[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #29543] normcdf lacks precision on the tails of the distribution

[David Bateman]

Update of bug #29543 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Wont Fix

Follow-up Comment #3:

This should be discussed on address@hidden as part of a larger
inclusion of GSL in Octave to replace many other functions and for this reason
I'm flagging this as won't fix. There has been discussions a couple of times,
but as

http://n4.nabble.com/precision-loss-with-besselh-bessely-for-order-n-16-td1672999.html#a1673001

points out GSL is double precision only and this would require extra
manipulation to handle Octaves single precision type, which is perhaps
undesirable.

In any case perhaps this should be added to the GSL bindings on octave-forge
is this function isn't already included.

D.
