          mode, diag, nprint)

c05pd

Scheduled for withdrawal at Mark 25.
Replaced by nag_roots_sys_deriv_rcomm (c05rd).

Old: [irevcm, x, fvec, diag, fjac, r, qtf, w, ifail] = c05pd(irevcm, x, fvec, ...
          fjac, diag, mode, r, qtf, w)
New: iwsav = zeros(17, 1, 'int64');
     rwsav = zeros(4*n + 10, 1);

NEW: [xp, err, ifail] = c05zd(mode, x, fvec, fjac, fvecp);

The array xp must now have dimension n regardless of the value of mode, and likewise err must now have dimension m regardless. The parameter ifail is the standard NAG parameter for error trapping. If you are unfamiliar with this parameter you should refer to Section [Error Handling and the IFAIL] in the (essin) for details.

C06 – Summation of Series

c06db

Scheduled for withdrawal at Mark 25.
Replaced by nag_sum_chebyshev (c06dc).

Old: for i=1:lx

     if (s == 1 || s == 2 || s == 3)
        s_use = s;
     else
        s_use = 2;
     end

     [result, ifail] = c06dc(x,xmin,xmax,c,s_use);

The old function c06db returns a single sum at a time, whereas the new function nag_sum_chebyshev (c06dc) returns a vector of lx values at once. The parameter ifail is the standard NAG parameter for error trapping. If you are unfamiliar with this parameter you should refer to Section [Error Handling and the IFAIL] in the (essin) for details.

E04 – Minimizing or Maximizing a Function

e04cc

Scheduled for withdrawal at Mark 24.
Replaced by nag_opt_uncon_simplex (e04cb).

New: [x, f, user, ifail] = e04cb(x, tolf, tolx, funct, monit3, maxcal, 'n', n, 'user', user)

The new function can be derived from the old as follows:

       function user = monit3(fmin, fmax, sim, n, ncall, serror, vratio, user)
       user = monit2(fmin,fmax,sim,n,n+1,ncall,user);
%      Add code here to monitor the values of serror and vratio, if necessary

e04un

Withdrawn at Mark 22.
Replaced by nag_opt_lsq_gencon_deriv (e04us).

The specification of the subroutine objfun must also be changed as follows:

Old: [iter, istate, c, cjac, f, fjac, clamda, objf, r, x, user, ...
      ifail] = ...
     e04un(a, bl, bu, y, confun, objfun, istate, cjac, fjac, clamda, r, ...
           x, 'm', m, 'n', n, 'nclin', nclin, 'ncnln', ncnln, 'user', user)
New: [iter, istate, c, cjac, f, fjac, clamda, objf, r, x, user, ...
      lwsav, iwsav, rwsav, ifail] = ...
     e04us(a, bl, bu, y, confun, objfun, istate, cjac, fjac, clamda, r, ...
           x, lwsav, iwsav, rwsav, 'm', m, 'n', n, 'nclin', nclin, ...
           'ncnln', ncnln, 'user', user)

The specification of the subroutine objfun must also be changed as follows:

Old: [mode, f, fjac, user] = objfun(mode, m, n, ldfj, x, fjac, nstate, user)
New: [mode, f, fjac, user] = objfun(mode, m, n, ldfj, needfi, x, fjac, nstate, user)

New: if matv 
       jobvr = 'v';
     else
       jobvr = 'n';

     else
       jobvs = 'v';
     end
     [a, sdim, wr, wi, vs, info] = f08pa(jobvs, 'n', select, a, 'n', n);

     else
       jobvr = 'v';
     end
     [a, wr, wi, vl, vr, info] = f08na('n', jobvr, a, 'n', n);

Note that Eigenvector information is stored differently in vr. See the function documents for further details.

f02fa

Withdrawn at Mark 23.
Replaced by nag_lapack_dsyev (f08fa).

Old: [a, w, ifail] = f02fa(job, uplo, a, 'n', n);
New: [a, w, info] = f08fa(jobz, uplo, a, 'n', n);

The minimum workspace requirement has changed to become lwork = 3 × n

f02ga

Replaced by nag_lapack_zgees (f08pn).

Old: [a, w, z, ifail] = f02ga(job, a, 'n', n);

       jobvs = 'v';
     end
     [a, sdim, w, z, info] = f08pn(jobvs, 'n', select, a, 'n', n);

                   f08wn('n', jobvr, complex(ar,ai), complex(br,bi), 'n', n);
     % Note that the results are single complex objects, rather than the
     % real, imaginary pairs returned by f02gj

Note that the separated double and imaginary parts of input and output data in f02gj has been replaced by combined complex types in nag_lapack_zggev (f08wn).

f02ha

Withdrawn at Mark 23.
Replaced by nag_lapack_zheev (f08fn).

New: if wantq 
       jobu = 'a';
     else
       jobu = 'n';
     end 
     if wantp 
       jobvt = 'a';
     else
       jobvt = 'n';
     end 
     [a, sv, u, pt, info] = f08kb(jobu, jobvt, a, 'm', m, 'n', n);

work must be a one-dimensional double array of length at least lwork given by: max (1, 3 × min (m,n) + max (m,n) , 5 × min (m,n) )

Larger values of lwork, up to some optimal value, may improve performance.

Please note that the facility to return Q^T × b is not provided so arguments wantb and b are not required. Instead, nag_lapack_dgesvd (f08kb) has an option to return the entire m * m orthogonal matrix Q, referred to as u in its documentation, through its 8th argument.

f02xe

Withdrawn at Mark 23.
Replaced by nag_lapack_zgesvd (f08kp).

Old: [a, b, q, sv, ph, rwork, ifail] = f02xe(a, b, wantq, wantp, 'm', m, 'n', n, 'ncolb', ncolb);

     end
     if wantp
       jobvt = 'a';

       jobvt = 'n';
     end
     [a, sv, q, ph, info] = f08kp(jobu, jobvt, a, 'm', m, 'n', n);

work must be a one-dimensional double array of length at least lwork given by: max (1, 3 × min (m,n) + max (m,n) , 5 × min (m,n) )

Larger values of lwork, up to some optimal value, may improve performance.

F03 – Determinants

f03aa

Scheduled for withdrawal at Mark 25.
Replaced by nag_lapack_dgetrf (f07ad) and nag_det_real_gen (f03ba).

OLD: [a, det, ifail] = f03aa(a);
NEW: ...
[a, ipiv, info] = f07ad(a);
[d, id, ifail] = f03ba(a, ipiv);
det = d*2^id;

f03ab

Scheduled for withdrawal at Mark 25.
Replaced by nag_lapack_dpotrf (f07fd) and nag_det_real_sym (f03bf).

OLD: [a, det, ifail] = f03ab(a);
NEW: ...
[a, info] = f07fd('u', a);
[d, id, ifail] = f03bf(a); 
det = d*2^id;

Note: the upper triangular part of A, stored in a, has been replaced here by its Cholesky factorization; the lower triangular part of A can be used and overwritten by replacing 'u' by 'l' in the call to nag_lapack_dpotrf (f07fd) above.

f03ac

Scheduled for withdrawal at Mark 25.
Replaced by nag_lapack_dpbtrf (f07hd) and nag_det_real_band_sym (f03bh).

NEW: ...
[ab, info] = f07hd('l', kd, ab);
[d, id, ifail] = f03bh('l', kd, ab);
det = d*2^id;`

Note: the storage of A in arrays a and ab is different. In fact ab(i,j) = a(j,i), for i = 1,2, … ,m and j = max (1,i − m),, … ,i which conforms to the LAPACK banded storage scheme. The factorization is returned in ab rather than in a separate array (rl). The upper part of matrix A can also be stored in ab on input to nag_lapack_dpbtrf (f07hd).

f03ad

Scheduled for withdrawal at Mark 25.
Replaced by nag_lapack_zgetrf (f07ar) and nag_det_complex_gen (f03bn).

OLD: [a, detr, deti, ifail] = f03ad(a);
New: ...
[a, ipiv, info] = f07ar(a);
[d, id, ifail] = f03bn(a, ipiv);
detr = real(d)*2^id;
deti = imag(d)*2^id;

Note: the real and imaginary parts of the determinant are independently scaled.

f03ae

Scheduled for withdrawal at Mark 25.
Replaced by nag_lapack_dpotrf (f07fd) and nag_det_real_sym (f03bf).

OLD: [a, p, d1, id, ifail] = f03ae(a);
NEW: ...
[a, info] = f07fd('u', a);
[d, id, ifail] = f03bf(a);

Note: the upper triangular part of A, stored in a, has been replaced here by its Cholesky factorization; the lower triangular part of A can be used and overwritten by replacing uplo = 'U' by uplo = 'L' in the call to nag_lapack_dpotrf (f07fd) above.

f03af

Scheduled for withdrawal at Mark 25.
Replaced by nag_lapack_dgetrf (f07ad) and nag_det_real_gen (f03ba).

OLD: [a, d1, id, p, ifail] = f03af(epsilon, a);
NEW: ...
[a, ipiv, info] = f07ad(a);
[d, id, ifail] = f03ba(a, ipiv);

Note: real array p has been replaced by the integer array ipiv for holding the pivots of the factorization.

F04 – Simultaneous Linear Equations

f04aa

Withdrawn at Mark 23.
Replaced by nag_lapack_dgesv (f07aa).

Old: [a, c, ifail] = f04aa(a, b, 'n', n, 'm', m);

New: [ab, b, info] = f07ha('u', n, ab, b, 'n', n, 'nrhs_p', nrhs_p) ;

Note that a and ab are stored differently. With the 'U' option, ab may be regarded as the transpose of a. Note also that the answer is now stored in b.

f04ad

Withdrawn at Mark 23.
Replaced by nag_lapack_zgesv (f07an).

Old: [a, c, ifail] = f04ad(a, b, 'n', n, 'm', m);
New: [a, ipiv, b, info] = f07an(a, b, 'n', n, 'nrhs_p', nrhs_p);

Note that the answer is now in b.

Replaced by nag_rand_dist_uniform01 (g05sa).

Old: for i=1:n
       x(i) = g05ca;
     end
New: [state, x, ifail] = g05sa(n, state);

The integer array state in the call to nag_rand_dist_uniform01 (g05sa) contains information on the base generator being used. This array must have been initialized prior to calling nag_rand_dist_uniform01 (g05sa) with a call to either nag_rand_init_repeat (g05kf) or nag_rand_init_nonrepeat (g05kg). Due to changes in the underlying code the sequence of values produced by nag_rand_dist_uniform01 (g05sa) is likely to be different from those produced by g05ca.

The integer array state in the call to nag_rand_init_repeat (g05kf) contains information on the base generator being used. The base generator is chosen via the integer parameters genid and subid. The required length of the array state depends on the base generator chosen. Due to changes in the underlying code a sequence of values produced by using a random number generator initialized via a call to nag_rand_init_repeat (g05kf) is likely to be different from a sequence produced by a generator initialized by g05cb, even if the same value for ii is used.

New: [a, b] = sort([aa, bb]);
     [state, x, ifail] = g05sq(n, a, b, state);

The old function g05da returns a single variate at a time, whereas the new function nag_rand_dist_uniform (g05sq) returns a vector of n values in one go. In nag_rand_dist_uniform (g05sq) the minimum value must be held in the parameter a and the maximum in parameter b, therefore a < b. This was not the case for the equivalent parameters in g05da.

The integer array state in the call to nag_rand_dist_uniform (g05sq) contains information on the base generator being used. This array must have been initialized prior to calling nag_rand_dist_uniform (g05sq) with a call to either nag_rand_init_repeat (g05kf) or nag_rand_init_nonrepeat (g05kg).

The integer array state in the call to nag_rand_dist_exp (g05sf) contains information on the base generator being used. This array must have been initialized prior to calling nag_rand_dist_exp (g05sf) with a call to either nag_rand_init_repeat (g05kf) or nag_rand_init_nonrepeat (g05kg). Due to changes in the underlying code the sequence of values produced by nag_rand_dist_exp (g05sf) is likely to be different from those produced by g05db.

       x(i) = g05dd(xmu, sd);
     end
New: [state, x, ifail] = g05sk(n, xmu, sd^2, state);

The old function g05dd returns a single variate at a time, whereas the new function nag_rand_dist_normal (g05sk) returns a vector of n values in one go. nag_rand_dist_normal (g05sk) expects the variance of the Normal distribution (parameter var), compared to g05dd which expected the standard deviation.

The integer array state in the call to nag_rand_dist_normal (g05sk) contains information on the base generator being used. This array must have been initialized prior to calling nag_rand_dist_normal (g05sk) with a call to either nag_rand_init_repeat (g05kf) or nag_rand_init_nonrepeat (g05kg).

The integer array state in the call to nag_rand_dist_lognormal (g05sm) contains information on the base generator being used. This array must have been initialized prior to calling nag_rand_dist_lognormal (g05sm) with a call to either nag_rand_init_repeat (g05kf) or nag_rand_init_nonrepeat (g05kg). Due to changes in the underlying code the sequence of values produced by nag_rand_dist_lognormal (g05sm) is likely to be different from those produced by g05de.

The old function g05df returns a single variate at a time, whereas the new function nag_rand_dist_cauchy (g05sc) returns a vector of n values in one go. nag_rand_dist_cauchy (g05sc) expects the semi-interquartile range (parameter semiqr) to be non-negative, this was not the case for the equivalent parameter in g05df.

The integer array state in the call to nag_rand_dist_cauchy (g05sc) contains information on the base generator being used. This array must have been initialized prior to calling nag_rand_dist_cauchy (g05sc) with a call to either nag_rand_init_repeat (g05kf) or nag_rand_init_nonrepeat (g05kg).

This array must have been initialized prior to calling nag_rand_dist_chisq (g05sd) with a call to either nag_rand_init_repeat (g05kf) or nag_rand_init_nonrepeat (g05kg). Due to changes in the underlying code the sequence of values produced by nag_rand_dist_chisq (g05sd) is likely to be different from those produced by g05dh.

       [x(i), ifail] = g05dr(lambda);
     end
New: [r, state, x, ifail] = g05tj(int64(3), n, lambda, r, state);

The old function g05dr returns a single variate at a time, whereas the new function nag_rand_int_poisson (g05tj) returns a vector of n values in one go. For efficiency, the new function can make use of a reference vector, r. If, as in this case, the integer parameter mode is set to 3, the real reference vector r is not referenced.

The integer array state in the call to nag_rand_int_poisson (g05tj) contains information on the base generator being used. This array must have been initialized prior to calling nag_rand_int_poisson (g05tj) with a call to either nag_rand_init_repeat (g05kf) or nag_rand_init_nonrepeat (g05kg). Due to changes in the underlying code the sequence of values produced by nag_rand_int_poisson (g05tj) is likely to be different from those produced by g05dr.

g05dy

Withdrawn at Mark 22.
Replaced by nag_rand_int_uniform (g05tl).

Old: for i=1:n
       x(i) = g05dy(aa, bb);
     end
New: [a, b] = sort([aa, bb]);
     [state, x, ifail] = g05tl(n, a, b, state);

The old function g05dy returns a single variate at a time, whereas the new function nag_rand_int_uniform (g05tl) returns a vector of n values in one go. In nag_rand_int_uniform (g05tl) the minimum value must be held in the parameter a and the maximum in parameter b, therefore a ≤ b. This was not the case for the equivalent parameters in g05dy.

The integer array state in the call to nag_rand_int_uniform (g05tl) contains information on the base generator being used. This array must have been initialized prior to calling nag_rand_int_uniform (g05tl) with a call to either nag_rand_init_repeat (g05kf) or nag_rand_init_nonrepeat (g05kg). Due to changes in the underlying code the sequence of values produced by nag_rand_int_uniform (g05tl) is likely to be different from those produced by g05dy.

g05dz

Withdrawn at Mark 22.
Replaced by nag_rand_logical (g05tb).

Old: for i=1:n
       x(i) = g05dz(pp);
     end
New: p = max(0, min(pp, 1));
     [state, x, ifail] = g05tb(n, p, state);

The old function g05dz returns a single variate at a time, whereas the new function nag_rand_logical (g05tb) returns a vector of n values in one go. The double parameter p in nag_rand_logical (g05tb) must not be less than zero or greater than one, this was not the case for the equivalent parameter in g05dz.

The integer array state in the call to nag_rand_logical (g05tb) contains information on the base generator being used. This array must have been initialized prior to calling nag_rand_logical (g05tb) with a call to either nag_rand_init_repeat (g05kf) or nag_rand_init_nonrepeat (g05kg). Due to changes in the underlying code the sequence of values produced by nag_rand_logical (g05tb) is likely to be different from those produced by g05dz.

g05ea

Withdrawn at Mark 22.
Replaced by nag_rand_multivar_normal (g05rz).

Old: [r1, ifail] = g05ea(xmu, c, eps, lr1, 'n', m);
New: [r, state, x, ifail] = g05rz(int64(0), n, xmu, c, r, state, 'm', m, 'lr', lr);

The old function g05ea sets up a reference vector for use by g05ez. The functionality of both these functions has been combined into the single new function nag_rand_multivar_normal (g05rz). Setting mode = 0 in the call to nag_rand_multivar_normal (g05rz) only sets up the double reference vector r and hence mimics the functionality of g05ea.

The length of the double reference vector, r, in nag_rand_multivar_normal (g05rz) must be at least m × (m + 1) + 1. In contrast to the equivalent parameter in g05ea, this array must be allocated in the calling program.

g05eb

Withdrawn at Mark 22.
Replaced by nag_rand_int_uniform (g05tl).

There is no direct replacement for function g05eb. g05eb sets up a reference vector for use by g05ey, this reference vector is no longer required. The replacement function for g05ey is nag_rand_int_uniform (g05tl).

g05ec

Withdrawn at Mark 22.
Replaced by nag_rand_int_poisson (g05tj).

Old: [r1, ifail] = g05ec(lambda, lr1);
     for i=1:n
       x(i) = g05ey(r1);
     end
New: [r, state, x, ifail] = g05tj(int64(2), n, lambda, r, state);

The old function g05ec sets up a reference vector for use by g05ey. The replacement function nag_rand_int_poisson (g05tj) is now used to both set up a reference vector and generate the required variates. Setting mode = 0 in the call to nag_rand_int_poisson (g05tj) sets up the double reference vector r and hence mimics the functionality of g05ec. Setting mode = 1 generates a series of variates from a reference vector mimicking the functionality of g05ey for this particular distribution. Setting mode = 2 initializes the reference vector and generates the variates in one go.

The function g05ey returns a single variate at a time, whereas the new function nag_rand_int_poisson (g05tj) returns a vector of n values in one go.

The length of the double reference vector, r, in nag_rand_int_poisson (g05tj), must be allocated in the calling program in contrast to the equivalent parameter in g05ec, see the documentation for more details.

     end
New: [r, state, x, ifail] = g05ta(int64(2), n, m, p, r, state);

The old function g05ed sets up a reference vector for use by g05ey. The replacement function nag_rand_int_binomial (g05ta) is now used to both set up a reference vector and generate the required variates. Setting mode = 0 in the call to nag_rand_int_binomial (g05ta) sets up the double reference vector r and hence mimics the functionality of g05ed. Setting mode = 1 generates a series of variates from a reference vector mimicking the functionality of g05ey for this particular distribution. Setting mode = 2 initializes the reference vector and generates the variates in one go.

The function g05ey returns a single variate at a time, whereas the new function nag_rand_int_binomial (g05ta) returns a vector of n values in one go.

This array must have been initialized prior to calling nag_rand_int_binomial (g05ta) with a call to either nag_rand_init_repeat (g05kf) or nag_rand_init_nonrepeat (g05kg). Due to changes in the underlying code the sequence of values produced by nag_rand_int_binomial (g05ta) is likely to be different from those produced by a combination of g05ed and g05ey.

The old function g05eg sets up a reference vector for use by g05ew. The replacement function nag_rand_times_arma (g05ph) is now used to both set up a reference vector and generate the required variates. Setting mode = 0 in the call to nag_rand_times_arma (g05ph) sets up the double reference vector r and hence mimics the functionality of g05eg.

     end
New: mode = int64(2);
     [r, state, x, ifail] = g05td(mode, n, p, ip1, itype, r, state, 'np', np);

The old function g05ex sets up a reference vector for use by g05ey. The replacement function nag_rand_int_general (g05td) is now used to both set up a reference vector and generate the required variates. Setting mode = 0 in the call to nag_rand_int_general (g05td) sets up the double reference vector r and hence mimics the functionality of g05ex.

g05ey

Withdrawn at Mark 22.
Replaced by nag_rand_int_general (g05td).

There is no direct replacement function for g05ey.

g05ey is designed to generate random draws from a distribution defined by a reference vector. These reference vectors are created by other functions in Chapter G05, for example g05eb, which have themselves been superseded. In order to replace a call to g05ey you must identify which NAG function generated the reference vector being used and look up its replacement. For example, to replace a call to g05ey preceded by a call to g05eb, as in:

    [r, ifail] = g05eb(m, n, nr);
    x = g05ey(r);

you would need to look at the replacement function for g05eb.

g05ez

Withdrawn at Mark 22.
Replaced by nag_rand_multivar_normal (g05rz).

Old: [r1, ifail] = g05ea(xmu, c, eps, lr1, 'n', n);

     end
New: mode = int64(2);
     [r, state, x, ifail] = g05rz(mode, n, xmu, c, r, state, 'm', m, 'lr', lr);

The old function g05ea sets up a reference vector for use by g05ez. The functionality of both these functions has been combined into the single new function nag_rand_multivar_normal (g05rz). Setting mode = 2 in the call to nag_rand_multivar_normal (g05rz) sets up the double reference vector r and generates the draws from the multivariate Normal distribution in one go.

The old function g05ez returns a single (m-dimensional vector) draw from the multivariate Normal distribution at a time, whereas the new function nag_rand_multivar_normal (g05rz) returns an n by m matrix of n draws in one go.

The integer array state in the call to nag_rand_multivar_normal (g05rz) contains information on the base generator being used. This array must have been initialized prior to calling nag_rand_multivar_normal (g05rz) with a call to either nag_rand_init_repeat (g05kf) or nag_rand_init_nonrepeat (g05kg). Due to changes in the underlying code the sequence of values produced by nag_rand_multivar_normal (g05rz) is likely to be different from those produced by g05ez.

g05fa

     [state, x, ifail] = g05sq(n, a, b, state);

In nag_rand_dist_uniform (g05sq) the minimum value must be held in the parameter A and the maximum in parameter b, therefore a ≤ b. This was not the case for the equivalent parameters in g05fa.

g05fb

Withdrawn at Mark 22.
Replaced by nag_rand_dist_exp (g05sf).

Old: x = g05fb(a, n);
New: [state, x, ifail] = g05sf(n, abs(a), state);

In nag_rand_dist_exp (g05sf) parameter a must be non-negative, this was not the case for the equivalent parameter in g05fb.

g05fd

Withdrawn at Mark 22.
Replaced by nag_rand_dist_normal (g05sk).

Old: x = g05fd(xmu, sd, n);
New: var = sd^2;
     [state, x, ifail] = g05sk(n, xmu, var, state);

This array must have been initialized prior to calling nag_rand_matrix_orthog (g05px) with a call to either nag_rand_init_repeat (g05kf) or nag_rand_init_nonrepeat (g05kg).

This array must have been initialized prior to calling nag_rand_matrix_corr (g05py) with a call to either nag_rand_init_repeat (g05kf) or nag_rand_init_nonrepeat (g05kg).

                                    qq, ref, state, 'k', k, 'lr', lr)

The integer parameter imode should be set to 0, 1 or 3 in place of the parameter mode having settings of 'S', 'C' or 'R' respectively. The double array phi should have length at least max (1,ip × (k × k)) ; if dimensioned as phi(k,k,ip) (as in the above example) then phi (i,j,l) will contain the element par ((l − 1) × k × k + (i − 1) × k + j) . The double array theta should have length at least max (1,iq × (k × k)) ; if dimensioned as theta (k,k,iq) (as in the above example) then theta (i,j,l) will contain the element par (ip × k × k + (l − 1) × k × k + (i − 1) × k + j) . The double array xmean should have length at least k; if mean = 'M' then xmean (i) will contain the element par (ip + iq × k × k + i) , otherwise xmean should contain an array of zero values.

The integer array state in the call to nag_rand_times_mv_varma (g05pj) contains information on the base generator being used. This array must have been initialized prior to calling nag_rand_times_mv_varma (g05pj) with a call to either nag_rand_init_repeat (g05kf) or nag_rand_init_nonrepeat (g05kg).
