Package Exports

@stdlib/math-base-special-gamma1pm1

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@stdlib/math-base-special-gamma1pm1) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

gamma1pm1

$NPM version$ $Build Status$ $Coverage Status$ $dependencies$

Compute gamma(x+1) - 1.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/math-base-special-gamma1pm1

Usage

var gamma1pm1 = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-gamma1pm1' );

gamma1pm1( x )

Computes gamma(x+1) - 1 without cancellation errors for small x and where gamma(x) is the gamma function.

var v = gamma1pm1( 0.2 );
// returns ~-0.082

v = gamma1pm1( -8.5 );
// returns ~-1.0

v = gamma1pm1( 0.0 );
// returns 0.0

v = gamma1pm1( NaN );
// returns NaN

Examples

var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-base-randu' );
var gamma1pm1 = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-gamma1pm1' );

var x;
var i;

for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
    x = (randu()*10.0) - 5.0;
    console.log( 'gamma(%d+1) - 1 = %d', x, gamma1pm1( x ) );
}
