PDL::GSLSF::GAMMA - PDL interface to GSL Special Functions
This is an interface to the Special Function package present in the GNU Scientific Library.
Signature: (double x(); double [o]y(); double [o]s(); double [o]e())
Log[Gamma(x)], x not a negative integer Uses real Lanczos method. Determines the sign of Gamma[x] as well as Log[|Gamma[x]|] for x < 0. So Gamma[x] = sgn * Exp[result_lg].
gsl_sf_lngamma does not process bad values. It will set the bad-value flag of all output ndarrays if the flag is set for any of the input ndarrays.
Signature: (double x(); double [o]y(); double [o]e())
Gamma(x), x not a negative integer

Signature: (double x(); double [o]y(); double [o]e())
Regulated Gamma Function, x > 0 Gamma^*(x) = Gamma(x)/(Sqrt[2Pi] x^(x-1/2) exp(-x)) = (1 + 1/(12x) + ...), x->Inf
