[math] Validation of special functions

2012-10-18 Thread Sébastien Brisard
Hi, I have recently started to update the users guide on special functions, providing accuracy measurements of our implementations. To get these figures, I carried out extensive comparisons with reference values computed with Maxima, and 128 decimal digits. I also wrote a Java command-line app to a

Typing this on my phone. Sorry about format. The sampling part of the mixture model makes it a true distribution according to the abstract class and interface. It will also come in handy for simulating data, I think. I am already using it to simulate mri images. _ I support adding get dimensi

[Math] "getDimensions" in MultivariateRealDistribution interface

2012-10-18 Thread Gilles Sadowski
Hello. There is a "getDimensions" method in "AbstractMultivariateRealDistribution" that returns the number of variables. It would be useful to have this method declared in the interface too. [In particular, this would allow the mixture model generic class (cf. MATH-816) to be defined in terms of t

I just realized that when we defined RealMultivariateDistribution we neglected to actually model the distribution function. If we forced ourselves to support this and provide an integration-based default in the abstract base class, that might also force us to implement some useful multivariate in
