CATLAN

CATLAN (LET)

Library Function

Compute the Catlan beta function.

The Catlan beta function is defined as:

For better numerical stability, Dataplot actually computes B(s) - 1.

Dataplot uses a Fortran translation of a C routine given in "Atlas For Computing Mathematical Functions" (see the Reference section below).

LET <y> = CATLAN(<x>)             <SUBSET/EXCEPT/FOR qualification>
where <x> is a number, variable, or parameter (> 1);
            <y> is a variable or a parameter (depending on what <x> is) where the computed Catlan beta - 1 values are stored;
and where the <SUBSET/EXCEPT/FOR qualification> is optional.

LET A = CATLAN(2)
LET A = CATLAN(X)
LET X2 = CATLAN(X) FOR X = 0.1 0.1 3.0
