// returns +Infinity

val = betaln( 0.001, 0.001 );
// returns ~7.601

val = betaln( -1, 2 );
// return NaN

val = betaln( 2, 1 );
// returns ~-1.099

val = betaln( 4, 1 );
// returns ~-1.386

Examples

var betaln = require( 'math-betaln' );

for ( var x = 0; x < 5; x++ ) {
	for ( var y = 5; y > 0; y-- ) {
		console.log( 'x: %d, \t y: %d, \t f(x,y): %d', x, y, betaln( x, y ) );
	}
}
