Old Code

double fun (double x)
dinest = nag_1d_quad_gauss(quadrule, fun, a, b, n, &fail);

New Code

void f (const double x[], Integer nx, double fv[], Integer *iflag,

nag_quad_1d_gauss_vec(quad_type, a, b, n, f, &dinest, &comm,
                      &fail);
Replace quadrule with quad_type as follows:
comm is a pointer to a structure of type Nag_Comm (see Section 3.1.1 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface) available to allow you to pass information to the user-supplied function f.
iflag is an Integer which you may use to force an immediate exit from d01uac in case of an error in the user-supplied function f.
f may be used to call the original fun as follows, although it may be more efficient to recode the integrand.
void f(const double x[], const Integer nx, double fv[], Integer *iflag,
       Nag_Comm *comm)
{
   Integer i;
   for(i=0; i < nx; i++)

E01 – Interpolation

e01sac

Withdrawn at Mark 23.

A new user defined function monit has been added to allow you to monitor the optimization process. If no monitoring is required, monit may be specified as NULLFN.

e04dgc

Deprecated at Mark 27.
Replaced by e04kfc.
The new solver e04kfc is part of the NAG optimization modelling suite(see Section 4.1 in the E04 Chapter Introduction), therefore the definition of the objective function values and gradients need to be split into two separate subroutines. e04kfc offers a significant improvement in performance over e04dgc as well as additional functionality, such as the addition of variable bounds and monitoring.

They also offer various algorithmic additions, such as a performance improvement on noisy problems, a possibility to progress towards the solution earlier than after n initial function evaluations, heuristic stopping criteria, recovery from unavailable function evaluations, and various other algorithmic updates and tuning. In addition, e04jec offers a reverse communication interface (see Section 4.2 in the E04 Chapter Introduction) which might be useful in some environments or if you can parallelize your function evaluations.

f07arc performs the LU factorization and f03bnc calculates the determinant from the factored form.
Note: the details of the LU factorization performed by f07arc differ from those perfomed by f03ahc; subsequent solution of linear systems using the LU factorization performed by f07arc should be performed using f07asc. The determinant returned by f03bnc independently scales the real and imaginary parts whereas the determinant returned by f03ahc used a single scaling factor.

F06 – Linear Algebra Support Functions

The functions in Chapter F16 provide greater functionality than their corresponding functions in Chapter F06. The essential differences are:
  1. The order argument. This provides the flexibility to operate on matrix data stored in row or column major order.
  2. The addition of the fail argument to trap data errors. The f06 functions used to abort noisily.
  3. The enumeration types and members use NAG_ as the prefix. This is to guard against accidental use of non-NAG enums.
  4. Scale factors have been introduced in some functions. For example nag_dtrmv (f16pfc) has an extra argument, alpha which was not present in the corresponding old_dtrmv (f06pfc) function.

G01 – Simple Calculations on Statistical Data

g01aac

Withdrawn at Mark 26.
Replaced by g01atc.
Withdrawn because on output, additional information was needed to allow large datasets to be processed in blocks and the results combined through a call to g01auc. This information is returned in rcomm.

Old Code

/* g01aac */
nag_stat_withdraw_summary_1var(n, x, wt, &nvalid, &xmean, &xsd, &xskew,
                               &xkurt,&xmin, &xmax, &wsum, &fail);

                        &xmin, &xmax, rcomm, &fail);
nvalid = pn;
wtsum = rcomm[0];

g01cec

Withdrawn at Mark 24.
Replaced by g01fac.

Old Code

G02 – Correlation and Regression Analysis

g02ewc

Withdrawn at Mark 25.
Replaced by g02efh (see monfun in g02efc).

Old Code

nag_correg_(flag, var, val, &fail)

New Code

nag_correg_linregm_fit_stepwise_sample_monfun(flag, var, val, &fail)
Note: it is unlikely that you will need to call this function directly. Rather it will be supplied as a function argument to g02efc when monitoring information is required.

g02jac
g02jbc
g02jcc
g02jdc
g02jec

Deprecated at Mark 27.
For each of the routines g02jac, g02jbc, g02jcc, g02jdc and g02jec there is not a direct one-to-one replacement, rather they have been replaced with a new suite of routines. This new suite allows a linear mixed effects model to be specified using a modelling language; giving a more natural way of specifying the model, allowing interaction terms to be specified and means that it is no longer necessary to create dummy variables when the model contains categorical variables.
The new suite of routines consists of: In addition to the routines listed above, the following can also be used: By default, the model fitting routine, g02jhc, fits the linear mixed effects model using restricted maximum likelihood (REML). In order to fit the model using maximum likelihood (ML) you need to call the optional argument setting routine, g22zmc with optstr set to Likelihood=ML, between the call to g02jfc and the call to g02jhc.

G05 – Random Number Generators

g05cac

Withdrawn at Mark 24.
Replaced by g05sac.

Old Code

/*  g05cac */
    for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
    x[i] = nag_random_continuous_uniform();

New Code

/*  g05sac */
    nag_rand_dist_uniform01(n,state,x,&fail);
The Integer array state in the call to g05sac contains information on the base generator being used. This array must have been initialized prior to calling g05sac with a call to either g05kfc or g05kgc. The required length of the array state will depend on the base generator chosen during initialization. Due to changes in the underlying code the sequence of values produced by g05sac is likely to be different from those produced by g05cac.

g05cbc

Withdrawn at Mark 24.
Replaced by g05kfc.

Old Code

/* g05cbc */
nag_random_init_repeatable(i);

New Code

lseed = 1;
seed[0] = i;
genid = Nag_Basic;
subid = 1;

/* g05kfc */
nag_rand_init_repeat(genid,subid,seed,lseed,state,&lstate,&fail);
The Integer array state in the call to g05kfc contains information on the base generator being used. The base generator is chosen via the integer arguments genid and subid. The required length of the array state depends on the base generator chosen. Due to changes in the underlying code a sequence of values produced by using a random number generator initialized via a call to g05kfc is likely to be different from a sequence produced by a generator initialized by g05cbc, even if the same value for i is used.
Note: it may still be necessary to call g05cbc rather than the replacement function g05kfc when using d01xbc. See Section 10 in d01xbc for additional information.

g05ccc

Withdrawn at Mark 24.
Replaced by g05kgc.

Old Code

/* g05ccc */
nag_random_init_nonrepeatable();

New Code

genid = Nag_Basic;
subid = 1;

/* g05kgc */
nag_rand_init_nonrepeat(genid,subid,state,&lstate,&fail);
The Integer array state in the call to g05kgc contains information on the base generator being used. The base generator is chosen via the integer arguments genid and subid. The required length of the array state depends on the base generator chosen.
Note: it may still be necessary to call g05ccc rather than the replacement function g05kgc when using d01xbc. See Section 10 in d01xbc for additional information.

g05cfc

Withdrawn at Mark 24.
There is no replacement for this function.

Old Code

/* g05cfc */
nag_save_random_state(istate,xstate);

New Code

for (i = 0; i < lstate; i++)
  istate[i] = state[i];
The state of the base generator for the group of functions g05kfc, g05kgc, g05khc, g05kjc, g05ncc, g05ndc, g05pdcg05pzc, g05rccg05rzc, g05s and g05t can be saved by simply creating a local copy of the array state. The first element of the state array contains the number of elements that are used by the random number generating functions, therefore either this number of elements can be copied, or the whole array (as defined in the calling program).

g05cgc

Withdrawn at Mark 24.
There is no replacement for this function.

Old Code

/* g05cgc */
nag_restore_random_state(istate,xstate,&fail);

New Code

for (i = 0; i < lstate; i++)
  state[i] = istate[i];
The state of the base generator for the group of functions g05kfc, g05kgc, g05khc, g05kjc, g05ncc, g05ndc, g05pdcg05pzc, g05rccg05rzc, g05s and g05t can be restored by simply copying back the previously saved copy of the state array. The first element of the state array contains the number of elements that are used by the random number generating functions, therefore either this number of elements can be copied, or the whole array (as defined in the calling program).

g05dac

Withdrawn at Mark 24.
Replaced by g05sqc.

Old Code

for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
  /* g05dac */
  x[i] =  nag_random_continuous_uniform_ab(aa,bb);

New Code

a = (aa < bb) ? aa : bb;
b = (aa < bb) ? bb : aa;

/* g05sqc */
nag_rand_dist_uniform(n,a,b,state,x,&fail);
The old function g05dac returns a single variate at a time, whereas the new function g05sqc returns a vector of n values in one go. In g05sqc the minimum value must be held in the argument a and the maximum in argument b, therefore a<b. This was not the case for the equivalent arguments in g05dac.
The Integer array state in the call to g05sqc contains information on the base generator being used. This array must have been initialized prior to calling g05sqc with a call to either g05kfc or g05kgc. The required length of the array state will depend on the base generator chosen during initialization. Due to changes in the underlying code the sequence of values produced by g05sqc is likely to be different from those produced by g05dac.

  /* g05dbc */
  x[i] = nag_random_exp(aa);

New Code

a = fabs(aa);
/* g05sfc */
nag_rand_dist_exp(n,a,state,x,&fail);
The old function g05dbc returns a single variate at a time, whereas the new function g05sfc returns a vector of n values in one go. In g05sfc argument a must be non-negative, this was not the case for the equivalent argument in g05dbc.
The Integer array state in the call to g05sfc contains information on the base generator being used. This array must have been initialized prior to calling g05sfc with a call to either g05kfc or g05kgc. The required length of the array state will depend on the base generator chosen during initialization. Due to changes in the underlying code the sequence of values produced by g05sfc is likely to be different from those produced by g05dbc.

g05ddc

Withdrawn at Mark 24.
Replaced by g05skc.

Old Code

for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
  /* g05ddc */
  x[i] = nag_random_normal(xmu,sd);

New Code

/* g05skc */
nag_rand_dist_normal(n,xmu,var,state,x,&fail);
The old function g05ddc returns a single variate at a time, whereas the new function g05skc returns a vector of n values in one go. g05skc expects the variance of the Normal distribution (argument var), compared to g05ddc which expected the standard deviation.
The Integer array state in the call to g05skc contains information on the base generator being used. This array must have been initialized prior to calling g05skc with a call to either g05kfc or g05kgc. The required length of the array state will depend on the base generator chosen during initialization. Due to changes in the underlying code the sequence of values produced by g05skc is likely to be different from those produced by g05ddc.

g05dyc

Withdrawn at Mark 24.
Replaced by g05tlc.

Old Code

for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
  /* g05dyc */

New Code

a = (aa < bb) ? aa : bb;
b = (aa < bb) ? bb : aa;
/* g05tlc */
nag_rand_int_uniform(n,a,b,state,x,&fail);
The old function g05dyc returns a single variate at a time, whereas the new function g05tlc returns a vector of n values in one go. In g05tlc the minimum value must be held in the argument a and the maximum in argument b, therefore ab. This was not the case for the equivalent arguments in g05dyc.
The Integer array state in the call to g05tlc contains information on the base generator being used. This array must have been initialized prior to calling g05tlc with a call to either g05kfc or g05kgc. The required length of the array state will depend on the base generator chosen during initialization. Due to changes in the underlying code the sequence of values produced by g05tlc is likely to be different from those produced by g05dyc.

g05eac

nag_rand_multivar_normal(order,mode,n,m,a,c,tdc,r,lr,
                         state,x,pdx,&fail);
The old function g05eac sets up a reference vector for use by g05ezc. The functionality of both these functions has been combined into the single new function g05rzc. Setting mode=Nag_InitializeReference in the call to g05rzc only sets up the double reference vector r and hence mimics the functionality of g05eac.
The length of the double reference vector, r, in g05rzc must be at least m×(m+1)+1. In contrast to the equivalent argument in g05eac, this array must be allocated in the calling program.

g05ecc

r = NAG_ALLOC(lr,double);

/* g05tjc */
nag_rand_int_poisson(mode,n,t,r,lr,state,x,&fail);
The old function g05ecc sets up a reference vector for use by g05eyc. The replacement function g05tjc is now used to both set up a reference vector and generate the required variates. Setting mode=Nag_InitializeReference in the call to g05tjc sets up the double reference vector r and hence mimics the functionality of g05ecc. Setting mode=Nag_GenerateFromReference generates a series of variates from a reference vector mimicking the functionality of g05eyc for this particular distribution. Setting mode=Nag_InitializeAndGenerate initializes the reference vector and generates the variates in one go.
The function g05eyc returns a single variate at a time, whereas the new function g05tjc returns a vector of n values in one go.
The length of the double reference vector, r, in g05tjc, must be allocated in the calling program in contrast to the equivalent argument in g05ecc, see the documentation for more details.
The Integer array state in the call to g05tjc contains information on the base generator being used. This array must have been initialized prior to calling g05tjc with a call to either g05kfc or g05kgc. The required length of the array state will depend on the base generator chosen during initialization. Due to changes in the underlying code the sequence of values produced by g05tjc is likely to be different from those produced by a combination of g05ecc and g05eyc.

g05edc

/* g05tac */
nag_rand_int_binomial(mode,n,m,p,r,lr,state,x,&fail);
The old function g05edc sets up a reference vector for use by g05eyc. The replacement function g05tac is now used to both set up a reference vector and generate the required variates. Setting mode=Nag_InitializeReference in the call to g05tac sets up the double reference vector r and hence mimics the functionality of g05edc. Setting mode=Nag_GenerateFromReference generates a series of variates from a reference vector mimicking the functionality of g05eyc for this particular distribution. Setting mode=Nag_InitializeAndGenerate initializes the reference vector and generates the variates in one go.
The function g05eyc returns a single variate at a time, whereas the new function g05tac returns a vector of n values in one go.
The length of the double reference vector, r, in g05tac, needs to be a different length from the equivalent argument in g05edc, see the documentation for more details.
The Integer array state in the call to g05tac contains information on the base generator being used. This array must have been initialized prior to calling g05tac with a call to either g05kfc or g05kgc. The required length of the array state will depend on the base generator chosen during initialization. Due to changes in the underlying code the sequence of values produced by g05tac is likely to be different from those produced by a combination of g05edc and g05eyc.

The Integer array state in the call to g05ncc contains information on the base generator being used. This array must have been initialized prior to calling g05ncc with a call to either g05kfc or g05kgc. The required length of the array state will depend on the base generator chosen during initialization. Due to changes in the underlying code the sequence of values produced by g05ncc is likely to be different from those produced by g05ehc.

The Integer array state in the call to g05ndc contains information on the base generator being used. This array must have been initialized prior to calling g05ndc with a call to either g05kfc or g05kgc. The required length of the array state will depend on the base generator chosen during initialization.

nag_rand_int_general(mode,n,p,np,sizep,distf,r,lr,state,x,&fail);
The old function g05exc sets up a reference vector for use by g05eyc. The replacement function g05tdc is now used to both set up a reference vector and generate the required variates. Setting mode=Nag_InitializeReference in the call to g05tdc sets up the double reference vector r and hence mimics the functionality of g05exc. Setting mode=Nag_GenerateFromReference generates a series of variates from a reference vector mimicking the functionality of g05eyc for this particular distribution.

g05eyc

Withdrawn at Mark 24.
Replaced by g05tdc.
There is no direct replacement function for g05eyc.
g05eyc is designed to generate random draws from a distribution defined by a reference vector. These reference vectors are created by other functions in Chapter G05, for example g05ecc, which have themselves been superseded. In order to replace a call to g05eyc you must identify which NAG function generated the reference vector being used and look up its replacement. For example, to replace a call to g05eyc preceded by a call to g05exc, as in:
/* g05exc */
nag_ref_vec_discrete_pdf_cdf(p,np,sizep,distf,&r,&fail);
/* g05eyc */
x = nag_return_discrete(r);
you would need to look at the replacement function for g05exc.

The old function g05eac sets up a reference vector for use by g05ezc. The functionality of both these functions has been combined into the single new function g05rzc. Setting mode=Nag_InitializeAndGenerate in the call to g05rzc sets up the double reference vector r and generates the draws from the multivariate Normal distribution in one go.
The old function g05ezc returns a single (m-dimensional vector) draw from the multivariate Normal distribution at a time, whereas the new function g05rzc returns an n by m matrix of n draws in one go.
The Integer array state in the call to g05rzc contains information on the base generator being used.

Old Code

/* g05yac */

New Code

liref = (seq == Nag_QuasiRandom_Faure) ? 407 : 32 * idim + 7;

g05yac has been split into two functions; g05ylc to initialize the quasi-random generators and g05ymc to generate the values. g05ymc will generate more than one realization at a time.

Therefore there is no longer any need to call a function to release memory as iref can be "freed" like any C array.

g05ybc has been split into three functions; g05ylc to initialize the quasi-random generators, g05ykc to generate values from a log-normal distribution and g05yjc to generate values from a normal distribution. Both g05ykc and g05yjc will generate more than one realization at a time. Information is passed between g05ylc and g05ykc and g05yjc using the integer vector iref rather than the NAG defined structure gf.
