# NAG CL Interfaceg01ptc (pdf_​landau_​moment1)

## 1Purpose

g01ptc returns the value of the first moment ${\Phi }_{1}\left(x\right)$ of the Landau density function.

## 2Specification

 #include
 double g01ptc (double x)
The function may be called by the names: g01ptc, nag_stat_pdf_landau_moment1 or nag_moment_1_landau.

## 3Description

g01ptc evaluates an approximation to the first moment ${\Phi }_{1}\left(x\right)$ of the Landau density function given by
 $Φ1x=1Φx ∫-∞xλϕλdλ,$
where $\varphi \left(\lambda \right)$ is described in g01mtc, using piecewise approximation by rational functions. Further details can be found in Kölbig and Schorr (1984).
To obtain the value of ${\Phi }_{2}\left(x\right)$, g01qtc can be used.

## 5Arguments

1: $\mathbf{x}$double Input
On entry: the argument $x$ of the function.

None.

## 7Accuracy

At least $7$ significant digits are usually correct, but occasionally only $6$. Such accuracy is normally considered to be adequate for applications in experimental physics.

## 8Parallelism and Performance

g01ptc is not threaded in any implementation.

None.

## 10Example

This example evaluates ${\Phi }_{1}\left(x\right)$ at $x=0.5$, and prints the results.
