toms179_test

toms179_test, a FORTRAN77 code which calls toms179(), which implements ACM toms algorithm 179, for evaluating the modified Beta function.

The original algorithm was published in the Algol language. Shortly therafter, a distinct FORTRAN77 algorithm was published as a "remark" to the original algorithm. A few modifications to the FORTRAN77 program were proposed in a subsequent "remark".

The text of many ACM toms algorithms is available online through ACM: http://www.acm.org/pubs/calgo or NETLIB: http://www.netlib.org/toms/index.html.

Usage:

call mdbeta ( x, p, q, prob, ier )

• x is the point of evaluation;
• p and q are parameters;
• prob, (output), is the computed probability;
• ier, (output), is an error flag.
