Bell: Bell Coefficients Calculation

Description

This function calculates Bell coefficients as described on p.134--139 of Comtet (1974) for calculating high order derivative of composite function $f(g(x))$ wrt $x$, say.

Usage

Bell(n)

Arguments

n

Derivative order n > 1.

Details

Bell calls the functions in package partititions, see http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/partitions/partitions.pdf.
