\begin{Description}\relax
Bessel Functions of integer and fractional order, of first
and second kind, \eqn{J_{\nu}}{J(nu)} and \eqn{Y_{\nu}}{Y(nu)}, and
Modified Bessel functions (of first and third kind),
\eqn{I_{\nu}}{I(nu)} and \eqn{K_{\nu}}{K(nu)}. 

\code{gammaCody} is the \eqn{(\Gamma)}{} function as from the Specfun
package and originally used in the Bessel code.
\end{Description}
\begin{Usage}
\begin{verbatim}
besselI(x, nu, expon.scaled = FALSE)
besselK(x, nu, expon.scaled = FALSE)
besselJ(x, nu)
besselY(x, nu)
gammaCody(x)
\end{verbatim}
\end{Usage}
\begin{Arguments}
\begin{ldescription}
\item[\code{x}] numeric, \eqn{\ge 0}{>= 0}.
\item[\code{nu}] numeric; The \emph{order} (maybe fractional!) of the
corresponding Bessel function.
\item[\code{expon.scaled}] logical; if \code{TRUE}, the results are
exponentially scaled in order to avoid overflow
(\eqn{I_{\nu}}{I(nu)}) or underflow (\eqn{K_{\nu}}{K(nu)}),
respectively.
\end{ldescription}
\end{Arguments}
\begin{Details}\relax
The underlying C code stems from \emph{Netlib}
(\url{http://www.netlib.org/specfun/r[ijky]besl}).

If \code{expon.scaled = TRUE}, \eqn{e^{-x} I_{\nu}(x)}{exp(-x) I(x;nu)},
or \eqn{e^{x} K_{\nu}(x)}{exp(x) K(x;nu)} are returned.

\code{gammaCody} may be somewhat faster but less precise and/or robust
than \R's standard \code{\LinkA{gamma}{gamma}}.  It is here for experimental
purpose mainly, and \emph{may be defunct very soon}.

For \eqn{\nu < 0}{nu < 0}, formulae 9.1.2 and 9.6.2 from the
reference below are applied (which is probably suboptimal), unless for
\code{besselK} which is symmetric in \code{nu}.
\end{Details}
\begin{Value}
Numeric vector of the same length of \code{x} with the (scaled, if
\code{expon.scale=TRUE}) values of the corresponding Bessel function.
\end{Value}
