| Jun 30, 2011 at 21:31 | comment | added | whuber♦ | @cardinal Thanks. My comment was phrased generally but responded specifically to Googling for information on "gsl_ran_gamma". The first half page of hits turned up only the vaguest sort of documentation (and the second half page turned up bunches of bug reports, albeit old ones). Perhaps you could provide a link to the pdf for the record? | |

| Jun 30, 2011 at 19:37 | comment | added | cardinal | @whuber: the documentation provides the form of the pdf explicitly. In this case, the form given is the same as the one used in, e.g., Wikipedia. | |
| Jun 30, 2011 at 19:19 | comment | added | whuber♦ | Ambiguous (or missing) documentation is a red flag, because it suggests the implementers are too inexperienced to be aware there are differing conventions and that theirs needs detailed documentation. Thus, in addition to figuring out what convention is used, you would be wise to conduct thorough tests of the implementation. | |
