Thomas Neidhart commented on MATH-888:
--------------------------------------
Hi Zev,
thanks for the feedback.
Could you attach a log of the mentioned test failure?
Thanks,
Thomas
> GammaDistribution returns infinite density when cdf = 1

> Key: MATH-888
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-888
> Project: Commons Math
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 3.0
> Environment: Windows 7
> Reporter: Zev Hochberg
>
> When GammaDistribution.cumulativeProbability = 1, then
> GammaDistribution.density may return Infinite - but it should return 0.
> Here is sample java code which demonstrates this issue, with results. Note
> that when pass the point at which cumulativeProbability = 1, the density
> stays > 0, though very small (pdf should be 0 when cdf = 1) - but as
> continue, then cdf stays 1, but pdf becomes infinite. This is seen most
> clearly in the second set of data below.
