math-functions: efficient, special purpose mathematical functions

This package provides a number of special-purpose mathematical functions used in statistical and numerical computing.

Where possible, we give citations and computational complexity estimates for the algorithms used.

Changes

Changes in 0.2.1.0

  • log1p and expm1 are simply reexported from GHC.Float. They’re methods of Floating type class.

  • On windows expm1 is implemented in pure haskell for older GHCs.

Changes in 0.2.0.0

  • Bug fixes and documentation tweaks

Changes in 0.2.0.0

  • logGamma now uses Lancsoz approximation and same as logGammaL. Old implementation of logGamma moved to Numeric.SpecFunctions.Extra.logGammaAS245.

  • Precision of logGamma for z<1 improved.

  • New much more precise implementation for incompleteGamma

  • Dependency on erf pacakge dropped. erf and erfc just do direct calls to C.

  • Numeric.SpecFunctions.expm1 added

  • Numeric.SpecFunctions.log1pmx added.

  • logGammaCorrection exported in Numeric.SpecFunctions.Extra.

  • Module Numeric.Series added for working with infinite sequences, series summation and evaluation of continued fractions.

  • Module statistics: Statistics.Math.RootFinding copied to Numeric.RootFinding. Instances for binary and aeson dropped.

  • Root-finding using Newton-Raphson added

  • Numeric.MathFunctions.Comparison.ulpDelta added. It calculates signed distance between two doubles.

  • Other bug fixes.

Changes in 0.1.7.0

  • Module statistics: Statistics.Function.Comparison moved to Numeric.MathFunctions.Comparison. Old implementation if within compared negative numbers incorrectly.

  • addUlps and ulpDistance added to Numeric.MathFunctions.Comparison.

  • relativeError and eqRelErr added to Numeric.MathFunctions.Comparison.

  • Precision of logFactorial is slightly improved.

Changes in 0.1.6.0

  • logChoose added for calculation of logarithm of binomial coefficient

  • chooseExact and logChooseFast added

  • sinc added

Changes in 0.1.5.3

  • Fix for test suite on 32bit platform

Changes in 0.1.5

  • Numeric.Sum: new module adds accurate floating point summation.

Changes in 0.1.4

  • logFactorial type is genberalized. It accepts any Integral type

  • Evaluation of polynomials using Horner’s method where coefficients are store in lists added

Changes in 0.1.3

  • Error function and its inverse added.

  • Digamma function added

  • Evaluation of polynomials using Horner’s method added.

  • Crash bug in the inverse incomplete beta fixed.
