# NAG Library Routine DocumentG01EUF

Note:  before using this routine, please read the Users' Note for your implementation to check the interpretation of bold italicised terms and other implementation-dependent details.

## 1  Purpose

G01EUF returns the value of the Vavilov distribution function ${\Phi }_{V}\left(\lambda \text{;}\kappa ,{\beta }^{2}\right)$, via the routine name.
It is intended to be used after a call to G01ZUF.

## 2  Specification

 FUNCTION G01EUF ( X, RCOMM, IFAIL)
 REAL (KIND=nag_wp) G01EUF
 INTEGER IFAIL REAL (KIND=nag_wp) X, RCOMM(322)

## 3  Description

G01EUF evaluates an approximation to the Vavilov distribution function ${\Phi }_{V}\left(\lambda \text{;}\kappa ,{\beta }^{2}\right)$ given by
 $ΦVλ;κ,β2=∫-∞λϕVλ;κ,β2dλ,$
where $\varphi \left(\lambda \right)$ is described in G01MUF. The method used is based on Fourier expansions. Further details can be found in Schorr (1974).

## 5  Parameters

1:     X – REAL (KIND=nag_wp)Input
On entry: the argument $\lambda$ of the function.
2:     RCOMM($322$) – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayCommunication Array
On entry: this must be the same parameter RCOMM as returned by a previous call to G01ZUF.
3:     IFAIL – INTEGERInput/Output
On entry: IFAIL must be set to $0$, $-1\text{​ or ​}1$. If you are unfamiliar with this parameter you should refer to Section 3.3 in the Essential Introduction for details.
For environments where it might be inappropriate to halt program execution when an error is detected, the value $-1\text{​ or ​}1$ is recommended. If the output of error messages is undesirable, then the value $1$ is recommended. Otherwise, if you are not familiar with this parameter, the recommended value is $0$. When the value $-\mathbf{1}\text{​ or ​}\mathbf{1}$ is used it is essential to test the value of IFAIL on exit.
On exit: ${\mathbf{IFAIL}}={\mathbf{0}}$ unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see Section 6).

## 6  Error Indicators and Warnings

${\mathbf{IFAIL}}=1$
Either the initialization routine has not been called prior to the first call of this routine or a communication array has become corrupted.

## 7  Accuracy

At least five significant digits are usually correct.

G01EUF can be called repeatedly with different values of $\lambda$ provided that the values of $\kappa$ and ${\beta }^{2}$ remain unchanged between calls. Otherwise, G01ZUF must be called again. This is illustrated in Section 9.

## 9  Example

This example evaluates ${\Phi }_{V}\left(\lambda \text{;}\kappa ,{\beta }^{2}\right)$ at $\lambda =0.1$, $\kappa =2.5$ and ${\beta }^{2}=0.7$, and prints the results.
