Where to find source of C_pbinom?
Hi, I have not followed the e-mail trail, but if you are looking for the C source code for pbinom, then it is pbinom.c in src/nmath. HTH, Ranjan On Wed, 27 Aug 2014 08:34:11 -0400 Marius Hofert

Dear Sarah, Dear David,
thanks for helping. I know the FAQ and I know the R News article, but
I still couldn't figure it out. First, pbinom calls
.External(C_pbinom,...). Grepping for C_pbinom reveals... nothing
(except the appearance in .External). Going to ./src/main/names.c
reveals "{"pbinom", do_math3, 5, 11, 3+2, {PP_FUNCALL, PREC_FN, 0}},",
so the next step is to grep for do_math3 (which also applies for
"dbeta", "pbeta",..., "qnbinom_mu"). There is a connection to pbinom
again in ./src/main/arithmetic.c (SEXP attribute_hidden do_math3):
Math3_2(args, pbinom) is called. src/library/stats/src/distn.c then
shows that "Math3_2(args, pbinom)" is called. Since we just already
grepped for Math3_2, the trip ends here.
So how can one find the source code of pbinom() in this case?
Cheers,
Marius

Dear expeRts, I would like to find out how R computes pbinom(). A grep in the source code reveiled src/library/stats/R/distn.R:146: .External(C_pbinom, q, size, prob, lower.tail, log.p), so 'C_pbinom' refers to compiled C/C++ code loaded into R. Where can I find the source code of C_pbinom? Cheers, Marius
