New Tables Of The Incomplete Gamma Function Ratio And Of Percentage Points Of The Chi Square And Beta Distributions

The following tables, together with brief discussions of methods of computation and uses, are included: (1) a nine decimal-place table of the incomplete Gamma-function ratio, I(u, p), for p= -0.95(0.05)4 and u at intervals of 0.1; and (2) a six-significant-figure table of the percentage points, corresponding to cumulative probabilities P= .0001, .0005, .001, .005, .01, . 025, .05, .1(.1) .9, .95, .975, .99, .995, .999,. 9995, and .9999, of the chi- square distribution with v = 0.1(0.1) 10 degrees of freedom. Both tables are accurate to within a unit in the last place.

In this book the authors have assembled the "best techniques from a great variety of sources, establishing a benchmark for the field of statistical computing." ---Mathematics of Computation ." The text is highly readable and well illustrated with examples. The reader who intends to take a hand in designing his own regression and multivariate packages will find a storehouse of information and a valuable resource in the field of statistical computing.
