zuspecial: Special Functions from 'SciPy' for Real and Complex Arguments

Source: R/zuspecial-package.R
zuspecial-package.Rd

Evaluates the special functions of mathematical physics and statistics, including gamma, beta, error, Bessel, Airy, hypergeometric, elliptic and zeta functions, for real and complex arguments, using the same kernels as the 'SciPy' library's 'scipy.special' module (https://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/special.html). Functions keep 'SciPy' names and argument order so that code translates directly between 'Python' and 'R', and results agree with 'SciPy' to within its own test tolerances. 'SciPy' is described in Virtanen et al. (2020) doi:10.1038/s41592-019-0686-2 . A registered C interface lets other packages call the functions from compiled code.
