CL Name Style:


1 Purpose

g01euc returns the value of the Vavilov distribution function ΦV(λ;κ,β2).
It is intended to be used after a call to g01zuc.

2 Specification

#include <nag.h>
double  g01euc (double x, const double comm_arr[])
The function may be called by the names: g01euc, nag_stat_prob_vavilov or nag_prob_vavilov.

3 Description

g01euc evaluates an approximation to the Vavilov distribution function ΦV(λ;κ,β2) given by
ΦV(λ;κ,β2)=-λϕV(λ;κ,β2)dλ,  
where ϕ(λ) is described in g01muc. The method used is based on Fourier expansions. Further details can be found in Schorr (1974).

5 Arguments

1: x double Input
On entry: the argument λ of the function.
2: comm_arr[322] const double Communication Array
On entry: this must be the same argument comm_arr as returned by a previous call to g01zuc.

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

None.

7 Accuracy

At least five significant digits are usually correct.

8 Parallelism and Performance

g01euc is not threaded in any implementation.

9 Further Comments

g01euc can be called repeatedly with different values of λ provided that the values of κ and β2 remain unchanged between calls. Otherwise, g01zuc must be called again. This is illustrated in Section 10.

10 Example

This example evaluates ΦV(λ;κ,β2) at λ=0.1, κ=2.5 and β2=0.7, and prints the results.
