51 This function find some uses in statistical distributions: it implements
52 the partial derivative with respect to
<span class=
"emphasis"><em>x
</em></span> of the incomplete
56 <span class=
"inlinemediaobject"><img src=
"../../../equations/derivative1.svg"></span>
59 The final
<a class=
"link" href=
"../../policy.html" title=
"Chapter 15. Policies: Controlling Precision, Error Handling etc">Policy
</a> argument is optional and can
60 be used to control the behaviour of the function: how it handles errors,
61 what level of precision to use etc. Refer to the
<a class=
"link" href=
"../../policy.html" title=
"Chapter 15. Policies: Controlling Precision, Error Handling etc">policy
62 documentation for more details
</a>.
65 Note that the derivative of the function
<a class=
"link" href=
"igamma.html" title=
"Incomplete Gamma Functions">gamma_q
</a>
66 can be obtained by negating the result of this function.
69 The return type of this function is computed using the
<a class=
"link" href=
"../result_type.html" title=
"Calculation of the Type of the Result"><span class=
"emphasis"><em>result
70 type calculation rules
</em></span></a> when T1 and T2 are different types,
71 otherwise the return type is simply T1.
