- ## usage: gammai (a, x)
- ##
- ## Computes the incomplete gamma function
- ##
- ## gammai(a, x)
- ## = (integral from 0 to x of exp(-t) t^(a-1) dt) / gamma(a).
- ##
- ## If a is scalar, then gammai(a, x) is returned for each element of x
- ## and vice versa.
- ##
- ## If neither a nor x is scalar, the sizes of a and x must agree, and
- ## gammai is applied pointwise.
