Clay,
I was working on something like that a few years ago. Some SAS code for a
probability calculator that I wanted to convert to C. Although I invested a
lot of time in the project, I abandoned it because of the difficulty with
finding algorithms for the probability functions. At that time, C was new
and there was a paucity of programs. I did write C code based on some of
the old Applied Statistics (Statlib) algorithms, but I would think these are
probably outdated. So, I empathize with your plight...good luck.
Not sure if you can use it or not, but ENTISOFT has a developers toolbox for
Visual Basic...maybe you could contact them and see whether they have
something useful or would help you out with the algorithms. I haven't used
their product, but they have an extensive library of math routines. The
cost is pretty high, though. $399 for the professional version, if I
remember correctly. I think it might be like the old IMSL library...you
can't run the code without having ENTISOFT. Bummer.
