Re: Gaussian hypergeometric function 2F1(a,b;c;z)

Questions:

 

1) JoyceXu and DSP_Arthur both seem to have confirmed this bug. What I find confusing is that both their forum ranks are orange, not blue - do they belong to NI? My understanding was that NI professional ranks are blue colored...

 

2) I am still wondering how the suggested workaround could be extended to work for all the data range. Having a mathematical function that is correct only for every second number is not really useful except one is simulting throwing dice - in this case however I would choose a slightly simpler and faster approach :smileywink:

Re: Gaussian hypergeometric function 2F1(a,b;c;z)

OK,

 

I can add that this function still yields wrong results, even in CVI2012 beta - the good news is that the function will be obsolete because there will be  another function called GaussHyperGeometric that seems to produce correct results...

Re: Gaussian hypergeometric function 2F1(a,b;c;z)

Hi Wolfgang,

 

This is correct. We ended up changing the implementation of the original function, so we created a new function in order to maintain compatibility with existing user code. The GuassHyperGeometric is a result of the discussion here.

 

For the record, this can be tracked under bug ID 248829.
