gammaln
Natural logarithm of the gamma function.
Installation
npm install @stdlib/math-base-special-gammaln
Usage
var gammaln = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-gammaln' );
gammaln( x )
Evaluates the natural logarithm of the gamma function.
var v = gammaln( 2.0 );
// returns 0.0
v = gammaln( 1.0 );
// returns 0.0
v = gammaln( 4.0 );
// returns ~1.792
v = gammaln( -0.5 );
// returns ~1.266
v = gammaln( 0.5 );
// returns ~0.572
v = gammaln( 0.0 );
// returns Infinity
v = gammaln( NaN );
// returns NaN
Examples
var linspace = require( '@stdlib/array-base-linspace' );
var gammaln = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-gammaln' );
var x = linspace( -10.0, 10.0, 100 );
var i;
for ( i = 0; i < x.length; i++ ) {
console.log( 'x: %d, f(x): %d', x[ i ], gammaln( x[ i ] ) );
}
