Full_Name: M Welinder Version: 1.4 OS: (src) Submission from: (NULL) (192.5.35.38) It seems to me that pweibull can be improved in the lower_tail=TRUE and log_p=FALSE case by using expm1.

Full_Name: Morten Welinder Version: snapshot OS: Submission from: (NULL) (65.213.85.218) This should fix the remaining two 1-p cancellation issues. double l_rt = log1p (-p) * (x + 1); if (log_p) return R_DT_Clog (l_rt); else return lower_tail ? -expm1 (l_rt) : exp (l_rt);

Full_Name: Morten Welinder Version: 2.1.0 OS: src only Submission from: (NULL) (216.223.241.212) Now that pcauchy has been fixed, it is becoming clear that qcauchy suffers from the same problems. qcauchy(pcauchy(1e100,0,1,FALSE,TRUE),0,1,FALSE,TRUE) should yield 1e100 back, but I get 1.633178e+16.

Hi there, this is just to let you know that the qbeta function, which was copied from R into Gnumeric, has been confirmed to be miscompiled by gcc 2.96 on Linux. (That's Red Hat's compiler.) This shows by qbeta(0.025,4,0.5) ending up taking the wrong branch of "if (alpha <= 0.5)". We compile things in a different context, so this may or may not affect you. The qbeta

I was seeing relative errors with random input of about 1e-8. This fits nicely w...

Full_Name: Anja von Heydebreck Version: 1.9.1 OS: Linux Submission from: (NULL) (155.250.128.25) I obtained a negative p-value from the fisher.test() function: > fisher.test(matrix(c(14576,3023,89,68),2), alternative="g")$p.value [1] -8.426593e-13 With R 1.8.1, I got a p-value of -6.239231e-12 for this example.

The real problem is that pbeta can take forever. That's bug #7153 and a fix is within reach. Morten

Hi all, A hopefully quick query. I was reading a posting over at gnomedesktop.org on the latest release of Gnumeric 1.4: http://gnomedesktop.org/node/2090 There is a mention there: Improved accuracy: While Gnumeric 1.2 was already the best available source for accuracy in statistical calculations, Gnumeric 1.4 is even better. We are cooperating with The R Project to

...ix this by reverting where needed to a normal approximation, but that leaves the problem that we have no proof of the validity or accuracy of the rest of the algorithm (if indeed it is accurate). ?pgamma says As from R 2.1.0 'pgamma()' uses a new algorithm (mainly by Morten Welinder) which should be uniformly as accurate as AS 239. Well, it 'should be' but it is not, and we should not be making statements like that. Those in the email quoted in pgamma.c exhibit hubris. There are also at least two examples of sloppy coding that lead to numeric overflow and comple...
