Package Exports

@stdlib/math-base-special-gammainc

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-gammainc) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

gammainc

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

Incomplete gamma function.

Evaluates the regularized lower incomplete gamma function:

$Regularized lower incomplete gamma function.$

The function can also be used to evaluate the regularized upper incomplete gamma function, which is defined as follows:

$Regularized upper incomplete gamma function.$

The two functions have the relationship Q(x,a) = 1 - P(x,a).

In addition, this routine can be used to evaluate the unregularized gamma functions. The range of above functions is [0,1], which is not the case for the unregularized versions. The unregularized lower incomplete gamma function is defined as

$Unregularized lower incomplete gamma function.$

and the upper unregularized incomplete gamma function is

$Unregularized upper incomplete gamma function.$

The relationship between the two functions is Γ(a,x) = γ(a,x) + Γ(a).

Installation

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

Usage

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

gammainc( x, s[, regularized[, upper ]] )

By default, evaluates the regularized lower incomplete gamma function for inputs x and s. The third and fourth parameters of the function can be used to specify whether instead to evaluate the non-regularized and/or upper incomplete gamma functions, respectively.

var y = gammainc( 6.0, 2.0 );
// returns ~0.9826

y = gammainc( 1.0, 2.0, true, true );
// returns ~0.7358

y = gammainc( 7.0, 5.0 );
// returns ~0.8270

y = gammainc( 7.0, 5.0, false );
// returns ~19.8482

If provided NaN as any argument, the function returns NaN.

var y = gammainc( NaN, 1.0 );
// returns NaN

y = gammainc( 1.0, NaN );
// returns NaN

If provided a negative x, the function returns NaN.

var y = gammainc( -2.0, 2.0 );
// returns NaN

If provided a nonpositive s, the function returns NaN.

var y = gammainc( 2.0, -1.0 );
// returns NaN

y = gammainc( 2.0, 0.0 );
// returns NaN

Examples

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

var i;
var x;
var s;

for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
    x = randu() * 10.0;
    s = randu() * 10.0;
    console.log( 'x: %d, \t s: %d, \t f(x,s): %d', x.toFixed( 4 ), s.toFixed( 4 ), gammainc( x, s ).toFixed( 4 ) );
}
