Psi (digamma) functions

Description

Psi (digamma) functions as per the Gnu Scientific Library, reference manual section 7.27. These functions are declared in header file gsl_sf_psi.h

Usage

psi_int(n, give=FALSE, strict=TRUE)
psi(x, give=FALSE, strict=TRUE)
psi_1piy(y, give=FALSE, strict=TRUE)
psi_1_int(n, give=FALSE, strict=TRUE)
psi_1(x, give=FALSE, strict=TRUE)
psi_n(m, x, give=FALSE, strict=TRUE)

Arguments

m, n

input: integer values

x, y

input: real values

give

Boolean with TRUE meaning to return a list of three items: the value, an estimate of the error, and a status number

strict

Boolean, with default TRUE meaning to return NaN if status is an error
