Safouhi, Hassan, Gaudreau, Philippe J. , Slevinsky, Richard M.
Abstract. We use the recently developed algorithm for the G(1) n transformation to approximate tail probabilities of the normal distribution, the gamma distribution, the student’s t-distribution, the inverse Gaussian distribution, and Fisher’s F distribution. Using this algorithm, which can be...

Fall 2011
This thesis is concerned with the development of new formulae for higher order derivatives, and the algorithmic, numerical, and analytical development of the G transformation, a method for computing infinite-range integrals. We introduce the Slevinsky-Safouhi formulae I and II with applications,...
