OwensQOwen: Owen's Q-function via repeated integration by parts

Description

This is an implementation of the algorithm given in Owen's original paper (Biometrica 1965) via repeated integration by parts.

Usage

OwensQOwen(nu, t, delta, a=0, b)

Arguments

nu

degree of Owen's Q

t

parameter t

delta

parameter delta

a

lower integration limit. Only a=0 implemented, other values give an error.

b

upper integration limit

Value

numeric value of Owen's Q function.
