var gammaln = require( 'math-gammaln' );
 
var x = linspace( -10, 10, 100 );
var v;
var i;
 
for ( i = 0; i < x.length; i++ ) {
    v = gammaln( x[ i ] );
    console.log( 'x: %d, f(x): %d', x[ i ], v );
}

Tests

Unit

This repository uses tape for unit tests. To run the tests, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:
