The problem is in src/nmath/pnbeta.c, which has an iteration limit of 100, not enough for these problems. Increasing the iteration limit to 1000 seems to work. -thomas On Mon, 24 Oct 2005, Ken Kelley wrote: > Hello all. > > It seems that the pf() function when used with noncentral p

[R] Problems with pf() with certain noncentral values/degrees of freedom combinations

2005-10-24 Thread Ken Kelley
Hello all. It seems that the pf() function when used with noncentral parameters can behave badly at times. I've included some examples below, but what is happening is that with some combinations of df and ncp parameters, regardless of how large the quantile gets, the same probability value is
