-
Corrected moments for small degrees of freedom #7177
(reported by Thomas Mang).
-
Added Airy functions
and Jacobi Elliptic functions.
-
Corrected failure to detect bad parameters in many distributions #6934 (reported
by Florian Schoppmann) by adding a function check_out_of_range to test
many possible bad parameters. This test revealed several distributions
where the checks for bad parameters were ineffective, and these have
been rectified.
-
Fixed issue in Hankel functions that causes incorrect values to be returned
for x < 0 and ν odd, see #7135.
-
Fixed issues #6517,
#6362,
#7053,
#2693,
#6937,
#7099.
-
Permitted infinite degrees of freedom #7259
implemented using the normal distribution (requested by Thomas Mang).
-
Much enhanced accuracy for large degrees of freedom ν and/or large non-centrality
δ
by switching to use the Students t distribution (or Normal distribution
for infinite degrees of freedom) centered at delta, when δ / (4 * ν) <
epsilon for the floating-point type in use. #7259.
It was found that the incomplete beta was suffering from serious cancellation
errors when degrees of freedom was very large. (That has now been fixed
in our code, but any code based on Didonato and Morris's original papers
(probably every implementation out there actually) will have the same
issue).
See Boost-1.52 - some items were added but not listed in time for the release.
-
Promoted math constants to be 1st class citizens, including convenient
access to the most widely used built-in float, double, long double via
three namespaces.
-
Added the Owen's T function and Skew Normal distribution written by Benjamin
Sobotta: see Owens T
and skew_normal_distrib.
-
Added Hankel functions cyl_hankel_1,
cyl_hankel_2,
sph_hankel_1
and sph_hankel_2.
-
Corrected issue #6627
nonfinite_num_put formatting of 0.0 is incorrect based on a patch
submitted by K R Walker.
-
Changed constant initialization mechanism so that it is thread safe even
for user-defined types, also so that user defined types get the full
precision of the constant, even when
long
double does not. So for example
128-bit rational approximations will work with UDT's and do the right
thing, even though long double may be only 64 or 80 bits.
-
Fixed issue in
bessel_jy
which causes Y8.5(4π) to yield a NaN.
-
Deprecated wrongly named
twothirds
math constant in favour of two_thirds
(with underscore separator). (issue #6199).
-
Refactored test data and some special function code to improve support
for arbitary precision and/or expression-template-enabled types.
-
Added new faster zeta function evaluation method.
Fixed issues:
-
Corrected CDF complement for Laplace distribution (issue #6151).
-
Corrected branch cuts on the complex inverse trig functions, to handle
signed zeros (issue #6171).
-
Fixed bug in
bessel_yn
which caused incorrect overflow errors to be raised for negative n
(issue #6367).
-
Also fixed minor/cosmetic/configuration issues #6120,
#6191,
#5982,
#6130,
#6234,
#6307,
#6192.
-
Added new series evaluation methods to the cyclic Bessel I, J, K and
Y functions. Also taken great care to avoid spurious over and underflow
of these functions. Fixes issue #5560
-
Added an example of using Inverse Chi-Squared distribution for Bayesian
statistics, provided by Thomas Mang.
-
Added tests to use improved version of lexical_cast which handles C99
nonfinites without using globale facets.
-
Corrected wrong out-of-bound uniform distribution CDF complement values
#5733.
-
Enabled long double support on OpenBSD (issue #6014).
-
Changed nextafter and related functions to behave in the same way as
other implementations - so that nextafter(+INF, 0) is a finite value
(issue #5832).
-
Changed tuple include configuration to fix issue when using in conjunction
with Boost.Tr1 (issue #5934).
-
Changed class eps_tolerance to behave correctly when both ends of the
range are zero (issue #6001).

Fixed missing include guards on prime.hpp (issue #5927).

Removed unused/undocumented constants from constants.hpp (issue #5982).

Fixed missing std:: prefix in nonfinite_num_facets.hpp (issue #5914).

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.
-
