Alex Herbert commented on NUMBERS-167:
--------------------------------------
A similar change to precompute factors for the RegularizedBeta function I(x; a,
b) would be useful in Commons statistics for:
BetaDistribution
FDistribution
TDistribution
These all call the function with fixed a and b.
> RegularizedGamma.P with precomputed LogGamma value
> --------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: NUMBERS-167
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUMBERS-167
> Project: Commons Numbers
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: gamma
> Reporter: Gilles Sadowski
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.1
>
> Time Spent: 10m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> We have
> {code:java}
> double v = RegularizedGamma.P.value(a, x);
> {code}
> where method {{value}} internally calls {{LogGamma.value(a)}}.
> There is a use-case for
> {code:java}
> double logGammaA = LogGamma.value(a);
> double v = RegularizedGamma.P.value(a, x, logGammaA);
> {code}
> for when the user varies {{x}} but not {{a}}.
> Method name TBD: Another overload of {{value}} may be confusing (?).
