5  Arguments

1:    $\mathbf{ilog}$ – Nag_BooleanInput

On entry: the value of ilog determines whether the logarithmic value is returned in PDF.

$\mathbf{ilog}=\mathrm{Nag\_FALSE}$

$f\left(x_i,{\mu }_i,{\sigma }_i\right)$, the probability density function is returned.

$\mathbf{ilog}=\mathrm{Nag\_TRUE}$

$\log \left(f\left(x_i,{\mu }_i,{\sigma }_i\right)\right)$, the logarithm of the probability density function is returned.

2:    $\mathbf{lx}$ – IntegerInput

On entry: the length of the array x.

Constraint: $\mathbf{lx}>0$.

3:    $\mathbf{x}\left[\mathbf{lx}\right]$ – const doubleInput

On entry: $x_i$, the values at which the PDF is to be evaluated with $x_i=\mathbf{x}\left[j\right]$, $j=\left(i-1\right)\mathrm{ mod }\mathbf{lx}$, for $i=1,2,\dots ,\max \left(\mathbf{lx},\mathbf{lxstd},\mathbf{lxmu}\right)$.

4:    $\mathbf{lxmu}$ – IntegerInput

On entry: the length of the array xmu.

Constraint: $\mathbf{lxmu}>0$.

5:    $\mathbf{xmu}\left[\mathbf{lxmu}\right]$ – const doubleInput

On entry: ${\mu }_i$, the means with ${\mu }_i=\mathbf{xmu}\left[j\right]$, $j=\left(i-1\right)\mathrm{ mod }\mathbf{lxmu}$.

6:    $\mathbf{lxstd}$ – IntegerInput

On entry: the length of the array xstd.

Constraint: $\mathbf{lxstd}>0$.

7:    $\mathbf{xstd}\left[\mathbf{lxstd}\right]$ – const doubleInput

On entry: ${\sigma }_i$, the standard deviations with ${\sigma }_i=\mathbf{xstd}\left[j\right]$, $j=\left(i-1\right)\mathrm{ mod }\mathbf{lxstd}$.

Constraint: $\mathbf{xstd}\left[\mathit{j}-1\right]\ge 0.0$, for $\mathit{j}=1,2,\dots ,\mathbf{lxstd}$.

8:    $\mathbf{pdf}\left[\mathit{dim}\right]$ – doubleOutput

Note: the dimension, dim, of the array pdf must be at least $\max \left(\mathbf{lx},\mathbf{lxstd},\mathbf{lxmu}\right)$.

On exit: $f\left(x_i,{\mu }_i,{\sigma }_i\right)$ or $\log \left(f\left(x_i,{\mu }_i,{\sigma }_i\right)\right)$.

9:    $\mathbf{ivalid}\left[\mathit{dim}\right]$ – IntegerOutput

Note: the dimension, dim, of the array ivalid must be at least $\max \left(\mathbf{lx},\mathbf{lxstd},\mathbf{lxmu}\right)$.

On exit: $\mathbf{ivalid}\left[i-1\right]$ indicates any errors with the input arguments, with

$\mathbf{ivalid}\left[i-1\right]=0$

No error.

$\mathbf{ivalid}\left[i-1\right]=1$

${\sigma }_i<0$.

10:  $\mathbf{fail}$ – NagError *Input/Output

The NAG error argument (see Section 2.7 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation).
