NAME
Math::Gauss - Gaussian distribution function and its inverse, fast XS version
VERSION
0.01
STATUS
SYNOPSIS
use Math::Gauss::XS ':all';
$p = pdf( $z );
$p = pdf( $x, $m, $s );
$c = cdf( $z );
$c = cdf( $x, $m, $s );
$z = inv_cdf( $z );
DESCRIPTION
This module just rewrites the Math::Gauss module in XS. The precision and
exported function remain the same as in the original.
The benchmark results are
Benchmark: timing 30000000 iterations of pp/pdf, xs/pdf...
pp/pdf: 15 wallclock secs (14.99 usr + 0.00 sys = 14.99 CPU) @ 2001334.22/s (n=30000000)
xs/pdf: 2 wallclock secs ( 2.16 usr + 0.00 sys = 2.16 CPU) @ 13888888.89/s (n=30000000)
Benchmark: timing 30000000 iterations of pp/cdf, xs/cdf...
pp/cdf: 40 wallclock secs (38.93 usr + 0.00 sys = 38.93 CPU) @ 770613.92/s (n=30000000)
xs/cdf: 2 wallclock secs ( 2.22 usr + 0.00 sys = 2.22 CPU) @ 13513513.51/s (n=30000000)
Benchmark: timing 30000000 iterations of pp/inv_cdf, xs/inv_cdf...
