier">base</span><span class="special">*</span><span class="identifier">base</span><span class="special">)*(</span><span class="identifier">base</span><span class="special">*</span><span class="identifier">base</span><span class="special">));</span>
+</pre>

+ Two cases of errors can occur when using <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">pow</span></code>:
+ </p>
+<div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc">
+<li>
+ In case of null base and negative exponent, an <a class="link" href="../../main_overview/error_handling.html#overflow_error">overflow_error</a>
+ occurs since this operation is a division by 0 (it equals to 1/0).
+ </li>
+<li>
+ In case of null exponent, an <a class="link" href="../../main_overview/error_handling.html#indeterminate_result_error">indeterminate_result_error</a>
+ occurs since the result of a null power is indeterminate. Those errors
+ follow the <a class="link" href="../../main_overview/error_handling.html" title="Error Handling">general

+ </li>
+</ul></div>
+<p>
+ The default overflow error policy is <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">throw_on_error</span></code>.
+ A call like <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">pow</span><span class="special"><-</span><span class="number">2</span><span class="special">>(</span><span class="number">0</span><span class="special">)</span></code> will thus throw a <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">overflow_error</span></code>
+ exception. As shown in the link given above, other error handling policies
+ can be used:
+ </p>
+<div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc">
+<li>
+<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">errno_on_error</span></code>: Sets
+ <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">errno</span></code>

+ must be defined by the user.
+ </li>
+</ul></div>
+<p>
+ The default indeterminate result error policy is <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">ignore_error</span></code>,
+ which for this function returns 1 since it's the most commonly chosen result
+ for a power of 0. Here again, other error handling policies can be used:
+ </p>
+<div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc">
+<li>
+<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">throw_on_error</span></code>: Throws
+ <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">domain_error</span></code>

+ <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">errno</span></code>
+ to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">EDOM</span></code> and returns 1.
+ </li>
+<li>
+<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">user_error</span></code>: Returns the

+ </li>
+</ul></div>
+<p>
+ Here is an example of error handling customization where we want to specify
+ the result that has to be returned in case of error. We will thus use the
+ <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">user_error</span></code> policy, by passing

+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">log</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="number">1</span><span class="special">+</span><span class="identifier">x</span><span class="special">)</span> <span class="special">==</span> <span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">log</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="number">1</span><span class="special">+</span><span class="identifier">x</span><span class="special">)</span> <span class="special">*</span> <span class="identifier">x</span><span class="special">)</span> <span class="special">/</span> <span class="special">((</span><span class="number">1</span><span class="special">-</span><span class="identifier">x</span><span class="special">)</span> <span class="special">-</span> <span class="number">1</span><span class="special">)</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ However, experience has shown that these methods tend to fail quite spectacularly

+ the series expansion method seems to be reasonably immune to optimizer-induced

+<p>
+ Traditional methods of evaluating the beta function either involve evaluating
+ the gamma functions directly, or taking logarithms and then exponentiating
+ the result. However, the former is prone to overflows for even very modest
+ arguments, while the latter is prone to cancellation errors. As an alternative,
+ if we regard the gamma function as a white-box containing the <a class="link" href="../../backgrounders/lanczos.html" title="The Lanczos Approximation">Lanczos
+ approximation</a>, then we can combine the power terms:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/beta2.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ which is almost the ideal solution, however almost all of the error occurs
+ in evaluating the power terms when <span class="emphasis"><em>a</em></span> or <span class="emphasis"><em>b</em></span>
+ are large. If we assume that <span class="emphasis"><em>a > b</em></span> then the larger
+ of the two power terms can be reduced by a factor of <span class="emphasis"><em>b</em></span>,
+ which immediately cuts the maximum error in half:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/beta3.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ This may not be the final solution, but it is very competitive compared
+ to other implementation methods.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The generic implementation - where no <a class="link" href="../../backgrounders/lanczos.html" title="The Lanczos Approximation">Lanczos
+ approximation</a> approximation is available - is implemented in a very
+ similar way to the generic version of the gamma function. Again in order
+ to avoid numerical overflow the power terms that prefix the series and
+ continued fraction parts are collected together into:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/beta8.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ where la, lb and lc are the integration limits used for a, b, and a+b.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ There are a few special cases worth mentioning:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ When <span class="emphasis"><em>a</em></span> or <span class="emphasis"><em>b</em></span> are less than one,
+ we can use the recurrence relations:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/beta4.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/beta5.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ to move to a more favorable region where they are both greater than 1.

+ <a class="link" href="ibeta_function.html#math_toolkit.special.sf_beta.ibeta_function.description">Description</a>
+ </h5>
+<p>
+ There are four <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incomplete_beta_function" target="_top">incomplete
+ beta functions</a> : two are normalised versions (also known as <span class="emphasis"><em>regularized</em></span>
+ beta functions) that return values in the range [0, 1], and two are non-normalised
+ and return values in the range [0, <a class="link" href="beta_function.html" title="Beta">beta</a>(a,
+ b)]. Users interested in statistical applications should use the normalised
+ (or regularized
+ ) versions (ibeta and ibetac).
+ </p>
+<p>
+ All of these functions require <span class="emphasis"><em>a > 0</em></span>, <span class="emphasis"><em>b
+ > 0</em></span> and <span class="emphasis"><em>0 <= x <= 1</em></span>.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The return type of these functions is computed using the <a class="link" href="../../main_overview/result_type.html" title="Calculation of the Type of the Result"><span class="emphasis"><em>result
+ type calculation rules</em></span></a> when T1, T2 and T3 are different
+ types.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The final <a class="link" href="../../policy.html" title="Policies">Policy</a> argument
+ is optional and can be used to control the behaviour of the function:
+ how it handles errors, what level of precision to use etc. Refer to the
+ <a class="link" href="../../policy.html" title="Policies">policy documentation for more details</a>.

+ Note that the results for 80 and 128-bit long doubles are noticeably higher

+ <a class="link" href="ibeta_function.html#math_toolkit.special.sf_beta.ibeta_function.testing">Testing</a>
+ </h5>
+<p>
+ There are two sets of tests: spot tests compare values taken from <a href="http://functions.wolfram.com/webMathematica/FunctionEvaluation.jsp?name=BetaRegularized" target="_top">Mathworld's
+ online function evaluator</a> with this implementation: they provide
+ a basic "sanity check" for the implementation, with one spot-test
+ in each implementation-domain (see implementation notes below).
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Accuracy tests use data generated at very high precision (with <a href="http://shoup.net/ntl/doc/RR.txt" target="_top">NTL
+ RR class</a> set at 1000-bit precision), using the "textbook"
+ continued fraction representation (refer to the first continued fraction
+ in the implementation discussion below). Note that this continued fraction
+ is <span class="emphasis"><em>not</em></span> used in the implementation, and therefore we
+ have test data that is fully independent of the code.
+ </p>
+<a name="math_toolkit.special.sf_beta.ibeta_function.implementation"></a><h5>
+<a name="id728497"></a>
+ <a class="link" href="ibeta_function.html#math_toolkit.special.sf_beta.ibeta_function.implementation">Implementation</a>
+ </h5>
+<p>
+ This implementation is closely based upon <a href="http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?doid=131766.131776" target="_top">"Algorithm
+ 708; Significant digit computation of the incomplete beta function ratios",
+ DiDonato and Morris, ACM, 1992.</a>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ All four of these functions share a common implementation: this is passed
+ both x and y, and can return either p or q where these are related by:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/ibeta_inv5.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ so at any point we can swap a for b, x for y and p for q if this results
+ in a more favourable position. Generally such swaps are performed so that
+ we always compute a value less than 0.9: when required this can then be
+ subtracted from 1 without undue cancellation error.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The following continued fraction representation is found in many textbooks
+ but is not used in this implementation - it's both slower and less accurate
+ than the alternatives - however it is used to generate test data:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/ibeta5.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The following continued fraction is due to <a href="http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?doid=131766.131776" target="_top">Didonato
+ and Morris</a>, and is used in this implementation when a and b are
+ both greater than 1:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/ibeta6.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ For smallish b and x then a series representation can be used:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/ibeta7.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ When b << a then the transition from 0 to 1 occurs very close to
+ x = 1 and some care has to be taken over the method of computation, in
+ that case the following series representation is used:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/ibeta8.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Where Q(a,x) is an <a href="http://functions.wolfram.com/GammaBetaErf/Gamma2/" target="_top">incomplete
+ gamma function</a>. Note that this method relies on keeping a table
+ of all the p<sub>n </sub> previously computed, which does limit the precision of the
+ method, depending upon the size of the table used.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ When <span class="emphasis"><em>a</em></span> and <span class="emphasis"><em>b</em></span> are both small integers,
+ then we can relate the incomplete beta to the binomial distribution and
+ use the following finite sum:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/ibeta12.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Finally we can sidestep difficult areas, or move to an area with a more
+ efficient means of computation, by using the duplication formulae:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/ibeta10.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/ibeta11.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The domains of a, b and x for which the various methods are used are identical
+ to those described in the <a href="http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?doid=131766.131776" target="_top">Didonato
+ and Morris TOMS 708 paper</a>.

+ When people normally talk about the inverse of the incomplete beta function,
+ they are talking about inverting on parameter <span class="emphasis"><em>x</em></span>.
+ These are implemented here as ibeta_inv and ibeta_inv, and are by far
+ the most efficient of the inverses presented here.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The inverses on the <span class="emphasis"><em>a</em></span> and <span class="emphasis"><em>b</em></span>
+ parameters find use in some statistical applications, but have to be
+ computed by rather brute force numerical techniques and are consequently
+ several times slower. These are implemented here as ibeta_inva and ibeta_invb,
+ and complement versions ibetac_inva and ibetac_invb.

+ </h5>
+<p>
+ These two functions share a common implementation.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ First an initial approximation to x is computed then the last few bits
+ are cleaned up using <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_rational_approximation" target="_top">Halley
+ iteration</a>. The iteration limit is set to 1<span class="emphasis"><em>2 of the number
+ of bits in T, which by experiment is sufficient to ensure that the inverses
+ are at least as accurate as the normal incomplete beta functions. Up to
+ 5 iterations may be required in extreme cases, although normally only one
+ or two are required. Further, the number of iterations required decreases
+ with increasing /a</em></span> and <span class="emphasis"><em>b</em></span> (which generally
+ form the more important use cases).
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The initial guesses used for iteration are obtained as follows:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Firstly recall that:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/ibeta_inv5.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ We may wish to start from either p or q, and to calculate either x or y.
+ In addition at any stage we can exchange a for b, p for q, and x for y
+ if it results in a more manageable problem.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ For <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">a</span><span class="special">+</span><span class="identifier">b</span> <span class="special">>=</span> <span class="number">5</span></code> the initial guess is computed using the
+ methods described in:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Asymptotic Inversion of the Incomplete Beta Function, by N. M. Temme.
+ Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics 41 (1992) 145-157.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The nearly symmetrical case (section 2 of the paper) is used for
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/ibeta_inv2.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ and involves solving the inverse error function first. The method is accurate
+ to at least 2 decimal digits when <code class="literal">a = 5</code> rising to at
+ least 8 digits when <code class="literal">a = 10<sup>5</sup></code>.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The general error function case (section 3 of the paper) is used for
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/ibeta_inv3.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ and again expresses the inverse incomplete beta in terms of the inverse
+ of the error function. The method is accurate to at least 2 decimal digits
+ when <code class="literal">a+b = 5</code> rising to 11 digits when <code class="literal">a+b =
+ 10<sup>5</sup></code>. However, when the result is expected to be very small, and
+ when a+b is also small, then its accuracy tails off, in this case when
+ p<sup>1/a</sup> < 0.0025 then it is better to use the following as an initial estimate:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/ibeta_inv4.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Finally the for all other cases where <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">a</span><span class="special">+</span><span class="identifier">b</span> <span class="special">></span>
+ <span class="number">5</span></code> the method of section 4 of the
+ paper is used. This expresses the inverse incomplete beta in terms of the
+ inverse of the incomplete gamma function, and is therefore significantly
+ more expensive to compute than the other cases. However the method is accurate
+ to at least 3 decimal digits when <code class="literal">a = 5</code> rising to at
+ least 10 digits when <code class="literal">a = 10<sup>5</sup></code>. This method is limited
+ to a > b, and therefore we need to perform an exchange a for b, p for
+ q and x for y when this is not the case. In addition when p is close to
+ 1 the method is inaccurate should we actually want y rather than x as output.
+ Therefore when q is small (<code class="literal">q<sup>1/p</sup> < 10<sup>-3</sup></code>) we use:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/ibeta_inv6.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ which is both cheaper to compute than the full method, and a more accurate
+ estimate on q.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ When a and b are both small there is a distinct lack of information in
+ the literature on how to proceed. I am extremely grateful to Prof Nico
+ Temme who provided the following information with a great deal of patience
+ and explanation on his part. Any errors that follow are entirely my own,
+ and not Prof Temme's.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ When a and b are both less than 1, then there is a point of inflection
+ in the incomplete beta at point <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">xs</span>
+ <span class="special">=</span> <span class="special">(</span><span class="number">1</span> <span class="special">-</span> <span class="identifier">a</span><span class="special">)</span> <span class="special">/</span> <span class="special">(</span><span class="number">2</span> <span class="special">-</span> <span class="identifier">a</span>
+ <span class="special">-</span> <span class="identifier">b</span><span class="special">)</span></code>. Therefore if <code class="literal">p > I<sub>x</sub>(a,b)</code>
+ we swap a for b, p for q and x for y, so that now we always look for a
+ point x below the point of inflection <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">xs</span></code>,
+ and on a convex curve. An initial estimate for x is made with:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/ibeta_inv7.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ which is provably below the true value for x: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton%27s_method" target="_top">Newton
+ iteration</a> will therefore smoothly converge on x without problems
+ caused by overshooting etc.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ When a and b are both greater than 1, but a+b is too small to use the other
+ methods mentioned above, we proceed as follows. Observe that there is a
+ point of inflection in the incomplete beta at <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">xs</span>
+ <span class="special">=</span> <span class="special">(</span><span class="number">1</span> <span class="special">-</span> <span class="identifier">a</span><span class="special">)</span> <span class="special">/</span> <span class="special">(</span><span class="number">2</span> <span class="special">-</span> <span class="identifier">a</span>
+ <span class="special">-</span> <span class="identifier">b</span><span class="special">)</span></code>. Therefore if <code class="literal">p > I<sub>x</sub>(a,b)</code>
+ we swap a for b, p for q and x for y, so that now we always look for a
+ point x below the point of inflection <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">xs</span></code>,
+ and on a concave curve. An initial estimate for x is made with:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/ibeta_inv4.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ which can be improved somewhat to:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/ibeta_inv1.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ when b and x are both small (I've used b < a and x < 0.2). This actually
+ under-estimates x, which drops us on the wrong side of x for Newton iteration
+ to converge monotonically. However, use of higher derivatives and Halley
+ iteration keeps everything under control.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The final case to be considered if when one of a and b is less than or
+ equal to 1, and the other greater that 1. Here, if b < a we swap a for
+ b, p for q and x for y. Now the curve of the incomplete beta is convex
+ with no points of inflection in [0,1]. For small p, x can be estimated
+ using
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/ibeta_inv4.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ which under-estimates x, and drops us on the right side of the true value
+ for Newton iteration to converge monotonically. However, when p is large
+ this can quite badly underestimate x. This is especially an issue when
+ we really want to find y, in which case this method can be an arbitrary
+ number of order of magnitudes out, leading to very poor convergence during
+ iteration.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Things can be improved by considering the incomplete beta as a distorted
+ quarter circle, and estimating y from:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/ibeta_inv8.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ This doesn't guarantee that we will drop in on the right side of x for
+ monotonic convergence, but it does get us close enough that Halley iteration
+ rapidly converges on the true value.

+ These four functions share a common implementation.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ First an initial approximation is computed for <span class="emphasis"><em>a</em></span> or
+ <span class="emphasis"><em>b</em></span>: where possible this uses a Cornish-Fisher expansion
+ for the negative binomial distribution to get within around 1 of the result.
+ However, when <span class="emphasis"><em>a</em></span> or <span class="emphasis"><em>b</em></span> are very
+ small the Cornish Fisher expansion is not usable, in this case the initial
+ approximation is chosen so that I<sub>x</sub>(a, b) is near the middle of the range
+ [0,1].
+ </p>
+<p>
+ This initial guess is then used as a starting value for a generic root
+ finding algorithm. The algorithm converges rapidly on the root once it
+ has been bracketed, but bracketing the root may take several iterations.
+ A better initial approximation for <span class="emphasis"><em>a</em></span> or <span class="emphasis"><em>b</em></span>
+ would improve these functions quite substantially: currently 10-20 incomplete
+ beta function invocations are required to find the root.

+ </h5>
+<p>
+ The tests for these functions come in two parts: basic sanity checks use
+ spot values calculated using <a href="http://functions.wolfram.com/webMathematica/FunctionEvaluation.jsp?name=Erf" target="_top">Mathworld's
+ online evaluator</a>, while accuracy checks use high-precision test
+ values calculated at 1000-bit precision with NTL::RR
+ and this implementation. Note that the generic and type-specific versions
+ of these functions use differing implementations internally, so this gives
+ us reasonably independent test data. Using our test data to test other
+ "known good" implementations also provides an additional sanity
+ check.

+ <a class="link" href="error_function.html#math_toolkit.special.sf_erf.error_function.implementation">Implementation</a>
+ </h5>
+<p>
+ All versions of these functions first use the usual reflection formulas
+ to make their arguments positive:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">erf</span><span class="special">(-</span><span class="identifier">z</span><span class="special">)</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="number">1</span> <span class="special">-</span> <span class="identifier">erf</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">z</span><span class="special">);</span>

+</span></pre>
+<p>
+ The generic versions of these functions are implemented in terms of the
+ incomplete gamma function.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ When the significand (mantissa) size is recognised (currently for 53, 64
+ and 113-bit reals, plus single-precision 24-bit handled via promotion to
+ double) then a series of rational approximations <a class="link" href="../../backgrounders/implementation.html#math_toolkit.backgrounders.implementation.rational_approximations_used">devised
+ by JM</a> are used.

+ For <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">z</span> <span class="special"><=</span>
+ <span class="number">0.5</span></code> then a rational approximation
+ to erf is used, based on the observation that erf is an odd function and
+ therefore erf is calculated using:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">erf</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">z</span><span class="special">)</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="identifier">z</span> <span class="special">*</span> <span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">C</span> <span class="special">+</span> <span class="identifier">R</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">z</span><span class="special">*</span><span class="identifier">z</span><span class="special">));</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ where the rational approximation R(z*z) is optimised for absolute error:
+ as long as its absolute error is small enough compared to the constant
+ C, then any round-off error incurred during the computation of R(z*z) will
+ effectively disappear from the result. As a result the error for erf and
+ erfc in this region is very low: the last bit is incorrect in only a very
+ small number of cases.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ For <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">z</span> <span class="special">></span>
+ <span class="number">0.5</span></code> we observe that over a small
+ interval [a, b) then:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">erfc</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">z</span><span class="special">)</span> <span class="special">*</span> <span class="identifier">exp</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">z</span><span class="special">*</span><span class="identifier">z</span><span class="special">)</span> <span class="special">*</span> <span class="identifier">z</span> <span class="special">~</span> <span class="identifier">c</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ for some constant c.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Therefore for <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">z</span> <span class="special">></span>
+ <span class="number">0.5</span></code> we calculate erfc using:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">erfc</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">z</span><span class="special">)</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="identifier">exp</span><span class="special">(-</span><span class="identifier">z</span><span class="special">*</span><span class="identifier">z</span><span class="special">)</span> <span class="special">*</span> <span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">C</span> <span class="special">+</span> <span class="identifier">R</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">z</span> <span class="special">-</span> <span class="identifier">B</span><span class="special">))</span> <span class="special">/</span> <span class="identifier">z</span><span class="special">;</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ Again R(z - B) is optimised for absolute error, and the constant <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">C</span></code> is the average of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">erfc</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">z</span><span class="special">)</span>
+ <span class="special">*</span> <span class="identifier">exp</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">z</span><span class="special">*</span><span class="identifier">z</span><span class="special">)</span> <span class="special">*</span>
+ <span class="identifier">z</span></code> taken at the endpoints of the
+ range. Once again, as long as the absolute error in R(z - B) is small compared
+ to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">c</span></code> then <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">c</span> <span class="special">+</span> <span class="identifier">R</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">z</span>
+ <span class="special">-</span> <span class="identifier">B</span><span class="special">)</span></code> will be correctly rounded, and the error
+ in the result will depend only on the accuracy of the exp function. In
+ practice, in all but a very small number of cases, the error is confined
+ to the last bit of the result. The constant <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">B</span></code>
+ is chosen so that the left hand end of the range of the rational approximation
+ is 0.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ For large <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">z</span></code> over a range
+ [a, +∞] the above approximation is modified to:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">erfc</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">z</span><span class="special">)</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="identifier">exp</span><span class="special">(-</span><span class="identifier">z</span><span class="special">*</span><span class="identifier">z</span><span class="special">)</span> <span class="special">*</span> <span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">C</span> <span class="special">+</span> <span class="identifier">R</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="number">1</span> <span class="special">/</span> <span class="identifier">z</span><span class="special">))</span> <span class="special">/</span> <span class="identifier">z</span><span class="special">;</span>

+ <a class="link" href="error_inv.html#math_toolkit.special.sf_erf.error_inv.implementation">Implementation</a>
+ </h5>
+<p>
+ These functions use a rational approximation <a class="link" href="../../backgrounders/implementation.html#math_toolkit.backgrounders.implementation.rational_approximations_used">devised
+ by JM</a> to calculate an initial approximation to the result that is
+ accurate to ~10<sup>-19</sup>, then only if that has insufficient accuracy compared
+ to the epsilon for T, do we clean up the result using <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_rational_approximation" target="_top">Halley
+ iteration</a>.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Constructing rational approximations to the erf/erfc functions is actually
+ surprisingly hard, especially at high precision. For this reason no attempt
+ has been made to achieve 10<sup>-34 </sup> accuracy suitable for use with 128-bit reals.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ In the following discussion, <span class="emphasis"><em>p</em></span> is the value passed
+ to erf_inv, and <span class="emphasis"><em>q</em></span> is the value passed to erfc_inv,
+ so that <span class="emphasis"><em>p = 1 - q</em></span> and <span class="emphasis"><em>q = 1 - p</em></span>
+ and in both cases we want to solve for the same result <span class="emphasis"><em>x</em></span>.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ For <span class="emphasis"><em>p < 0.5</em></span> the inverse erf function is reasonably
+ smooth and the approximation:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">x</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="identifier">p</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">p</span> <span class="special">+</span> <span class="number">10</span><span class="special">)(</span><span class="identifier">Y</span> <span class="special">+</span> <span class="identifier">R</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">p</span><span class="special">))</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ Gives a good result for a constant Y, and R(p) optimised for low absolute
+ error compared to |Y|.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ For q < 0.5 things get trickier, over the interval <span class="emphasis"><em>0.5 >
+ q > 0.25</em></span> the following approximation works well:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">x</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="identifier">sqrt</span><span class="special">(-</span><span class="number">2l</span><span class="identifier">og</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">q</span><span class="special">))</span> <span class="special">/</span> <span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">Y</span> <span class="special">+</span> <span class="identifier">R</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">q</span><span class="special">))</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ While for q < 0.25, let
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">z</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="identifier">sqrt</span><span class="special">(-</span><span class="identifier">log</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">q</span><span class="special">))</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ Then the result is given by:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">x</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="identifier">z</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">Y</span> <span class="special">+</span> <span class="identifier">R</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">z</span> <span class="special">-</span> <span class="identifier">B</span><span class="special">))</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ As before Y is a constant and the rational function R is optimised for
+ low absolute error compared to |Y|. B is also a constant: it is the smallest
+ value of <span class="emphasis"><em>z</em></span> for which each approximation is valid.
+ There are several approximations of this form each of which reaches a little
+ further into the tail of the erfc function (at <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">long</span>
+ <span class="keyword">double</span></code> precision the extended exponent
+ range compared to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">double</span></code> means

+<p>
+ is used to make <span class="emphasis"><em>x</em></span> positive.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ For arguments in the range [0,1] the recurrence relation:

+</pre>
+<p>
+ is used to shift the evaluation to [1,2].
+ </p>
+<p>
+ For arguments in the range [1,2] a rational approximation <a class="link" href="../../backgrounders/implementation.html#math_toolkit.backgrounders.implementation.rational_approximations_used">devised
+ by JM</a> is used (see below).
+ </p>
+<p>
+ For arguments in the range [2,BIG] the recurrence relation:

+ For arguments > BIG the asymptotic expansion:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/digamma2.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ can be used. However, this expansion is divergent after a few terms: exactly
+ how many terms depends on the size of <span class="emphasis"><em>x</em></span>. Therefore
+ the value of <span class="emphasis"><em>BIG</em></span> must be chosen so that the series
+ can be truncated at a term that is too small to have any effect on the
+ result when evaluated at <span class="emphasis"><em>BIG</em></span>. Choosing BIG=10 for
+ up to 80-bit reals, and BIG=20 for 128-bit reals allows the series to truncated
+ after a suitably small number of terms and evaluated as a polynomial in
+ <code class="computeroutput"><span class="number">1</span><span class="special">/(</span><span class="identifier">x</span><span class="special">*</span><span class="identifier">x</span><span class="special">)</span></code>.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The rational approximation <a class="link" href="../../backgrounders/implementation.html#math_toolkit.backgrounders.implementation.rational_approximations_used">devised
+ by JM</a> in the range [1,2] is derived as follows.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ First a high precision approximation to digamma was constructed using a
+ 60-term differentiated <a class="link" href="../../backgrounders/lanczos.html" title="The Lanczos Approximation">Lanczos
+ approximation</a>, the form used is:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/digamma3.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Where P(x) and Q(x) are the polynomials from the rational form of the Lanczos
+ sum, and P'(x) and Q'(x) are their first derivatives. The Lanzos part of
+ this approximation has a theoretical precision of ~100 decimal digits.
+ However, cancellation in the above sum will reduce that to around <code class="computeroutput"><span class="number">99</span><span class="special">-(</span><span class="number">1</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">y</span><span class="special">)</span></code>
+ digits if <span class="emphasis"><em>y</em></span> is the result. This approximation was
+ used to calculate the positive root of digamma, and was found to agree
+ with the value used by Cody to 25 digits (See Math. Comp. 27, 123-127 (1973)
+ by Cody, Strecok and Thacher) and with the value used by Morris to 35 digits
+ (See TOMS Algorithm 708).
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Likewise a few spot tests agreed with values calculated using functions.wolfram.com
+ to >40 digits. That's sufficiently precise to insure that the approximation
+ below is accurate to double precision. Achieving 128-bit long double precision
+ requires that the location of the root is known to ~70 digits, and it's
+ not clear whether the value calculated by this method meets that requirement:
+ the difficulty lies in independently verifying the value obtained.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The rational approximation <a class="link" href="../../backgrounders/implementation.html#math_toolkit.backgrounders.implementation.rational_approximations_used">devised
+ by JM</a> was optimised for absolute error using the form:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">digamma</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">x</span><span class="special">)</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">x</span> <span class="special">-</span> <span class="identifier">X0</span><span class="special">)(</span><span class="identifier">Y</span> <span class="special">+</span> <span class="identifier">R</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">x</span> <span class="special">-</span> <span class="number">1</span><span class="special">));</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ Where X0 is the positive root of digamma, Y is a constant, and R(x - 1)
+ is the rational approximation. Note that since X0 is irrational, we need
+ twice as many digits in X0 as in x in order to avoid cancellation error
+ during the subtraction (this assumes that <span class="emphasis"><em>x</em></span> is an
+ exact value, if it's not then all bets are off). That means that even when
+ x is the value of the root rounded to the nearest representable value,
+ the result of digamma(x) <span class="emphasis"><em><span class="bold"><strong>will not be zero</strong></span></em></span>.

+ </h5>
+<p>
+ There are four <a href="http://mathworld.wolfram.com/IncompleteGammaFunction.html" target="_top">incomplete
+ gamma functions</a>: two are normalised versions (also known as <span class="emphasis"><em>regularized</em></span>
+ incomplete gamma functions) that return values in the range [0, 1], and
+ two are non-normalised and return values in the range [0, Γ(a)]. Users interested
+ in statistical applications should use the <a href="http://mathworld.wolfram.com/RegularizedGammaFunction.html" target="_top">normalised
+ versions (gamma_p and gamma_q)</a>.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ All of these functions require <span class="emphasis"><em>a > 0</em></span> and <span class="emphasis"><em>z
+ >= 0</em></span>, otherwise they return the result of <a class="link" href="../../main_overview/error_handling.html#domain_error">domain_error</a>.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The final <a class="link" href="../../policy.html" title="Policies">Policy</a> argument
+ is optional and can be used to control the behaviour of the function:
+ how it handles errors, what level of precision to use etc. Refer to the
+ <a class="link" href="../../policy.html" title="Policies">policy documentation for more details</a>.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The return type of these functions is computed using the <a class="link" href="../../main_overview/result_type.html" title="Calculation of the Type of the Result"><span class="emphasis"><em>result
+ type calculation rules</em></span></a> when T1 and T2 are different types,
+ otherwise the return type is simply T1.

+ The following tables give peak and mean relative errors in over various
+ domains of a and z, along with comparisons to the GSL-1.9
+ and Cephes libraries.
+ Note that only results for the widest floating point type on the system
+ are given as narrower types have <a class="link" href="../../backgrounders/relative_error.html#zero_error">effectively
+ zero error</a>.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Note that errors grow as <span class="emphasis"><em>a</em></span> grows larger.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Note also that the higher error rates for the 80 and 128 bit long double
+ results are somewhat misleading: expected results that are zero at 64-bit
+ double precision may be non-zero - but exceptionally small - with the larger
+ exponent range of a long double. These results therefore reflect the more
+ extreme nature of the tests conducted for these types.

+ All values are in units of epsilon.

+ </h5>
+<p>
+ There are two sets of tests: spot tests compare values taken from Mathworld's online evaluator
+ with this implementation to perform a basic "sanity check". Accuracy
+ tests use data generated at very high precision (using NTL's RR class set
+ at 1000-bit precision) using this implementation with a very high precision
+ 60-term <a class="link" href="../../backgrounders/lanczos.html" title="The Lanczos Approximation">Lanczos approximation</a>,
+ and some but not all of the special case handling disabled. This is less
+ than satisfactory: an independent method should really be used, but apparently
+ a complete lack of such methods are available. We can't even use a deliberately
+ naive implementation without special case handling since Legendre's continued
+ fraction (see below) is unstable for small a and z.

+ <a class="link" href="igamma.html#math_toolkit.special.sf_gamma.igamma.implementation">Implementation</a>
+ </h5>
+<p>
+ These four functions share a common implementation since they are all related
+ via:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ 1) <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/igamma5.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ 2) <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/igamma6.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ 3) <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/igamma7.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The lower incomplete gamma is computed from its series representation:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ 4) <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/igamma8.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Or by subtraction of the upper integral from either Γ(a) or 1 when <span class="emphasis"><em>x
+ > a and x > 1.1</em></span>.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The upper integral is computed from Legendre's continued fraction representation:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ 5) <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/igamma9.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ When <span class="emphasis"><em>x > 1.1</em></span> or by subtraction of the lower integral
+ from either Γ(a) or 1 when <span class="emphasis"><em>x < a</em></span>.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ For <span class="emphasis"><em>x < 1.1</em></span> computation of the upper integral is
+ more complex as the continued fraction representation is unstable in this
+ area. However there is another series representation for the lower integral:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ 6) <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/igamma10.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ That lends itself to calculation of the upper integral via rearrangement
+ to:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ 7) <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/igamma11.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Refer to the documentation for <a class="link" href="../powers/powm1.html" title="powm1">powm1</a>
+ and <a class="link" href="tgamma.html" title="Gamma">tgamma1pm1</a>
+ for details of their implementation. Note however that the precision of
+ <a class="link" href="tgamma.html" title="Gamma">tgamma1pm1</a>
+ is capped to either around 35 digits, or to that of the <a class="link" href="../../backgrounders/lanczos.html" title="The Lanczos Approximation">Lanczos
+ approximation</a> associated with type T - if there is one - whichever
+ of the two is the greater. That therefore imposes a similar limit on the
+ precision of this function in this region.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ For <span class="emphasis"><em>x < 1.1</em></span> the crossover point where the result
+ is ~0.5 no longer occurs for <span class="emphasis"><em>x ~ y</em></span>. Using <span class="emphasis"><em>x
+ * 1.1 < a</em></span> as the crossover criterion for <span class="emphasis"><em>0.5 <
+ x <= 1.1</em></span> keeps the maximum value computed (whether it's the
+ upper or lower interval) to around 0.6. Likewise for <span class="emphasis"><em>x <=
+ 0.5</em></span> then using <span class="emphasis"><em>-0.4 / log(x) < a</em></span> as
+ the crossover criterion keeps the maximum value computed to around 0.7
+ (whether it's the upper or lower interval).
+ </p>
+<p>
+ There are two special cases used when a is an integer or half integer,
+ and the crossover conditions listed above indicate that we should compute
+ the upper integral Q. If a is an integer in the range <span class="emphasis"><em>1 <=
+ a < 30</em></span> then the following finite sum is used:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ 9) <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/igamma1f.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ While for half integers in the range <span class="emphasis"><em>0.5 <= a < 30</em></span>
+ then the following finite sum is used:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ 10) <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/igamma2f.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ These are both more stable and more efficient than the continued fraction
+ alternative.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ When the argument <span class="emphasis"><em>a</em></span> is large, and <span class="emphasis"><em>x ~ a</em></span>
+ then the series (4) and continued fraction (5) above are very slow to converge.
+ In this area an expansion due to Temme is used:

+ The double sum is truncated to a fixed number of terms - to give a specific
+ target precision - and evaluated as a polynomial-of-polynomials. There
+ are versions for up to 128-bit long double precision: types requiring greater
+ precision than that do not use these expansions. The coefficients C<sub>k</sub><sup>n</sup> are
+ computed in advance using the recurrence relations given by Temme. The
+ zone where these expansions are used is

+ The latter range is valid for all types up to 128-bit long doubles, and
+ is designed to ensure that the result is larger than 10<sup>-6</sup>, the first range
+ is used only for types up to 80-bit long doubles. These domains are narrower
+ than the ones recommended by either Temme or Didonato and Morris. However,
+ using a wider range results in large and inexact (i.e. computed) values
+ being passed to the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">exp</span></code>
+ and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">erfc</span></code> functions resulting
+ in significantly larger error rates. In other words there is a fine trade
+ off here between efficiency and error. The current limits should keep the
+ number of terms required by (4) and (5) to no more than ~20 at double precision.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ For the normalised incomplete gamma functions, calculation of the leading
+ power terms is central to the accuracy of the function. For smallish a
+ and x combining the power terms with the <a class="link" href="../../backgrounders/lanczos.html" title="The Lanczos Approximation">Lanczos
+ approximation</a> gives the greatest accuracy:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ 15) <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/igamma12.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ In the event that this causes underflow<span class="emphasis"><em>overflow then the exponent
+ can be reduced by a factor of /a</em></span> and brought inside the power
+ term.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ When a and x are large, we end up with a very large exponent with a base
+ near one: this will not be computed accurately via the pow function, and
+ taking logs simply leads to cancellation errors. The worst of the errors
+ can be avoided by using:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ 16) <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/igamma13.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ when <span class="emphasis"><em>a-x</em></span> is small and a and x are large. There is
+ still a subtraction and therefore some cancellation errors - but the terms
+ are small so the absolute error will be small - and it is absolute rather
+ than relative error that counts in the argument to the <span class="emphasis"><em>exp</em></span>
+ function. Note that for sufficiently large a and x the errors will still
+ get you eventually, although this does delay the inevitable much longer
+ than other methods. Use of <span class="emphasis"><em>log(1+x)-x</em></span> here is inspired
+ by Temme (see references below).

+ </h5>
+<p>
+ The accuracy of these functions doesn't vary much by platform or by the
+ type T. Given that these functions are computed by iterative methods, they
+ are deliberately "detuned" so as not to be too accurate: it is
+ in any case impossible for these function to be more accurate than the
+ regular forward incomplete gamma functions. In practice, the accuracy of
+ these functions is very similar to that of <a class="link" href="igamma.html" title="Incomplete Gamma Functions">gamma_p</a>
+ and <a class="link" href="igamma.html" title="Incomplete Gamma Functions">gamma_q</a>
+ functions.
+ </p>

+<a name="id714276"></a>
+ <a class="link" href="igamma_inv.html#math_toolkit.special.sf_gamma.igamma_inv.testing">Testing</a>
+ </h5>
+<p>
+ There are two sets of tests:
+ </p>
+<div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc">
+<li>
+ Basic sanity checks attempt to "round-trip" from <span class="emphasis"><em>a</em></span>
+ and <span class="emphasis"><em>x</em></span> to <span class="emphasis"><em>p</em></span> or <span class="emphasis"><em>q</em></span>
+ and back again. These tests have quite generous tolerances: in general
+ both the incomplete gamma, and its inverses, change so rapidly that round
+ tripping to more than a couple of significant digits isn't possible.
+ This is especially true when <span class="emphasis"><em>p</em></span> or <span class="emphasis"><em>q</em></span>
+ is very near one: in this case there isn't enough "information content"
+ in the input to the inverse function to get back where you started.
+ </li>
+<li>
+ Accuracy checks using high precision test values. These measure the accuracy
+ of the result, given exact input values.
+ </li>
+</ul></div>
+<a name="math_toolkit.special.sf_gamma.igamma_inv.implementation"></a><h5>
+<a name="id714358"></a>
+ <a class="link" href="igamma_inv.html#math_toolkit.special.sf_gamma.igamma_inv.implementation">Implementation</a>
+ </h5>
+<p>
+ The functions gamma_p_inv and gamma_q_inv
+ share a common implementation.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ First an initial approximation is computed using the methodology described
+ in:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <a href="http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=23109&coll=portal&dl=ACM" target="_top">A.
+ R. Didonato and A. H. Morris, Computation of the Incomplete Gamma Function
+ Ratios and their Inverse, ACM Trans. Math. Software 12 (1986), 377-393.</a>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Finally, the last few bits are cleaned up using Halley iteration, the iteration
+ limit is set to 2/3 of the number of bits in T, which by experiment is
+ sufficient to ensure that the inverses are at least as accurate as the
+ normal incomplete gamma functions. In testing, no more than 3 iterations
+ are required to produce a result as accurate as the forward incomplete
+ gamma function, and in many cases only one iteration is required.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The functions gamma_p_inva and gamma_q_inva also share a common implementation
+ but are handled separately from gamma_p_inv and gamma_q_inv.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ An initial approximation for <span class="emphasis"><em>a</em></span> is computed very crudely
+ so that <span class="emphasis"><em>gamma_p(a, x) ~ 0.5</em></span>, this value is then used
+ as a starting point for a generic derivative-free root finding algorithm.
+ As a consequence, these two functions are rather more expensive to compute
+ than the gamma_p_inv or gamma_q_inv functions. Even so, the root is usually
+ found in fewer than 10 iterations.

+ </h5>
+<p>
+ The generic version of this function is implemented by combining the series
+ and continued fraction representations for the incomplete gamma function:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/lgamm2.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ where <span class="emphasis"><em>l</em></span> is an arbitrary integration limit: choosing
+ <code class="literal">l = max(10, a)</code> seems to work fairly well. For negative
+ <span class="emphasis"><em>z</em></span> the logarithm version of the reflection formula
+ is used:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/lgamm3.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ For types of known precision, the <a class="link" href="../../backgrounders/lanczos.html" title="The Lanczos Approximation">Lanczos
+ approximation</a> is used, a traits class <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">math</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">lanczos</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">lanczos_traits</span></code>
+ maps type T to an appropriate approximation. The logarithmic version of
+ the <a class="link" href="../../backgrounders/lanczos.html" title="The Lanczos Approximation">Lanczos approximation</a>
+ is:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/lgamm4.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Where L<sub>e,g</sub> is the Lanczos sum, scaled by e<sup>g</sup>.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ As before the reflection formula is used for <span class="emphasis"><em>z < 0</em></span>.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ When z is very near 1 or 2, then the logarithmic version of the <a class="link" href="../../backgrounders/lanczos.html" title="The Lanczos Approximation">Lanczos
+ approximation</a> suffers very badly from cancellation error: indeed
+ for values sufficiently close to 1 or 2, arbitrarily large relative errors
+ can be obtained (even though the absolute error is tiny).
+ </p>
+<p>
+ For types with up to 113 bits of precision (up to and including 128-bit
+ long doubles), root-preserving rational approximations <a class="link" href="../../backgrounders/implementation.html#math_toolkit.backgrounders.implementation.rational_approximations_used">devised
+ by JM</a> are used over the intervals [1,2] and [2,3]. Over the interval
+ [2,3] the approximation form used is:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">lgamma</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">z</span><span class="special">)</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">z</span><span class="special">-</span><span class="number">2</span><span class="special">)(</span><span class="identifier">z</span><span class="special">+</span><span class="number">1</span><span class="special">)(</span><span class="identifier">Y</span> <span class="special">+</span> <span class="identifier">R</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">z</span><span class="special">-</span><span class="number">2</span><span class="special">));</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ Where Y is a constant, and R(z-2) is the rational approximation: optimised
+ so that it's absolute error is tiny compared to Y. In addition small values
+ of z greater than 3 can handled by argument reduction using the recurrence
+ relation:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">lgamma</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">z</span><span class="special">+</span><span class="number">1</span><span class="special">)</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="identifier">log</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">z</span><span class="special">)</span> <span class="special">+</span> <span class="identifier">lgamma</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">z</span><span class="special">);</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ Over the interval [1,2] two approximations have to be used, one for small
+ z uses:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">lgamma</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">z</span><span class="special">)</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">z</span><span class="special">-</span><span class="number">1</span><span class="special">)(</span><span class="identifier">z</span><span class="special">-</span><span class="number">2</span><span class="special">)(</span><span class="identifier">Y</span> <span class="special">+</span> <span class="identifier">R</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">z</span><span class="special">-</span><span class="number">1</span><span class="special">));</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ Once again Y is a constant, and R(z-1) is optimised for low absolute error
+ compared to Y. For z > 1.5 the above form wouldn't converge to a minimax
+ solution but this similar form does:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">lgamma</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">z</span><span class="special">)</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="special">(</span><span class="number">2</span><span class="special">-</span><span class="identifier">z</span><span class="special">)(</span><span class="number">1</span><span class="special">-</span><span class="identifier">z</span><span class="special">)(</span><span class="identifier">Y</span> <span class="special">+</span> <span class="identifier">R</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="number">2</span><span class="special">-</span><span class="identifier">z</span><span class="special">));</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ Finally for z < 1 the recurrence relation can be used to move to z >
+ 1:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">lgamma</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">z</span><span class="special">)</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="identifier">lgamma</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">z</span><span class="special">+</span><span class="number">1</span><span class="special">)</span> <span class="special">-</span> <span class="identifier">log</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">z</span><span class="special">);</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ Note that while this involves a subtraction, it appears not to suffer from
+ cancellation error: as z decreases from 1 the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">-</span><span class="identifier">log</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">z</span><span class="special">)</span></code> term
+ grows positive much more rapidly than the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">lgamma</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">z</span><span class="special">+</span><span class="number">1</span><span class="special">)</span></code> term becomes
+ negative. So in this specific case, significant digits are preserved, rather
+ than cancelled.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ For other types which do have a <a class="link" href="../../backgrounders/lanczos.html" title="The Lanczos Approximation">Lanczos
+ approximation</a> defined for them the current solution is as follows:
+ imagine we balance the two terms in the <a class="link" href="../../backgrounders/lanczos.html" title="The Lanczos Approximation">Lanczos
+ approximation</a> by dividing the power term by its value at <span class="emphasis"><em>z
+ = 1</em></span>, and then multiplying the Lanczos coefficients by the same
+ value. Now each term will take the value 1 at <span class="emphasis"><em>z = 1</em></span>
+ and we can rearrange the power terms in terms of log1p. Likewise if we
+ subtract 1 from the Lanczos sum part (algebraically, by subtracting the
+ value of each term at <span class="emphasis"><em>z = 1</em></span>), we obtain a new summation
+ that can be also be fed into log1p. Crucially, all of the terms tend to
+ zero, as <span class="emphasis"><em>z -> 1</em></span>:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/lgamm5.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The C<sub>k</sub> terms in the above are the same as in the <a class="link" href="../../backgrounders/lanczos.html" title="The Lanczos Approximation">Lanczos
+ approximation</a>.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ A similar rearrangement can be performed at <span class="emphasis"><em>z = 2</em></span>:

+ The gamma is relatively easy to test: factorials and half-integer factorials
+ can be calculated exactly by other means and compared with the gamma function.
+ In addition, some accuracy tests in known tricky areas were computed at
+ high precision using the generic version of this function.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The function <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">tgamma1pm1</span></code>
+ is tested against values calculated very naively using the formula <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">tgamma</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="number">1</span><span class="special">+</span><span class="identifier">dz</span><span class="special">)-</span><span class="number">1</span></code> with
+ a lanczos approximation accurate to around 100 decimal digits.

+ <a class="link" href="tgamma.html#math_toolkit.special.sf_gamma.tgamma.implementation">Implementation</a>
+ </h5>
+<p>
+ The generic version of the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">tgamma</span></code>
+ function is implemented by combining the series and continued fraction
+ representations for the incomplete gamma function:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/gamm2.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ where <span class="emphasis"><em>l</em></span> is an arbitrary integration limit: choosing
+ <code class="literal">l = max(10, a)</code> seems to work fairly well.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ For types of known precision the <a class="link" href="../../backgrounders/lanczos.html" title="The Lanczos Approximation">Lanczos
+ approximation</a> is used, a traits class <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">math</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">lanczos</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">lanczos_traits</span></code>
+ maps type T to an appropriate approximation.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ For z in the range -20 < z < 1 then recursion is used to shift to
+ z > 1 via:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/gamm3.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ For very small z, this helps to preserve the identity:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/gamm4.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ For z < -20 the reflection formula:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/gamm5.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ is used. Particular care has to be taken to evaluate the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">z</span> <span class="special">*</span> <span class="identifier">sin</span><span class="special">([</span><span class="identifier">pi</span><span class="special">][</span><span class="identifier">space</span><span class="special">]</span> <span class="special">*</span> <span class="identifier">z</span><span class="special">)</span></code>
+ part: a special routine is used to reduce z prior to multiplying by π to
+ ensure that the result in is the range [0, π/2]. Without this an excessive
+ amount of error occurs in this region (which is hard enough already, as
+ the rate of change near a negative pole is <span class="emphasis"><em>exceptionally</em></span>
+ high).
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Finally if the argument is a small integer then table lookup of the factorial
+ is used.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The function <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">tgamma1pm1</span></code>
+ is implemented using rational approximations <a class="link" href="../../backgrounders/implementation.html#math_toolkit.backgrounders.implementation.rational_approximations_used">devised

+ internal routines) that are used for <a class="link" href="lgamma.html" title="Log Gamma">lgamma</a>,
+ and so aren't detailed further here. The result of the approximation is
+ <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">log</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">tgamma</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">dz</span><span class="special">+</span><span class="number">1</span><span class="special">))</span></code> which can fed into <a class="link" href="../powers/expm1.html" title="expm1">expm1</a>
+ to give the desired result.

+ Care must be taken in correctly identifying the arguments to this function:
+ θ is taken as the polar (colatitudinal) coordinate with θ in [0, π], and φ as
+ the azimuthal (longitudinal) coordinate with φ in [0,2π). This is the convention
+ used in Physics, and matches the definition used by <a href="http://documents.wolfram.com/mathematica/functions/SphericalHarmonicY" target="_top">Mathematica
+ in the function SpericalHarmonicY</a>, but is opposite to the usual
+ mathematical conventions.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Some other sources include an additional Condon-Shortley phase term of
+ (-1)<sup>m</sup> in the definition of this function: note however that our definition
+ of the associated Legendre polynomial already includes this term.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ This implementation returns zero for m > n
+ </p>
+<p>
+ For θ outside [0, π] and φ outside [0, 2π] this implementation follows the
+ convention used by Mathematica: the function is periodic with period
+ π in θ and 2π in φ. Please note that this is not the behaviour one would get
+ from a casual application of the function's definition. Cautious users
+ should keep θ and φ to the range [0, π] and [0, 2π] respectively.

+<p>
+ These functions are implemented fairly naively using the formulae given
+ above. Some extra care is taken to prevent roundoff error when converting
+ from polar coordinates (so for example the <span class="emphasis"><em>1-x<sup>2</sup></em></span> term
+ used by the associated Legendre functions is calculated without roundoff
+ error using <span class="emphasis"><em>x = cos(theta)</em></span>, and <span class="emphasis"><em>1-x<sup>2</sup> = sin<sup>2</sup>(theta)</em></span>).
+ The limiting factor in the error rates for these functions is the need
+ to calculate values near the roots of the associated Legendre functions.

+ </h5>
+<p>
+ The tests for these functions come in two parts: basic sanity checks use
+ spot values calculated using <a href="http://functions.wolfram.com/webMathematica/FunctionEvaluation.jsp?name=Zeta" target="_top">Mathworld's
+ online evaluator</a>, while accuracy checks use high-precision test
+ values calculated at 1000-bit precision with NTL::RR
+ and this implementation. Note that the generic and type-specific versions
+ of these functions use differing implementations internally, so this gives
+ us reasonably independent test data. Using our test data to test other
+ "known good" implementations also provides an additional sanity
+ check.
+ </p>
+<a name="math_toolkit.special.zetas.zeta.implementation"></a><h5>
+<a name="id773671"></a>
+ <a class="link" href="zeta.html#math_toolkit.special.zetas.zeta.implementation">Implementation</a>
+ </h5>
+<p>
+ All versions of these functions first use the usual reflection formulas
+ to make their arguments positive:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/zeta3.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The generic versions of these functions are implemented using the series:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/zeta1.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ for large z, and using the globally convergent series:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/zeta2.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ In all other cases. The crossover point for these is chosen so that the
+ first series is used only if it will converge reasonably quickly, the problem
+ with this series is that convergence become slower the more terms you take,
+ so we really do have to be certain of convergence before using this series,
+ even though the alternative is often quite slow.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ When the significand (mantissa) size is recognised (currently for 53, 64
+ and 113-bit reals, plus single-precision 24-bit handled via promotion to
+ double) then a series of rational approximations <a class="link" href="../../backgrounders/implementation.html#math_toolkit.backgrounders.implementation.rational_approximations_used">devised
+ by JM</a> are used.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ For 0 < z < 1 the approximating form is:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/zeta4.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ For a rational approximation R(1-z) and a constant C.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ For 1 < z < 4 the approximating form is:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/zeta5.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ For a rational approximation R(n-z) and a constant C and integer n.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ For z > 4 the approximating form is:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ ζ(z) = 1 + e<sup>R(z - n)</sup>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ For a rational approximation R(z-n) and integer n, note that the accuracy
+ required for R(z-n) is not full machine precision, but an absolute error
+ of: ε/R(0). This saves us quite a few digits when dealing with large z,
+ especially when ε is small.

+ Hubert Holin started the Boost.Math library. The inverse hyperbolic functions,
+ and the sinus cardinal functions are his.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ John Maddock started this library, the beta, gamma, erf, polynomial, and
+ factorial functions are his, as is the "Toolkit" section, and many
+ of the statistical distributions.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Paul A. Bristow threw down the challenge in <a href="http://www2.open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG21/docs/papers/2004/n1668.pdf" target="_top">A
+ Proposal to add Mathematical Functions for Statistics to the C++ Standard
+ Library</a> to add the key math functions, especially those essential
+ for statistics. After JM accepted and solved the difficult problems, not
+ only numerically, but in full C++ template style, PAB implemented a few of
+ the statistical distributions. PAB also tirelessly proof-read everything
+ that JM threw at him (so that all remaining editorial mistakes are his fault).
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Xiaogang Zhang worked on the Bessel functions and elliptic integrals for
+ his Google Summer of Code project 2006.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Bruno Lalande submitted the "compile time power of a runtime base"
+ code.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Gautam Sewani coded the logistic distribution as part of a Google Summer
+ of Code project 2008.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Professor Nico Temme for advice on the inverse incomplete beta function.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Victor Shoup for NTL, without which
+ it would have much more difficult to produce high accuracy constants, and
+ especially the tables of accurate values for testing.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ We are grateful to Joel Guzman for helping us stress-test his Boost.Quickbook
+ program used to generate the html and pdf versions of this document, adding
+ several new features en route.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Plots of the functions and distributions were prepared in W3C
+ standard Scalable Vector Graphic (SVG)
+ format using a program created by Jacob Voytko during a <a href="http://code.google.com/soc/2007/" target="_top">Google
+ Summer of Code (2007)</a>. Since browser support for rendering SVG is
+ still not universal (Microsoft Internet Explorer, even IE 8 beta, still lacks
+ native SVG support but can be made to work with <a href="http://www.adobe.com/svg/viewer/install/" target="_top">Adobe's
+ free SVG viewer</a> plugin), so the SVG files were batch converted to
+ JPEG using Inkscape.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ We are also indebted to Matthias Schabel for managing the formal Boost-review
+ of this library, and to all the reviewers - including Guillaume Melquiond,
+ Arnaldur Gylfason, John Phillips, Stephan Tolksdorf and Jeff Garland - for
+ their many helpful comments.

+ Predominantly this is a TODO list, or a list of possible future enhancements.
+ Items labled "High Priority" effect the proper functioning of the
+ component, and should be fixed as soon as possible. Items labled "Medium
+ Priority" are desirable enhancements, often pertaining to the performance
+ of the component, but do not effect it's accuracy or functionality. Items
+ labled "Low Priority" should probably be investigated at some point.
+ Such classifications are obviously highly subjective.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ If you don't see a component listed here, then we don't have any known issues
+ with it.

+ Carlson's algorithms are essentially unchanged from Xiaogang Zhang's Google
+ Summer of Code student project, and are based on Carlson's original papers.

+<p>Carlson's algorithms (mainly R<sub>J</sub>) are somewhat prone to internal overflow/underflow

+ <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continued_fraction" target="_top">Continued
+ fractions are a common method of approximation. </a> These functions
+ all evaluate the continued fraction described by the <span class="emphasis"><em>generator</em></span>
+ type argument. The functions with an "_a" suffix evaluate the
+ fraction:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/fraction2.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ and those with a "_b" suffix evaluate the fraction:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/fraction1.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ This latter form is somewhat more natural in that it corresponds with the
+ usual definition of a continued fraction, but note that the first <span class="emphasis"><em>a</em></span>
+ value returned by the generator is discarded. Further, often the first
+ <span class="emphasis"><em>a</em></span> and <span class="emphasis"><em>b</em></span> values in a continued
+ fraction have different defining equations to the remaining terms, which
+ may make the "_a" suffixed form more appropriate.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The generator type should be a function object which supports the following
+ operations:
+ </p>
+<div class="informaltable"><table class="table">
+<colgroup>
+<col>
+<col>
+</colgroup>
+<thead><tr>
+<th>

+ <p>
+ Gen::result_type
+ </p>

+<td>
+ <p>
+ The type that is the result of invoking operator(). This can be
+ either an arithmetic type, or a std::pair<> of arithmetic
+ types.
+ </p>
+ </td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+<td>
+ <p>
+ g()
+ </p>
+ </td>
+<td>
+ <p>
+ Returns an object of type Gen::result_type.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Each time this operator is called then the next pair of <span class="emphasis"><em>a</em></span>
+ and <span class="emphasis"><em>b</em></span> values is returned. Or, if result_type
+ is an arithmetic type, then the next <span class="emphasis"><em>b</em></span> value
+ is returned and all the <span class="emphasis"><em>a</em></span> values are assumed
+ to 1.
+ </p>
+ </td>
+</tr>
+</tbody>
+</table></div>
+<p>
+ In all the continued fraction evaluation functions the <span class="emphasis"><em>bits</em></span>
+ parameter is the number of bits precision desired in the result, evaluation
+ of the fraction will continue until the last term evaluated leaves the
+ first <span class="emphasis"><em>bits</em></span> bits in the result unchanged.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ If the optional <span class="emphasis"><em>max_terms</em></span> parameter is specified then
+ no more than <span class="emphasis"><em>max_terms</em></span> calls to the generator will
+ be made, and on output, <span class="emphasis"><em>max_terms</em></span> will be set to actual
+ number of calls made. This facility is particularly useful when profiling
+ a continued fraction for convergence.

+ The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_ratio" target="_top">golden ratio
+ phi = 1.618033989...</a> can be computed from the simplest continued
+ fraction of all:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/fraction3.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ We begin by defining a generator function:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">template</span> <span class="special"><</span><span class="keyword">class</span> <span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">></span>
+<span class="keyword">struct</span> <span class="identifier">golden_ratio_fraction</span>
+<span class="special">{</span>
+ <span class="keyword">typedef</span> <span class="identifier">T</span> <span class="identifier">result_type</span><span class="special">;</span>
+
+ <span class="identifier">result_type</span> <span class="keyword">operator</span><span class="special">()</span>
+ <span class="special">{</span>
+ <span class="keyword">return</span> <span class="number">1</span><span class="special">;</span>
+ <span class="special">}</span>
+<span class="special">};</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ The golden ratio can then be computed to double precision using:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">continued_fraction_a</span><span class="special">(</span>
+ <span class="identifier">golden_ratio_fraction</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="keyword">double</span><span class="special">>(),</span>
+ <span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">numeric_limits</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="keyword">double</span><span class="special">>::</span><span class="identifier">digits</span><span class="special">);</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ It's more usual though to have to define both the <span class="emphasis"><em>a</em></span>'s
+ and the <span class="emphasis"><em>b</em></span>'s when evaluating special functions by continued
+ fractions, for example the tan function is defined by:
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../../equations/fraction4.png"></span>
+ </p>
+<p>
+ So it's generator object would look like:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">template</span> <span class="special"><</span><span class="keyword">class</span> <span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">></span>
+<span class="keyword">struct</span> <span class="identifier">tan_fraction</span>

+ <span class="special">{}</span>
+
+ <span class="keyword">typedef</span> <span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">pair</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">,</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">></span> <span class="identifier">result_type</span><span class="special">;</span>

+ <span class="special">{</span>
+ <span class="identifier">b</span> <span class="special">+=</span> <span class="number">2</span><span class="special">;</span>
+ <span class="keyword">return</span> <span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">make_pair</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">a</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="identifier">b</span><span class="special">);</span>
+ <span class="special">}</span>
+<span class="special">};</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ Notice that if the continuant is subtracted from the <span class="emphasis"><em>b</em></span>
+ terms, as is the case here, then all the <span class="emphasis"><em>a</em></span> terms returned
+ by the generator will be negative. The tangent function can now be evaluated
+ using:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">template</span> <span class="special"><</span><span class="keyword">class</span> <span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">></span>
+<span class="identifier">T</span> <span class="identifier">tan</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">T</span> <span class="identifier">a</span><span class="special">)</span>
+<span class="special">{</span>
+ <span class="identifier">tan_fraction</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">></span> <span class="identifier">fract</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">a</span><span class="special">);</span>

+<span class="special">}</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ Notice that this time we're using the "_b" suffixed version to
+ evaluate the fraction: we're removing the leading <span class="emphasis"><em>a</em></span>
+ term during fraction evaluation as it's different from all the others.

+<p>
+ Each of the functions come in three variants: a pair of overloaded functions
+ where the order of the polynomial or rational function is evaluated at
+ compile time, and an overload that accepts a runtime variable for the size
+ of the coefficient array. Generally speaking, compile time evaluation of
+ the array size results in better type safety, is less prone to programmer
+ errors, and may result in better optimised code. The polynomial evaluation
+ functions in particular, are specialised for various array sizes, allowing

+ Evaluates the rational function (the ratio of two polynomials) described
+ by the coefficients stored in <span class="emphasis"><em>num</em></span> and <span class="emphasis"><em>demom</em></span>.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ If the size of the array is specified at runtime then both polynomials
+ most have order <span class="emphasis"><em>count-1</em></span> with <span class="emphasis"><em>count</em></span>
+ coefficients. Otherwise both polynomials have order <span class="emphasis"><em>N-1</em></span>

+ </p>
+<p>
+ Array <span class="emphasis"><em>num</em></span> describes the numerator, and <span class="emphasis"><em>demon</em></span>
+ the denominator.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Coefficients should be stored such that the coefficients for the x<sup>i </sup> terms
+ are in num[i] and denom[i].
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The types of the coefficients and of variable <span class="emphasis"><em>v</em></span> may
+ differ as long as <span class="emphasis"><em>*num</em></span> and <span class="emphasis"><em>*denom</em></span>
+ are convertible to type <span class="emphasis"><em>V</em></span>. This allows, for example,
+ for one or both of the coefficient tables to be a table of integers if
+ this is appropriate.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ These functions are designed to safely evaluate the result, even when the
+ value <span class="emphasis"><em>z</em></span> is very large. As such they do not take advantage
+ of compile time array sizes to make any optimisations. These functions
+ are best reserved for situations where <span class="emphasis"><em>z</em></span> may be large:
+ if you can be sure that numerical overflow will not occur then polynomial
+ evaluation with compile-time array sizes may offer slightly better performance.

+ Polynomials are evaluated by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horner_algorithm" target="_top">Horners

+ </p>
+<p>
+ Rational evaluation is by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horner_algorithm" target="_top">Horners
+ method</a>: with the two polynomials being evaluated in parallel to
+ make the most of the processors floating-point pipeline. If <span class="emphasis"><em>v</em></span>
+ is greater than one, then the polynomials are evaluated in reverse order
+ as polynomials in <span class="emphasis"><em>1/v</em></span>: this avoids unnecessary numerical
+ overflow when the coefficients are large.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Both the polynomial and rational function evaluation algorithms can be
+ tuned using various configuration macros to provide optimal performance
+ for a particular combination of compiler and platform. This includes support
+ for second-order Horner's methods. The various options are <a class="link" href="../../perf/tuning.html" title="Performance Tuning Macros">documented
+ here</a>. However, the performance benefits to be gained from these
+ are marginal on most current hardware, consequently it's best to run the

+ When using these functions you should note that:
+ </p>
+<div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc">
+<li>
+ They may be very sensitive to the initial guess, typically they converge
+ very rapidly if the initial guess has two or three decimal digits correct.
+ However convergence can be no better than bisection, or in some rare
+ cases even worse than bisection if the initial guess is a long way from
+ the correct value and the derivatives are close to zero.
+ </li>
+<li>
+ These functions include special cases to handle zero first (and second
+ where appropriate) derivatives, and fall back to bisection in this case.
+ However, it is helpful if F is defined to return an arbitrarily small
+ value <span class="emphasis"><em>of the correct sign</em></span> rather than zero.
+ </li>
+<li>
+ If the derivative at the current best guess for the result is infinite
+ (or very close to being infinite) then these functions may terminate
+ prematurely. A large first derivative leads to a very small next step,
+ triggering the termination condition. Derivative based iteration may
+ not be appropriate in such cases.
+ </li>
+<li>
+ These functions fall back to bisection if the next computed step would
+ take the next value out of bounds. The bounds are updated after each
+ step to ensure this leads to convergence. However, a good initial guess
+ backed up by asymptotically-tight bounds will improve performance no
+ end rather than relying on bisection.
+ </li>
+<li>
+ The value of <span class="emphasis"><em>digits</em></span> is crucial to good performance
+ of these functions, if it is set too high then at best you will get one
+ extra (unnecessary) iteration, and at worst the last few steps will proceed
+ by bisection. Remember that the returned value can never be more accurate
+ than f(x) can be evaluated, and that if f(x) suffers from cancellation
+ errors as it tends to zero then the computed steps will be effectively
+ random. The value of <span class="emphasis"><em>digits</em></span> should be set so that
+ iteration terminates before this point: remember that for second and
+ third order methods the number of correct digits in the result is increasing
+ quite substantially with each iteration, <span class="emphasis"><em>digits</em></span>
+ should be set by experiment so that the final iteration just takes the
+ next value into the zone where f(x) becomes inaccurate.
+ </li>
+<li>
+ Finally: you may well be able to do better than these functions by hand-coding
+ the heuristics used so that they are tailored to a specific function.
+ You may also be able to compute the ratio of derivatives used by these
+ methods more efficiently than computing the derivatives themselves. As
+ ever, algebraic simplification can be a big win.

+ Using the test data in libs/math/test/cbrt_test.cpp this found the cube
+ root exact to the last digit in every case, and in no more than 6 iterations
+ at double precision. However, you will note that a high precision was used
+ in this example, exactly what was warned against earlier on in these docs!
+ In this particular case its possible to compute f(x) exactly and without
+ undue cancellation error, so a high limit is not too much of an issue.
+ However, reducing the limit to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">numeric_limits</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">T</span><span class="special">>::</span><span class="identifier">digits</span>
+ <span class="special">*</span> <span class="number">2</span> <span class="special">/</span> <span class="number">3</span></code> gave
+ full precision in all but one of the test cases (and that one was out by
+ just one bit). The maximum number of iterations remained 6, but in most
+ cases was reduced by one.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Note also that the above code omits error handling, and does not handle
+ negative values of z correctly. That will be left as an exercise for the
+ reader!

+<p>
+ Note that the iterations are set to stop at just one-half of full precision,
+ and yet even so not one of the test cases had a single bit wrong. What's
+ more, the maximum number of iterations was now just 4.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Just to complete the picture, we could have called <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">schroeder_iterate</span></code>
+ in the last example: and in fact it makes no difference to the accuracy
+ or number of iterations in this particular case. However, the relative
+ performance of these two methods may vary depending upon the nature of
+ f(x), and the accuracy to which the initial guess can be computed. There
+ appear to be no generalisations that can be made except "try them
+ and see".
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Finally, had we called cbrt with NTL::RR
+ set to 1000 bit precision, then full precision can be obtained with just
+ 7 iterations. To put that in perspective an increase in precision by a
+ factor of 20, has less than doubled the number of iterations. That just
+ goes to emphasise that most of the iterations are used up getting the first
+ few digits correct: after that these methods can churn out further digits
+ with remarkable efficiency. Or to put it another way: <span class="emphasis"><em>nothing
+ beats a really good initial guess!</em></span>

+<p>
+ These functions solve the root of some function <span class="emphasis"><em>f(x)</em></span>
+ without the need for the derivatives of <span class="emphasis"><em>f(x)</em></span>. The
+ functions here that use TOMS Algorithm 748 are asymptotically the most
+ efficient known, and have been shown to be optimal for a certain classes
+ of smooth functions.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Alternatively, there is a simple bisection routine which can be useful
+ in its own right in some situations, or alternatively for narrowing down
+ the range containing the root, prior to calling a more advanced algorithm.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ All the algorithms in this section reduce the diameter of the enclosing
+ interval with the same asymptotic efficiency with which they locate the
+ root. This is in contrast to the derivative based methods which may <span class="emphasis"><em>never</em></span>
+ significantly reduce the enclosing interval, even though they rapidly approach
+ the root. This is also in contrast to some other derivative-free methods
+ (for example the methods of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brent%27s_method" target="_top">Brent
+ or Dekker)</a> which only reduce the enclosing interval on the final
+ step. Therefore these methods return a std::pair containing the enclosing
+ interval found, and accept a function object specifying the termination
+ condition. Three function objects are provided for ready-made termination
+ conditions: <span class="emphasis"><em>eps_tolerance</em></span> causes termination when
+ the relative error in the enclosing interval is below a certain threshold,
+ while <span class="emphasis"><em>equal_floor</em></span> and <span class="emphasis"><em>equal_ceil</em></span>
+ are useful for certain statistical applications where the result is known
+ to be an integer. Other user-defined termination conditions are likely
+ to be used only rarely, but may be useful in some specific circumstances.

+ </h5>
+<p>
+ These algorithms are intended for the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_%28mathematics%29" target="_top">summation
+ of infinite series</a>.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Each of the algorithms takes a nullary-function object as the first argument:
+ the function object will be repeatedly invoked to pull successive terms
+ from the series being summed.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The second argument is the number of binary bits of precision required,
+ summation will stop when the next term is too small to have any effect
+ on the first <span class="emphasis"><em>bits</em></span> bits of the result.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The optional third argument <span class="emphasis"><em>max_terms</em></span> sets an upper
+ limit on the number of terms of the series to evaluate. In addition, on
+ exit the function will set <span class="emphasis"><em>max_terms</em></span> to the actual
+ number of terms of the series that were evaluated: this is particularly
+ useful for profiling the convergence properties of a new series.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The final optional argument <span class="emphasis"><em>init_value</em></span> is the initial
+ value of the sum to which the terms of the series should be added. This
+ is useful in two situations:
+ </p>
+<div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc">
+<li>
+ Where the first value of the series has a different formula to successive
+ terms. In this case the first value in the series can be passed as the
+ last argument and the logic of the function object can then be simplified
+ to return subsequent terms.
+ </li>
+<li>
+ Where the series is being added (or subtracted) from some other value:
+ termination of the series will likely occur much more rapidly if that
+ other value is passed as the last argument. For example, there are several
+ functions that can be expressed as <span class="emphasis"><em>1 - S(z)</em></span> where
+ S(z) is an infinite series. In this case, pass -1 as the last argument
+ and then negate the result of the summation to get the result of <span class="emphasis"><em>1
+ - S(z)</em></span>.
+ </li>
+</ul></div>
+<p>
+ The two <span class="emphasis"><em>kahan_sum_series</em></span> variants of these algorithms
+ maintain a carry term that corrects for roundoff error during summation.
+ They are inspired by the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kahan_Summation_Algorithm" target="_top"><span class="emphasis"><em>Kahan
+ Summation Formula</em></span></a> that appears in <a href="http://docs.sun.com/source/806-3568/ncg_goldberg.html" target="_top">What
+ Every Computer Scientist Should Know About Floating-Point Arithmetic</a>.
+ However, it should be pointed out that there are very few series that require
+ summation in this way.

+ and the Remez Algorithm</a>
+</h4></div></div></div>
+<p>
+ The directory libs/math/minimax contains a command line driven program
+ for the generation of minimax approximations using the Remez algorithm.
+ Both polynomial and rational approximations are supported, although the
+ latter are tricky to converge: it is not uncommon for convergence of rational
+ forms to fail. No such limitations are present for polynomial approximations
+ which should always converge smoothly.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ It's worth stressing that developing rational approximations to functions
+ is often not an easy task, and one to which many books have been devoted.
+ To use this tool, you will need to have a reasonable grasp of what the
+ Remez algorithm is, and the general form of the approximation you want
+ to achieve.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Unless you already familar with the Remez method you should first read
+ the <a class="link" href="../../backgrounders/remez.html" title="The Remez Method">brief background article
+ explaining the principals behind the Remez algorithm</a>.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The program consists of two parts:
+ </p>
+<div class="variablelist">
+<p class="title"><b></b></p>
+<dl>
+<dt><span class="term">main.cpp</span></dt>
+<dd><p>
+ Contains the command line parser, and all the calls to the Remez code.
+ </p></dd>
+<dt><span class="term">f.cpp</span></dt>
+<dd><p>
+ Contains the function to approximate.
+ </p></dd>
+</dl>
+</div>
+<p>
+ Therefore to use this tool, you must modify f.cpp to return the function
+ to approximate. The tools supports multiple function approximations within
+ the same compiled program: each as a separate variant:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">NTL</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">RR</span> <span class="identifier">f</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="keyword">const</span> <span class="identifier">NTL</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">RR</span><span class="special">&</span> <span class="identifier">x</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="keyword">int</span> <span class="identifier">variant</span><span class="special">);</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ Returns the value of the function <span class="emphasis"><em>variant</em></span> at point
+ <span class="emphasis"><em>x</em></span>. So if you wish you can just add the function to
+ approximate as a new variant after the existing examples.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ In addition to those two files, the program needs to be linked to a <a class="link" href="../../using_udt/use_ntl.html" title="Using With NTL - a High-Precision Floating-Point Library">patched NTL library to compile</a>.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Note that the function <span class="emphasis"><em>f</em></span> must return the rational
+ part of the approximation: for example if you are approximating a function
+ <span class="emphasis"><em>f(x)</em></span> then it is quite common to use:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">f</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">x</span><span class="special">)</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="identifier">g</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">x</span><span class="special">)(</span><span class="identifier">Y</span> <span class="special">+</span> <span class="identifier">R</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">x</span><span class="special">))</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ where <span class="emphasis"><em>g(x)</em></span> is the dominant part of <span class="emphasis"><em>f(x)</em></span>,
+ <span class="emphasis"><em>Y</em></span> is some constant, and <span class="emphasis"><em>R(x)</em></span>
+ is the rational approximation part, usually optimised for a low absolute
+ error compared to |Y|.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ In this case you would define <span class="emphasis"><em>f</em></span> to return <span class="emphasis"><em>f(x)/g(x)</em></span>
+ and then set the y-offset of the approximation to <span class="emphasis"><em>Y</em></span>
+ (see command line options below).
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Many other forms are possible, but in all cases the objective is to split
+ <span class="emphasis"><em>f(x)</em></span> into a dominant part that you can evaluate easily
+ using standard math functions, and a smooth and slowly changing rational
+ approximation part. Refer to your favourite textbook for more examples.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Command line options for the program are as follows:
+ </p>
+<div class="variablelist">
+<p class="title"><b></b></p>
+<dl>
+<dt><span class="term">variant N</span></dt>

+<dt><span class="term">range a b</span></dt>
+<dd><p>
+ Sets the domain for the approximation to the range [a,b], defaults

+ </p></dd>
+<dt><span class="term">relative</span></dt>
+<dd><p>

+ at program startup. Note that relative error can only be used if f(x)
+ has no roots over the range being optimised.
+ </p></dd>

+<dd><p>
+ "Pins" the code so that the rational approximation passes

+ a root at [0,0] while also optimising for relative error.
+ </p></dd>
+<dt><span class="term">order N D</span></dt>
+<dd><p>
+ Sets the order of the approximation to <span class="emphasis"><em>N</em></span> in the
+ numerator and <span class="emphasis"><em>D</em></span> in the denominator. If <span class="emphasis"><em>D</em></span>
+ is zero then the result will be a polynomial approximation. There will
+ be N+D+2 coefficients in total, the first coefficient of the numerator
+ is zero if <span class="emphasis"><em>pin</em></span> was set to true, and the first
+ coefficient of the denominator is always one.
+ </p></dd>
+<dt><span class="term">working-precision N</span></dt>

+ Sets the precision of printed output to <span class="emphasis"><em>N</em></span> binary

+ </p></dd>
+<dt><span class="term">skew val</span></dt>
+<dd><p>
+ "Skews" the initial interpolated control points towards one

+ is unspecified. After each step prints: the peek error at the extrema
+ of the error function of the approximation, the theoretical error term
+ solved for on the last step, and the maximum relative change in the

+<dd><p>
+ Tests the current approximation at float, double, or long double precision.

+<dd><p>
+ Tests the current approximation at float, double, or long double precision.
+ Useful to check for rounding errors in evaluating the approximation
+ at fixed precision. Tests are conducted at N evenly spaced points over
+ the range of the approximation. If none of [float|double|long] are
+ specified then tests using NTL::RR, this can be used to obtain the
+ error function of the approximation.

+ </h5>
+<p>
+ This is a fairly trivial class for polynomial manipulation.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Implementation is currently of the "naive" variety, with O(N^2)
+ multiplication for example. This class should not be used in high-performance
+ computing environments: it is intended for the simple manipulation of small
+ polynomials, typically generated for special function approximation.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Advanced manipulations: the FFT, division, GCD, factorisation etc are not
+ currently provided. Submissions for these are of course welcome :-)

+ 2: Creating Test Data</a>
+ </h6>
+<p>
+ As a second example, let's suppose we want to create highly accurate test
+ data for a special function. Since many special functions have two or more
+ independent parameters, it's very hard to effectively cover all of the
+ possible parameter space without generating gigabytes of data at great
+ computational expense. A second best approach is to provide the tools by
+ which a user (or the library maintainer) can quickly generate more data
+ on demand to probe the function over a particular domain of interest.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ In this example we'll generate test data for the beta function using NTL::RR at 1000 bit precision.
+ Rather than call our generic version of the beta function, we'll implement
+ a deliberately naive version of the beta function using lgamma, and rely
+ on the high precision of the data type used to get results accurate to
+ at least 128-bit precision. In this way our test data is independent of
+ whatever clever tricks we may wish to use inside the our beta function.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ To start with then, here's the function object that creates the test data:

+</pre>
+<p>
+ Prompts the user for the parameter range and form to use.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Finally, if we don't want the parameter to be included in the output, we
+ can tell test_data by setting it a "dummy parameter":
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">parameter_info</span><span class="special"><</span><span class="keyword">double</span><span class="special">></span> <span class="identifier">p</span> <span class="special">=</span> <span class="identifier">make_random_param</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="number">2.0</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="number">5.0</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="number">10</span><span class="special">);</span>
+<span class="identifier">p</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">type</span> <span class="special">|=</span> <span class="identifier">dummy_param</span><span class="special">;</span>
+</pre>
+<p>
+ This is useful when the functor used transforms the parameter in some way
+ before passing it to the function under test, usually the functor will
+ then return both the transformed input and the result in a tuple, so there's
+ no need for the original pseudo-parameter to be included in program output.

+<p>
+ <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">std_real_concept</span></code> is an archetype
+ for the built-in Real types.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The main purpose in providing this type is to verify that standard library
+ functions are found via a using declaration - bringing those functions into
+ the current scope - and not just because they happen to be in global scope.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ In order to ensure that a call to say <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">pow</span></code>
+ can be found either via argument dependent lookup, or failing that then in
+ the std namespace: all calls to standard library functions are unqualified,
+ with the std:: versions found via a using declaration to make them visible
+ in the current scope. Unfortunately it's all to easy to forget the using
+ declaration, and call the double version of the function that happens to
+ be in the global scope by mistake.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ For example if the code calls ::pow rather than std::pow, the code will cleanly
+ compile, but truncation of long doubles to double will cause a significant
+ loss of precision. In contrast a template instantiated with std_real_concept
+ will <span class="bold"><strong>only</strong></span> compile if the all the standard
+ library functions used have been brought into the current scope with a using
+ declaration.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ There is a test program libs/math/test/std_real_concept_check.cpp
+ that instantiates every template in this library with type <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">std_real_concept</span></code> to verify it's usage of
+ standard library functions.

+ <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">real_concept</span></code> is an archetype
+ for <a class="link" href="concepts.html" title="Conceptual Requirements for Real Number Types">user defined real types</a>,
+ it declares it's standard library functions in it's own namespace: these
+ will only be found if they are called unqualified allowing argument dependent
+ lookup to locate them. In addition this type is useable at runtime: this
+ allows code that would not otherwise be exercised by the built-in floating
+ point types to be tested. There is no std::numeric_limits<> support
+ for this type, since this is not a conceptual requirement for <a class="link" href="concepts.html" title="Conceptual Requirements for Real Number Types">RealType</a>'s.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ NTL RR is an example of a type meeting the requirements that this type models,
+ but note that use of a thin wrapper class is required: refer to <a class="link" href="use_ntl.html" title="Using With NTL - a High-Precision Floating-Point Library">"Using
+ With NTL - a High-Precision Floating-Point Library"</a>.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ There is no specific test case for type <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">real_concept</span></code>,
+ instead, since this type is usable at runtime, each individual test case
+ as well as testing <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">float</span></code>, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">double</span></code> and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">long</span>

+ The class template <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">distribution_archetype</span></code>
+ is a model of the <a class="link" href="dist_concept.html" title="Conceptual Requirements for Distribution Types">Distribution
+ concept</a>.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The class template <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">DistributionConcept</span></code>
+ is a <a href="../../../../../../../libs/concept_check/index.html" target="_top">concept checking
+ class</a> for distribution types.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The test program distribution_concept_check.cpp
+ is responsible for using <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">DistributionConcept</span></code>
+ to verify that all the distributions in this library conform to the <a class="link" href="dist_concept.html" title="Conceptual Requirements for Distribution Types">Distribution concept</a>.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The class template <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">DistributionConcept</span></code>
+ verifies the existence (but not proper function) of the non-member accessors
+ required by the <a class="link" href="dist_concept.html" title="Conceptual Requirements for Distribution Types">Distribution
+ concept</a>. These are checked by calls like
+ </p>
+<p>
+ v = pdf(dist, x); // (Result v is ignored).
+ </p>
+<p>
+ And in addition, those that accept two arguments do the right thing when
+ the arguments are of different types (the result type is always the same
+ as the distribution's value_type). (This is implemented by some additional
+ forwarding-functions in derived_accessors.hpp, so that there is no need for
+ any code changes. Likewise boilerplate versions of the hazard/chf/coefficient_of_variation
+ functions are implemented in there too.)

+<p>
+ The functions, and statistical distributions in this library can be used
+ with any type <span class="emphasis"><em>RealType</em></span> that meets the conceptual requirements
+ given below. All the built in floating point types will meet these requirements.
+ User defined types that meet the requirements can also be used. For example,
+ with <a class="link" href="use_ntl.html" title="Using With NTL - a High-Precision Floating-Point Library">a thin wrapper class</a>
+ one of the types provided with NTL (RR)
+ can be used. Submissions of binding to other extended precision types would
+ also be most welcome!
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The guiding principal behind these requirements, is that a <span class="emphasis"><em>RealType</em></span>
+ behaves just like a built in floating point type.

+ In addition, for efficient and accurate results, a <a class="link" href="../backgrounders/lanczos.html" title="The Lanczos Approximation">Lanczos
+ approximation</a> is highly desirable. You may be able to adapt an existing
+ approximation from boost/math/special_functions/lanczos.hpp
+ or libs/math/tools/ntl_rr_lanczos.hpp:
+ you will need change static_cast's to lexical_cast's, and the constants to
+ <span class="emphasis"><em>strings</em></span> (in order to ensure the coefficients aren't
+ truncated to long double) and then specialise <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">lanczos_traits</span></code>
+ for type T. Otherwise you may have to hack libs/math/tools/lanczos_generator.cpp
+ to find a suitable approximation for your RealType. The code will still compile
+ if you don't do this, but both accuracy and efficiency will be greatly compromised
+ in any function that makes use of the gamma/beta/erf family of functions.

+ Unfortunately <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">mpfr_class</span></code>
+ doesn't quite satisfy our conceptual requirements, so there is a very thin
+ set of additional interfaces and some helper traits defined in boost/math/bindings/mpfr.hpp
+ that you should use in place of including 'gmpfrxx.h' directly. The existing
+ mpfr_class is then usable unchanged once this header is included, so it's
