Re: [SciPy-user] getting stats.zprob to return float96

Hello everyone,

I'm using stats.zprob and need some more decimal points than standard python floats can give me, and I need the function to be fast. Can I get the standard scipy zprob or ndtr to return float96 in some way? Or do I need to modify something in special/cephes or something like that?

You would have to find or write a routine that used higher precision floats. We don't wrap any of them. Cephes does have quad-precision versions of many of their functions, but you would have to wrap them yourself. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco
