uhh... so maybe rename component "Mathematical Special Functions" into "Statistical Special Functions" ?
I think it was natural for me to search for my favorites inside a component named like that...
Fair comment, however there's a fairly well defined set of special functions listed in A&S, most of which are hoisted into TR1 that (IMO) should be implemented before domain specific functions like these. There's also the problem that since I'm not familiar with the domain, I have no way of judging what constitutes a "good" implementation: what potential users would be looking for in other words. Not that this stops you from providing a submission of those of course :-) One of things I'd like to try and do is encourage others to get involved in writing more special functions. Now that the toolkit has support for rational-approximations (Remez) I'm hoping the bar might be a little lower... or maybe not, as Remez is so notoriously flakey to use :-( John.
