{{alias}}( n, x )
Evaluates the polygamma function of order `n`; i.e., the (n+1)th derivative
of the natural logarithm of the gamma function.
If `n` is not a nonnegative integer, the function returns `NaN`.
If `x` is zero or a negative integer, the function returns `NaN`.
If provided `NaN` as either parameter, the function returns `NaN`.
Parameters
----------
n: integer
Derivative order.
x: number
Input value.
Returns
-------
y: number
Function value.
