[jira] [Resolved] (MATH-909) FDistribution NoBracketingException in BrentSolver

["Sébastien Brisard (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-909?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Sébastien Brisard resolved MATH-909.
------------------------------------

    Resolution: Cannot Reproduce

New implementation of {{Gamma.logGamma}} seems to solve this issue.
A test equivalent to the extreme test proposed by Patrick will be included in the unit tests of the incomplete beta function.

>             Project: Commons Math
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 3.0
>            Reporter: Patrick Meyer
>   Original Estimate: 24h
>  Remaining Estimate: 24h
>
> I get an exception when running the code below. the exception is 
> {code}
> function values at endpoints do not have different signs, endpoints: [0, 1.002], values: [-0.025, -∞]
> {code}
> The problematic code:
> {code}
> double df1 = 10675;
> double df2 = 501725;
> FDistribution fDist = new FDistribution(df1, df2);
> System.out.println(fDist.inverseCumulativeProbability(0.025));//NoBracketingException
> {code}
> However, R returns the value 0.9733505. The R code is:
> {code}
> qf(p=.025, df1=10675, df2=501725)
> {code}
> I don't know enough about the FDistribution class to know the solution to the exception, but I thought I would report it.
