Apparently, #399 accidentally broke
beta_inc_inv
for some values, as reported in JuliaStats/StatsFuns.jl#145.The main issue seems to be that the initial
x
became much smaller in some cases (see #399 (comment)). Increasing the lower bound significantly (the proposed1e-200
in #396 is not sufficient), e.g., toeps(Float64)
, fixes JuliaStats/StatsFuns.jl#145.However, for now I just reverted that change completely since it seems it is not needed for the bug fix in #399.
