## Usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```javascript
|
||
|
|
var gammaln = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/gammaln' );
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### gammaln( x )
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Evaluates the [natural logarithm][@stdlib/math/base/special/ln] of the [gamma function][@stdlib/math/base/special/gamma].
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```javascript
|
||
|
|
var v = gammaln( 2.0 );
|
||
|
|
// returns 0.0
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
v = gammaln( 1.0 );
|
||
|
|
// returns 0.0
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
v = gammaln( 4.0 );
|
||
|
|
// returns ~1.792
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
v = gammaln( -0.5 );
|
||
|
|
// returns ~1.266
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
v = gammaln( 0.5 );
|
||
|
|
// returns ~0.572
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
v = gammaln( 0.0 );
|
||
|
|
// returns Infinity
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
v = gammaln( NaN );
|
||
|
|
// returns NaN
