Properties
The maximum number of iterations permitted in the chi-square cdf computation
The maximum number of iterations permitted for the incomplete gamma function evaluation process
Below this probability, invCDF uses the closed-form lower-tail asymptotic seed instead of AS 91. The asymptotic x ~ scale * (p * shape * Gamma(shape))^(1/shape) has leading-order error O(p^(1/shape)), which is below 1e-3 once p drops below ~1e-12 for typical shape values.
Functions
Computes the digamma function using AS 103
Computes the gamma function at x
Computes the natural logarithm of the gamma function at x. Useful when x gets large.
Computes the parameters (shape and scale) by matching to mean and variance element0 = shape element1 = scale
Computes the parameters (shape and scale) by matching to mean and variance element0 = shape element1 = scale
