Version 0.5-9 (2024-08-23, svn r333)
NEW FEATURES
-
dbinom_raw()
gets a new more accurateversion = "R4.4"
, using the newpow1p()
function, from R-devel, i.e., R 4.4.0 and newer. -
stirlerr_simpl()
gets argumentversion
, a string specifying the exact function to be used, currently with options("R3", "lgamma1p", "MM2", "n0")
. The first being the direct formula hardwired in R up to versions 4.3.z,"lgamma1p"
is to uselgamma1p(n)
instead oflgamma(n+1)
, whereas"MM2"
is a version usinglgamma(n)
and slightly more accurate for, approximately.
stirlerr()
correspondingly gets argumentdirect.ver
to be passed tostirlerr_simpl(., version=*)
in the “direct” formula case, whenn < cutoffs[1]
. -
stirlerr()
gets argumentorder
allowing currently up to order 20 terms (constantsS0
..S19
) in Stirling's series (and not usingcutoffs
or direct formula). New
stirlerrC()
interfacing to C code which should “parallelize” R's own C levelstirlerr()
.More documentation and tests; experiments added in ‘../Misc/stirlerr-trms.R’; nice explorations to ‘../tests/stirlerr-tst.R’

-
dgamma.R(x, ..)
now does vectorize inx
, as documented. minor adjustment of
pntR()
's defaultuse.pnorm
.-
‘src/bd0.c’ needed one more
PROTECT()
.
Misc
new ‘tests/dt-ex.R’ exploring
dt()
accuracy issues, mostly historical, but newly fordf=
.
Version 0.5-8 (2023-11-30, svn r278)
BUG FIXES
-
ebd0()
and C levelebd0C()
now work with long vectors and hence returndata.frame(yh = *, yl = *)

phyperR()
.
Misc
Documentation (and internal comment) updates for
qbinomR()
andqnbinomR()
, notably fixing "empty" argument doc.Deprecated
phyperBinMolenaar()
; it has been synonym tophyperBinMolenaar.1()
.Fix LaTeX warnings/errors by removing amazingly many
\cr
in ‘man/*.Rd’ files.
Version 0.5-5 (2023-06-23, svn r264)
BUG FIXES
-
qbinomR(p, *)
,qnbinomR(p, *)
, andqpoisR(p, *)
: FixR_Q_P01_boundaries(p, ..)
for trivial boundaries, e.g.,for
log.p=FALSE

BUG FIXES
-
qnormUappr()
&qnormUappr6()
were wrongly negative for lp in(corresponding to
).
Misc
Tweaks to the ‘qnorm-asymp’ vignette, related to the JSS submission.
-
‘tests/pqnorm_extreme.R’ plots more about the
pnormAsymp()
relative errors. Apple clang 14.0.3 needs looser tolerance for
logcf{R}()
anddbinom_raw()
comparisons.Minimally document the internal
.D_*()
and.DT_*()
utilities, as we provide them to experts and e.g., package DPQmpfr.
Version 0.5-3 (2022-12-01, svn r240)
NEW FEATURES
New R functions
qntR()
andqtU()
,Vectorize()
d versions ofqntR1()
andqtU1()
, respectively.New
qtR() <- Vectorize(qntR1, *)
; pure R implementation of R's Mathlib C-levelqt()
, but additionally allowing tweaks, used for fixing R's bug PR#18630. Added (optional) log-scale Newton steps vialogNewton = log.p
, needing more tests.New
qtNappr()
– from the remark in R's ‘nmath/qt.c’ about very largedf
approximation, now with all 4 large-df terms from Abramowitz & Stegun's (26.7.5).New
gammaVer()

auxiliaries) now get alog.p
argument. all(?)
qbeta.Appr*()
functions now accept alower.tail
argument (with defaultTRUE
).New R function

, the workhorse of all R'spsigamma()
functions.-
dpois_raw(x, lambda, *)
gets new cutoffsmall.x__lambda
to not usebd0()
orebd0()
whenx
is much smaller thanlambda
. Simple functions, mostly for didactical and comparison purposes,
dpois_simpl()
,dpois_simpl0()
andstirlerr_simpl()
, all of which use the “simple” direct formula which leads to numerical cancellation typically.New R function
bpser()
interfacing to the C function of the same in R's Mathlibpbeta()
orbratio()
in file ‘nmath/toms708.c’.
BUG FIXES
Updated URL of Abramowitz & Stegun.
Fixed
\
escape in one ‘man/*.Rd’
Misc
Our ‘tests/*.R’ no longer rely on the Matrix ‘test-tools.R’ collection but rather use our own.
In ‘tests/chisq-nonc-ex.R’ (and ‘DESCRIPTION’), we've replaced akima by interp as the latter has a FOSS licence.
Version 0.5-1 (2021-12-10, svn r197)
NEW FEATURES
-
bd0(x, np, delta, ..)
now usesif (|x-np| <= delta * (x+np))
(less-equal instead of strictly less), and hence settingdelta = 0
is now allowed, using the series expansion only forx == np
, useful e.g., for the case of highly accurate mpfr-numbers.Similarly, in
log1pmx(x, .., eps2, ..)
,eps2 = 0
is now allowed.
BUG FIXES
consistency between
ebd0()
andebd0C()
: multiplication* e
coming last ("bug" did not show ..).-
okLongDouble()
should no longer fail on M1 mac. -
ebd0C()
now checkingbefore returning; was horrendously wrong on Windows compiled with
-mnative
as long as it included (the default)-mfma
(FMA:= Fused-Multiply-Add). fix
rchk
issue: "need"PROTECT(.)
while calling allocatinglgamma1p()
.
Version 0.5-0 (2021-09-10, svn r183)
NEW FEATURES
new
ebd0C()
interface to C version; helps to fix lapsus in pure R versionebd0()
:ebd0(x, M)
for largeM
now checks for overflow inM/x
, and notably the casef * 2^-(e+10) =: fg == Inf
.In
bd0()
work around underflow of(x-np)/(x+np)
.new R functions
frexp()
andldexp()
for getting and setting base-2 representations of numbers, and new R functionmodf()
to split number into integer and fractional part, all interfacing the C99 (math lib) standard functions of the same name.-
logcfR.(x)
has been “vectorized” inx
even though it's iterative with different number of iterations for eachx[i]
, and is hence considerably faster whenx
is an"mpfr"
vector.TODO: Consider renaming the two logcfR versions; at least neither is deprecated!
BUG FIXES
fixed embarrassing typo (two
i
's) bug inlogcfR()
-
stirlerr(n)
now also works whenis.integer(n)
andn
is large enough forn * n
to overflow (toNA
). fix typo/thinko in
dnbinomR()
ditto in
logcfR(*, trace=TRUE)
iteration report.-
dpois_raw(x, *)
now works up to maximalx
, now preventing overflow in previous2*pi*x
computation. -
dnbinomR()
anddnbinom.mu()
fix forx > size
whenlog=TRUE
, notably forx >> size
.
Version 0.4-4 (2021-05-22, svn r175)
NEW FEATURES
new
bd0_*()
versions ofbd0()
, based mainly onlog1pmx()
.
REFACTORING
To be more modular, our ‘test-tools.R’ no longer
source()
those of Matrix.
BUG FIXES
-
‘src/bd0.c’ gave warning with some compiler settings with
-Wself-assign
. -
‘test-tools.R’
readRDS_()
thinko fixed.
Version 0.4-3 (2021-05-05, svn r166)
NEW FEATURES
Provide R functions
log1mexpC()
,log1pexpC()
,log1pmxC()
, andlgamma1pC()
, all interfacing to R's C API (‘Rmath.h’), aka ‘Rmathlib’.New
pnormAsymp()
for asymptotic (typically upper tail, log scale) approximation ofpnorm()
. With Rmpfr, we can see how accurate these are in detail.New
dnbinomR()
finding better code for R itself,dnbinom.mu()
anddbinom_raw()
; also new utility functionsbd0()
andstirlerr()
, both vectorized, and also working with "mpfr"-numbers, such thatdpois_raw()
now does so, too.Additionally, an “extended” version of
bd0()
calledebd0()
in pure R, where a C version was proposed by Morten Welinder in R's bugzilla, PR#15628.Experimentally, also provide
p1l1()
and its Taylor series approximationsp1l1ser()
which could be employed forbd0()
/ebd0()
instead of the current algorithms.Several C level utilities to be .Call()ed from R, from R's mathlib,
ldexp()
andfrexp()
even from C math.Pure R implementations (somewhat experimental) of corresponding R Mathlib C functions:
qbinomR()
,qnbinomR()
, andqpoisR()
each with several tuning parameters for the underlying algorithm, notably the root-finding parts.newly,
logcf()
now based on C code, perfectly vectorizes; the pure R version, now calledlogcfR(x, *)
currently still runs the iterations simultaneously for all 'x[i]' and hence convergence and rescaling happen by “group decision”, efficiently but undesirable for strict comparisons.logcfR(x, *)
andlog1pmx(x, *)
now also work for "mpfr"-numbersx
, andlog1pmx()
gets optionaleps2 = 1e-2
andminL1 = -0.791
arguments, the defaults of which may change, as I think at least the latter to not be perfect.Now
lb_chiAsymp(nu, order)
works up to order 8.Provide the first parts of a new vignette (‘../vignettes/log1pmx-etc.Rnw’) on
log1pmx()
,bd0()
, andstirlerr()
, which should contain part of Loader(2000)'s report and new findings of improvedbd0()
andstirlerr()
computations.

NEW FEATURES
-
pnbetaAS310()
gained auseAS226
option. New
okLongDouble()
function, notably for detecting that with avalgrind
ed version of R,long double
C arithmetic seems to silently switch to (simple)double
precision.
BUG FIXES
long double printing from C now should happen correctly on all platforms including 32- and 64-bit Windows.
Version 0.3-4 (2019-10-16, svn r125)
NEW FEATURES
more efficient (internally vectorized)
dntJKBf()
. Consequently,dntJKBf1()
is deprecated now.-
pntR()

) get new optionuse.pnorm
(the default of which had been hard coded previously).
BUG FIXES
fix thinko in
any_mpfr()
andall_mpfr()
.-
pnchisqRC()
's C code gave severe valgrind warnings; fixed printing oflong double
etc; also added special MinGW deal in Windows. -
ppoisD()
behaves differently in a valgrinded version; for now, reproducible only when using valgrind on non-valgrinded installed package.
Version 0.3-3 (2019-09-24, svn r110)
NEW FEATURES
Renamed (and generalized / merged) many functions to have less "." in names.
New
