Module simuPOP.gsl

simuPOP makes use of many functions from the GUN Scientific Library. These functions are used to generate random number and perform statistical tests within simuPOP. Although these functions are not part of simuPOP, they can be useful to users of simuPOP from time to time and it makes sense to expose these functions directly to users.

Module simuPOP.gsl contains a number of GSL functions. Because only a small proportion of GSL functions are used in simuPOP, this module is by no means a comprehensive wrapper of GSL. Please refer to the simuPOP reference manual for a list of functions included in this module, and the GSL manual for more details. Because random number generation functions such as gsl_ran_gamma are already provided in the simuPOP.RNG class (e.g. getRNG.randGamma), they are not provided in this module.
