#include <iostream>
//[policy_eg_6
/*`
Suppose we want a set of distributions to behave as follows:
* Return infinity on overflow, rather than throwing an exception.
* Don't perform any promotion from double to long double internally.
* Return the closest integer result from the quantiles of discrete
distributions.
We'll begin by including the needed header:
*/
#include <boost/math/distributions.hpp>
/*`
Open up an appropriate namespace for our distributions, and
define the policy type we want. Any policies we don't
specify here will inherit the defaults:
*/
namespace my_distributions{
using namespace boost::math::policies;
typedef policy<
// return infinity and set errno rather than throw:
overflow_error<errno_on_error>,
// Don't promote double -> long double internally:
promote_double<false>,
// Return the closest integer result for discrete quantiles:
discrete_quantile<integer_round_nearest>
> my_policy;
/*`
All we need do now is invoke the BOOST_MATH_DECLARE_DISTRIBUTIONS
macro passing the floating point and policy types as arguments:
*/
BOOST_MATH_DECLARE_DISTRIBUTIONS(double, my_policy)
} // close namespace my_namespace
/*`
We now have a set of typedefs defined in namespace my_namespace
that all look something like this:
``
typedef boost::math::normal_distribution<double, my_policy> normal;
typedef boost::math::cauchy_distribution<double, my_policy> cauchy;
typedef boost::math::gamma_distribution<double, my_policy> gamma;
// etc
``
So that when we use my_namespace::normal we really end up using
`boost::math::normal_distribution<double, my_policy>`:
*/
int main()
{
//
// Start with something we know will overflow:
//
my_distributions::normal norm(10, 2);
errno = 0;
std::cout << "Result of quantile(norm, 0) is: "
<< quantile(norm, 0) << std::endl;
std::cout << "errno = " << errno << std::endl;
errno = 0;
std::cout << "Result of quantile(norm, 1) is: "
<< quantile(norm, 1) << std::endl;
std::cout << "errno = " << errno << std::endl;
//
// Now try a discrete distribution:
//
my_distributions::binomial binom(20, 0.25);
std::cout << "Result of quantile(binom, 0.05) is: "
<< quantile(binom, 0.05) << std::endl;
std::cout << "Result of quantile(complement(binom, 0.05)) is: "
<< quantile(complement(binom, 0.05)) << std::endl;
}
/*`
Which outputs:
[pre
Result of quantile(norm, 0) is: -1.#INF
errno = 34
Result of quantile(norm, 1) is: 1.#INF
errno = 34
Result of quantile(binom, 0.05) is: 1
Result of quantile(complement(binom, 0.05)) is: 8
]
This mechanism is particularly useful when we want to define a
project-wide policy, and don't want to modify the Boost source
or set - possibly fragile and easy to forget - project wide
build macros.
