NIST-compatible non-integer factorial

Submitted by Active Participant on ‎05-24-2017 09:53 AM 2 Comments (2 New)
Status: Already Implemented

From Taki1999: "This is already available using the Gamma Function. Gamma(n+1)=n! and it seems to work for the non-integral case used on the webpage you linked."

This NIST site defines a non-integer factorial:

http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/handbook/pmc/section3/pmc32.htm

 

The result of the computation is used in statistical process control.

 

I think that LabVIEW should have its VI's compatible with NIST, and "engineered for process control", seeing how they control processes.  The control shouldn't exclusively about operation, but should also have bounds, and quick/effective alerting for out-of-control condition.  (OOC).
