scipy.special

scipy’s special module defines several functions that behave as do the standard mathematical functions of the numpy, i.e., they can be called on any scalar, scalar-valued iterable (ranges, lists, tuples containing numbers), and on ndarrays without having to change the call signature. In all cases the functions return a new ndarray of typecode float (since these functions usually generate float values, anyway).

At present, ulab’s special module contains the following functions:

erf, erfc, gamma, and gammaln, and they can be called by prepending them by scipy.special..

# code to be run in micropython

from ulab import numpy as np
from ulab import scipy as spy

a = range(9)
b = np.array(a)

print('a: ', a)
print(spy.special.erf(a))

print('\nb: ', b)
print(spy.special.erfc(b))
a:  range(0, 9)
