sph_harm(m, n, theta, phi)
Compute spherical harmonics.
The spherical harmonics are defined as
.. math::
Y^m_n(\theta,\phi) = \sqrt{\frac{2n+1}{4\pi} \frac{(n-m)!}{(n+m)!}}
e^{i m \theta} P^m_n(\cos(\phi))
where :math:`P_n^m` are the associated Legendre functions; see `lpmv`.
Parameters
----------
m : array_like
Order of the harmonic (int); must have ``|m| <= n``.
n : array_like
Degree of the harmonic (int); must have ``n >= 0``. This is
often denoted by ``l`` (lower case L) in descriptions of
spherical harmonics.
theta : array_like
Azimuthal (longitudinal) coordinate; must be in ``[0, 2*pi]``.
phi : array_like
Polar (colatitudinal) coordinate; must be in ``[0, pi]``.
Returns
-------
y_mn : complex float
The harmonic :math:`Y^m_n` sampled at ``theta`` and ``phi``.
Notes
-----
There are different conventions for the meanings of the input
arguments ``theta`` and ``phi``. In SciPy ``theta`` is the
azimuthal angle and ``phi`` is the polar angle. It is common to
see the opposite convention, that is, ``theta`` as the polar angle
and ``phi`` as the azimuthal angle.
Note that SciPy's spherical harmonics include the Condon-Shortley
phase [2]_ because it is part of `lpmv`.
With SciPy's conventions, the first several spherical harmonics
are
.. math::
Y_0^0(\theta, \phi) &= \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\frac{1}{\pi}} \\
Y_1^{-1}(\theta, \phi) &= \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\frac{3}{2\pi}}
e^{-i\theta} \sin(\phi) \\
Y_1^0(\theta, \phi) &= \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\frac{3}{\pi}}
\cos(\phi) \\
Y_1^1(\theta, \phi) &= -\frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\frac{3}{2\pi}}
e^{i\theta} \sin(\phi).

voigt_profile(x, sigma, gamma, out=None)
Voigt profile.
The Voigt profile is a convolution of a 1-D Normal distribution with
standard deviation ``sigma`` and a 1-D Cauchy distribution with half-width at
half-maximum ``gamma``.
If ``sigma = 0``, PDF of Cauchy distribution is returned.
Conversely, if ``gamma = 0``, PDF of Normal distribution is returned.
If ``sigma = gamma = 0``, the return value is ``Inf`` for ``x = 0``, and ``0`` for all other ``x``.
Parameters

agm(a, b)
Compute the arithmetic-geometric mean of `a` and `b`.
Start with a_0 = a and b_0 = b and iteratively compute::
a_{n+1} = (a_n + b_n)/2
b_{n+1} = sqrt(a_n*b_n)
a_n and b_n converge to the same limit as n increases; their common
limit is agm(a, b).
Parameters
----------
a, b : array_like
Real values only. If the values are both negative, the result
is negative. If one value is negative and the other is positive,
`nan` is returned.
Returns

Examples
--------
>>> from scipy.special import agm

Parameters
----------
z : array_like
Real or complex argument.
Returns
-------
Ai, Aip, Bi, Bip : ndarrays
Airy functions Ai and Bi, and their derivatives Aip and Bip.
Notes
-----
The Airy functions Ai and Bi are two independent solutions of
.. math:: y''(x) = x y(x).
For real `z` in [-10, 10], the computation is carried out by calling
the Cephes [1]_ `airy` routine, which uses power series summation
for small `z` and rational minimax approximations for large `z`.
Outside this range, the AMOS [2]_ `zairy` and `zbiry` routines are
employed. They are computed using power series for :math:`|z| < 1` and
the following relations to modified Bessel functions for larger `z`
(where :math:`t \equiv 2 z^{3/2}/3`):
.. math::
Ai(z) = \frac{1}{\pi \sqrt{3}} K_{1/3}(t)
Ai'(z) = -\frac{z}{\pi \sqrt{3}} K_{2/3}(t)
Bi(z) = \sqrt{\frac{z}{3}} \left(I_{-1/3}(t) + I_{1/3}(t) \right)
Bi'(z) = \frac{z}{\sqrt{3}} \left(I_{-2/3}(t) + I_{2/3}(t)\right)

Examples

We can compute exponentially scaled Airy functions and their derivatives:
>>> from scipy.special import airye
>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
>>> z = np.linspace(0, 50, 500)
>>> eAi, eAip, eBi, eBip = airye(z)

... ax[ind].plot(z, data[0], "-r", z, data[1], "-b")
... ax[ind].legend(data[2])
... ax[ind].grid(True)
>>> plt.show()
We can compute these using usual non-scaled Airy functions by:
>>> from scipy.special import airy
>>> Ai, Aip, Bi, Bip = airy(z)
>>> np.allclose(eAi, Ai * np.exp(2.0 / 3.0 * z * np.sqrt(z)))
True
>>> np.allclose(eAip, Aip * np.exp(2.0 / 3.0 * z * np.sqrt(z)))
True
>>> np.allclose(eBi, Bi * np.exp(-abs(np.real(2.0 / 3.0 * z * np.sqrt(z)))))
True
>>> np.allclose(eBip, Bip * np.exp(-abs(np.real(2.0 / 3.0 * z * np.sqrt(z)))))
True
Comparing non-scaled and exponentially scaled ones, the usual non-scaled
function quickly underflows for large values, whereas the exponentially
scaled function does not.

Examples
--------
Let :math:`B(a, b)` be the `beta` function.
>>> import scipy.special as sc
The coefficient in terms of `gamma` is equal to
:math:`1/B(a, b)`. Also, when :math:`x=1`
the integral is equal to :math:`B(a, b)`.
Therefore, :math:`I_{x=1}(a, b) = 1` for any :math:`a, b`.
>>> sc.betainc(0.2, 3.5, 1.0)
1.0
It satisfies
:math:`I_x(a, b) = x^a F(a, 1-b, a+1, x)/ (aB(a, b))`,

Relation to incomplete elliptic integral: If `u = ellipkinc(phi,m)`, then
`sn(u|m) = sin(phi)`, and `cn(u|m) = cos(phi)`. The `phi` is called

ellipkm1(p)
Complete elliptic integral of the first kind around `m` = 1
This function is defined as
.. math:: K(p) = \\int_0^{\\pi/2} [1 - m \\sin(t)^2]^{-1/2} dt
where `m = 1 - p`.
Parameters
----------
p : array_like
Defines the parameter of the elliptic integral as `m = 1 - p`.
Returns
-------
K : ndarray
Value of the elliptic integral.
Notes
-----
Wrapper for the Cephes [1]_ routine `ellpk`.
For `p <= 1`, computation uses the approximation,
.. math:: K(p) \\approx P(p) - \\log(p) Q(p),
where :math:`P` and :math:`Q` are tenth-order polynomials. The
argument `p` is used internally rather than `m` so that the logarithmic
singularity at `m = 1` will be shifted to the origin; this preserves
maximum accuracy. For `p > 1`, the identity
.. math:: K(p) = K(1/p)/\\sqrt(p)
is used.

For real `z` and :math:`v \in [-50, 50]`, the evaluation is carried out

For complex `z` and positive `v`, the AMOS [2]_ `zbesi` routine is

ncfdtr(dfn, dfd, nc, f)
Cumulative distribution function of the non-central F distribution.
The non-central F describes the distribution of,
.. math::
Z = \frac{X/d_n}{Y/d_d}
where :math:`X` and :math:`Y` are independently distributed, with
:math:`X` distributed non-central :math:`\chi^2` with noncentrality
parameter `nc` and :math:`d_n` degrees of freedom, and :math:`Y`
distributed :math:`\chi^2` with :math:`d_d` degrees of freedom.
Parameters
----------
dfn : array_like
Degrees of freedom of the numerator sum of squares. Range (0, inf).
dfd : array_like
Degrees of freedom of the denominator sum of squares. Range (0, inf).
nc : array_like
Noncentrality parameter. Should be in range (0, 1e4).
f : array_like
Quantiles, i.e. the upper limit of integration.
Returns
-------
cdf : float or ndarray
The calculated CDF. If all inputs are scalar, the return will be a
float. Otherwise it will be an array.
See Also
--------
ncfdtri : Quantile function; inverse of `ncfdtr` with respect to `f`.
ncfdtridfd : Inverse of `ncfdtr` with respect to `dfd`.
ncfdtridfn : Inverse of `ncfdtr` with respect to `dfn`.
ncfdtrinc : Inverse of `ncfdtr` with respect to `nc`.
Notes
-----
Wrapper for the CDFLIB [1]_ Fortran routine `cdffnc`.
The cumulative distribution function is computed using Formula 26.6.20 of
[2]_:
.. math::
F(d_n, d_d, n_c, f) = \sum_{j=0}^\infty e^{-n_c/2} \frac{(n_c/2)^j}{j!} I_{x}(\frac{d_n}{2} + j, \frac{d_d}{2}),
where :math:`I` is the regularized incomplete beta function, and
:math:`x = f d_n/(f d_n + d_d)`.
The computation time required for this routine is proportional to the
noncentrality parameter `nc`. Very large values of this parameter can
consume immense computer resources. This is why the search range is
bounded by 10,000.

Array for the computed values of ``psi``.
Returns
-------
digamma : ndarray
Computed values of ``psi``.
Notes
-----
For large values not close to the negative real axis, ``psi`` is
computed using the asymptotic series (5.11.2) from [1]_. For small
arguments not close to the negative real axis, the recurrence
relation (5.5.2) from [1]_ is used until the argument is large
enough to use the asymptotic series. For values close to the
negative real axis, the reflection formula (5.5.4) from [1]_ is
used first. Note that ``psi`` has a family of zeros on the
negative real axis which occur between the poles at nonpositive
integers. Around the zeros the reflection formula suffers from
cancellation and the implementation loses precision. The sole
positive zero and the first negative zero, however, are handled
separately by precomputing series expansions using [2]_, so the
function should maintain full accuracy around the origin.

y0(x)
Bessel function of the second kind of order 0.
Parameters
----------
x : array_like
Argument (float).
Returns
-------
Y : ndarray
Value of the Bessel function of the second kind of order 0 at `x`.
Notes
-----
The domain is divided into the intervals [0, 5] and (5, infinity). In the
first interval a rational approximation :math:`R(x)` is employed to
compute,
.. math::
Y_0(x) = R(x) + \frac{2 \log(x) J_0(x)}{\pi},
where :math:`J_0` is the Bessel function of the first kind of order 0.
In the second interval, the Hankel asymptotic expansion is employed with
two rational functions of degree 6/6 and 7/7.
This function is a wrapper for the Cephes [1]_ routine `y0`.

loggamma(z, out=None)
Principal branch of the logarithm of the gamma function.
Defined to be :math:`\log(\Gamma(x))` for :math:`x > 0` and
extended to the complex plane by analytic continuation. The
function has a single branch cut on the negative real axis.
.. versionadded:: 0.18.0
Parameters
----------
z : array-like
Values in the complex plain at which to compute ``loggamma``
out : ndarray, optional
Output array for computed values of ``loggamma``
Returns
-------
loggamma : ndarray
Values of ``loggamma`` at z.
Notes
-----
It is not generally true that :math:`\log\Gamma(z) =
\log(\Gamma(z))`, though the real parts of the functions do
agree. The benefit of not defining `loggamma` as
:math:`\log(\Gamma(z))` is that the latter function has a
complicated branch cut structure whereas `loggamma` is analytic
except for on the negative real axis.
The identities
.. math::
\exp(\log\Gamma(z)) &= \Gamma(z) \\
\log\Gamma(z + 1) &= \log(z) + \log\Gamma(z)
make `loggamma` useful for working in complex logspace.
On the real line `loggamma` is related to `gammaln` via
``exp(loggamma(x + 0j)) = gammasgn(x)*exp(gammaln(x))``, up to
rounding error.
The implementation here is based on [hare1997]_.
