gammaln

Logarithm of gamma function

📝 Syntax

• R = gammaln(M)

📥 Input argument

• M - a real single or real double matrix.

📤 Output argument

• R - result of gammaln function.

📄 Description

The functiongammaln(A) computes the natural logarithm of the gamma function for a given inputA, expressed as gammaln(A) = log(gamma(A)).

It's important to note that A must be a nonnegative real number.

Using gammaln helps prevent potential underflow and overflow issues that might arise if directly computing log(gamma(A)).

💡 Example

R = gammaln([0:0.1:pi])
