-
Added Policy based framework that allows fine grained control over function
behaviour.
-
Breaking change: Changed default behaviour
for domain, pole and overflow errors to throw an exception (based on
review feedback), this behaviour can be customised using Policy's.
-
Breaking change: Changed exception thrown
when an internal evaluation error occurs to boost::math::evaluation_error.
-
Breaking change: Changed discrete quantiles
to return an integer result: this is anything up to 20 times faster than
finding the true root, this behaviour can be customised using Policy's.
-
Polynomial/rational function evaluation is now customisable and hopefully
faster than before.
-
Added performance test program.
-
Moved Xiaogang Zhang's Bessel Functions code into the library, and brought
them into line with the rest of the code.
-
Added C# "Distribution Explorer" demo application.
-
Implemented the main probability distribution and density functions.
-
Implemented digamma.
-
Added more factorial functions.
-
Implemented the Hermite, Legendre and Laguerre polynomials plus the spherical
harmonic functions from TR1.
-
Moved Xiaogang Zhang's elliptic integral code into the library, and brought
them into line with the rest of the code.
-
Moved Hubert Holin's existing Boost.Math special functions into this
library and brought them into line with the rest of the code.
-
Implement preview release of the statistical distributions.
-
Added statistical distributions tutorial.
-
Implemented root finding algorithms.
-
Implemented the inverses of the incomplete gamma and beta functions.
-
Rewrite erf/erfc as rational approximations (valid to 128-bit precision).
-
Integrated the statistical results generated from the test data with
Boost.Test: uses a database of expected results, indexed by test, floating
point type, platform, and compiler.
-
Improved lgamma near 1 and 2 (rational approximations).
-
Improved erf/erfc inverses (rational approximations).
-
Implemented Rational function generation (the Remez method).
-
Implement gamma/beta/erf functions along with their incomplete counterparts.
-
Generate high quality test data, against which future improvements can
be judged.
-
Provide tools for the evaluation of infinite series, continued fractions,
and rational functions.
-
Provide tools for testing against tabulated test data, and collecting
statistics on error rates.
-
Provide sufficient docs for people to be able to find their way around
the library.
