Compute the natural logarithm of exp(x) + exp(y).
APACHE-2.0 License
Evaluates the natural logarithm of
exp(x) + exp(y)
.
Log-domain computations are commonly used to increase accuracy and avoid underflow and overflow when very small or very large numbers are represented directly as limited-precision, floating-point numbers. For example, in statistics, evaluating logaddexp()
is useful when probabilities are so small as to exceed the normal range of floating-point numbers.
npm install @stdlib/math-base-special-logaddexp

script
tag without installation and bundlers, use the ES Module available on the esm
