Special functions (scipy.special)¶
Nearly all of the functions below are universal functions and follow broadcasting and automatic array-looping rules. Exceptions are noted.
Error handling¶
Errors are handled by returning nans, or other appropriate values. Some of the special function routines will emit warnings when an error occurs. By default this is disabled. To enable such messages use errprint(1), and to disable such messages use errprint(0).
Example:
>>> print scipy.special.bdtr(-1,10,0.3)
>>> scipy.special.errprint(1)
>>> print scipy.special.bdtr(-1,10,0.3)
| errprint([inflag]) | Sets or returns the error printing flag for special functions. |
