NAG LibraryAdvice on Replacement Calls for Withdrawn/Superseded Functions

The following list gives the names of replacement functions for those functions that have been withdrawn or superseded since Mark 23.
The list indicates the minimum change necessary, but many of the replacement functions have additional flexibility and you may wish to take advantage of new features. It is strongly recommended that you consult the function documents.

{
...
}
...
Nag_Comm comm;
...
nag_zero_cont_func_brent(a, b, xtol, ftol, f, &x, &comm, &fail);```
Note that the communication structure comm is now of type Nag_Comm (see Section 3.2.1.1 in the Essential Introduction) rather than Nag_User (see Section 3.2.1.1 in the Essential Introduction).

e01 – Interpolation

nag_2d_scat_interpolant (e01sac)

Withdrawn at Mark 23.
Replaced by nag_2d_shep_interp (e01sgc) or nag_2d_triang_interp (e01sjc).
nag_2d_scat_interpolant (e01sac) generates a two-dimensional surface interpolating a set of scattered data points, using either the method of Renka and Cline or a modification of Shepard's method. The replacement functions separate these two methods.

e01sac_rk.c

provides replacement call information for the Renka and Cline method (nag_2d_shep_interp (e01sgc)) and

e01sac_shep.c

provides replacement call information for the Shepard's method (nag_2d_triang_interp (e01sjc)).

nag_2d_scat_eval (e01sbc)

Withdrawn at Mark 23.
Replaced by nag_2d_shep_eval (e01shc) or nag_2d_triang_eval (e01skc).
See the example program

e01sac_rk.c

and

e01sac_shep.c

for full details.

nag_2d_scat_free (e01szc)

Withdrawn at Mark 23.
There is no replacement for this function.

e04 – Minimizing or Maximizing a Function

nag_opt_simplex (e04ccc)

Scheduled for withdrawal at Mark 24.
Replaced by nag_opt_simplex_easy (e04cbc).
The new function can be derived from the old as follows:
```Old: nag_opt_simplex(n, funct, x, &objf, &options, &comm, &fail);
New: nag_opt_simplex_easy(n, x, &objf, tolf, tolx, funct, monit, maxcal,
&comm, &fail);```
The options structure has been removed from nag_opt_simplex (e04ccc). The optim_tol member of the options structure has been introduced as the argument tolf. tolx is an additional argument to control tolerance.

f01 – Matrix Operations, Including Inversion

nag_complex_cholesky (f01bnc)

Scheduled for withdrawal at Mark 25.
Replaced by nag_zpotrf (f07frc).
If you were only using nag_complex_cholesky (f01bnc) in order to feed its results into nag_hermitian_lin_eqn_mult_rhs (f04awc), then the simple replacement function given further below, in the section for nag_hermitian_lin_eqn_mult_rhs (f04awc), will suffice. A more thorough replacement function is given here and it will put the same values in arrays a and p as nag_complex_cholesky (f01bnc) did.
```void f01bnc_replacement(Integer n, Complex a[], Integer tda,
double p[], NagError *fail)
{
Integer i, pdb=n;
Complex *b;

b = NAG_ALLOC(n*n, Complex);
/* replacement factorization routine requires the upper triangle
to be stored for U^H*U, but f01bnc expects the lower triangle
to be stored so put the lower triangle of a into the upper
triangle of b */
/* nag_zge_copy */
f16tfc(Nag_RowMajor, Nag_ConjTrans, n, n, a, tda, b, pdb, fail);
/* factorise b */
/* nag_zpotrf */
f07frc(Nag_RowMajor, Nag_Upper, n, b,pdb, fail);
/* diagonal elements to populate the p array */
for (i = 0; i < n; ++i) p[i] = 1.0/b[i*tda+i].re;
/* overwrite the off-diagonal upper triangle of a with U */
/* nag_ztr_copy */
f16tec(Nag_RowMajor, Nag_Upper, Nag_NoTrans, Nag_UnitDiag, n,
b, pdb, a, tda, fail);
NAG_FREE(b);
}
```

nag_real_qr (f01qcc)

Scheduled for withdrawal at Mark 25.
Replaced by nag_dgeqrf (f08aec).
The subdiagonal elements of a and the elements of zeta returned by nag_dgeqrf (f08aec) are not the same as those returned by nag_real_qr (f01qcc). Subsequent calls to nag_real_apply_q (f01qdc) or nag_real_form_q (f01qec) must also be replaced by calls to nag_dorgqr (f08afc) or nag_dormqr (f08agc) as shown below.
```void f01qcc_replacement(Integer m, Integer n, double a[], Integer tda,
double zeta[], NagError *fail)
{
/* nag_dgeqrf */
f08aec(Nag_RowMajor, m, n, a, tda, zeta, fail);
/* the factorization in a and zeta will be stored differently */
}
```

nag_real_apply_q (f01qdc)

Scheduled for withdrawal at Mark 25.
Replaced by nag_dormqr (f08agc).
The following replacement is valid only if the previous call to nag_real_qr (f01qcc) has been replaced by a call to nag_dgeqrf (f08aec) as shown below. It also assumes that the second argument of nag_real_apply_q (f01qdc) is set to $\mathbf{wheret}=\mathrm{Nag_ElementsSeparate}$, which is appropriate if the contents of a and zeta have not been changed after the call of nag_real_qr (f01qcc).
```void f01qcc_replacement(Integer m, Integer n, double a[], Integer tda,
double zeta[], NagError *fail)
{
/* nag_dgeqrf */
f08aec(Nag_RowMajor, m, n, a, tda, zeta, fail);
/* the factorization in a and zeta will be stored differently */ }

void f01qdc_replacement(MatrixTranspose trans, Nag_WhereElements wheret,
Integer m, Integer n, double a[], Integer tda, const double zeta[],
Integer ncolb, double b[], Integer tdb, NagError *fail) {
Nag_TransType t = (trans==NoTranspose)? Nag_NoTrans : Nag_Trans;
/* nag_dormqr */
f08agc(Nag_RowMajor, Nag_LeftSide, t, m, ncolb, n, a, tda, zeta,
b, tdb, fail);
}
```

nag_real_form_q (f01qec)

Scheduled for withdrawal at Mark 25.
Replaced by nag_dorgqr (f08afc).
The following replacement is valid only if the previous call to nag_real_qr (f01qcc) has been replaced by a call to nag_dgeqrf (f08aec) as shown below. It also assumes that the first argument of nag_real_form_q (f01qec) is set to $\mathbf{wheret}=\mathrm{Nag_ElementsSeparate}$, which is appropriate if the contents of a and zeta have not been changed after the call of nag_real_qr (f01qcc).
```void f01qcc_replacement(Integer m, Integer n, double a[], Integer tda,
double zeta[], NagError *fail)
{
/* nag_dgeqrf */
f08aec(Nag_RowMajor, m, n, a, tda, zeta, fail);
/* the factorization in a and zeta will be stored differently */
}

void f01qec_replacement(Nag_WhereElements wheret, Integer m, Integer n,
Integer ncolq, double a[], Integer tda, const double zeta[],
NagError *fail)
{
/* factorization performed by nag_dgeqrf (f08aec) */
/* nag_dorgqr */
f08afc(Nag_RowMajor, m, ncolq, n, a, tda, zeta, fail);
}
```

nag_complex_qr (f01rcc)

Scheduled for withdrawal at Mark 25.
Replaced by nag_zgeqrf (f08asc).
The subdiagonal elements of a and the elements of theta returned by nag_zgeqrf (f08asc) are not the same as those returned by nag_complex_qr (f01rcc). Subsequent calls to nag_complex_apply_q (f01rdc) or nag_complex_form_q (f01rec) must also be replaced by calls to nag_zunmqr (f08auc) or nag_zungqr (f08atc) as shown below.
```void f01rcc_replacement(Integer m, Integer n, Complex a[], Integer tda,
Complex theta[], NagError *fail)
{
/* nag_zgeqrf */
f08asc(Nag_RowMajor, m, n, a, tda, theta, fail);
/* the factorization in a and theta will be stored differently */
}
```

nag_complex_apply_q (f01rdc)

Scheduled for withdrawal at Mark 25.
Replaced by nag_zunmqr (f08auc).
The following replacement is valid only if the previous call to nag_complex_qr (f01rcc) has been replaced by a call to nag_zgeqrf (f08asc) as shown below. It also assumes that the second argument of nag_complex_apply_q (f01rdc) is set to $\mathbf{wheret}=\mathrm{Nag_ElementsSeparate}$, which is appropriate if the contents of a and theta have not been changed after the call of nag_complex_qr (f01rcc).
```void f01rcc_replacement(Integer m, Integer n, Complex a[], Integer tda,
Complex theta[], NagError *fail)
{
/* nag_zgeqrf */
f08asc(Nag_RowMajor, m, n, a, tda, theta, fail);
/* the factorization in a and theta will be stored differently */
}

void f01rdc_replacement(MatrixTranspose trans, Nag_WhereElements wheret,
Integer m, Integer n, Complex a[], Integer tda, const Complex theta[],
Integer ncolb, Complex b[], Integer tdb, NagError *fail)
{
Nag_TransType t = (trans==NoTranspose)? Nag_NoTrans : Nag_ConjTrans;
/* nag_zunmqr */
f08auc(Nag_RowMajor, Nag_LeftSide, t, m, ncolb, n, a, tda, theta,
b, tdb, fail);
}
```

nag_complex_form_q (f01rec)

Scheduled for withdrawal at Mark 25.
Replaced by nag_zungqr (f08atc).
The following replacement is valid only if the previous call to nag_complex_qr (f01rcc) has been replaced by a call to nag_zgeqrf (f08asc) as shown below. It also assumes that the first argument of nag_complex_form_q (f01rec) is set to $\mathbf{wheret}=\mathrm{Nag_ElementsSeparate}$, which is appropriate if the contents of a and theta have not been changed after the call of nag_complex_qr (f01rcc).
```void f01rcc_replacement(Integer m, Integer n, Complex a[], Integer tda,
Complex theta[], NagError *fail)
{
/* nag_zgeqrf */
f08asc(Nag_RowMajor, m, n, a, tda, theta, fail);
/* the factorization in a and theta will be stored differently */
}

void f01rec_replacement(Nag_WhereElements wheret, Integer m, Integer n,
Integer ncolq, Complex a[], Integer tda, const Complex theta[],
NagError *fail)
{
/* nag_zungqr */
/* factorization performed by nag_zgeqrf (f08asc) */
f08atc(Nag_RowMajor, m, ncolq, n, a, tda, theta, fail);
}
```

f03 – Determinants

nag_real_cholesky (f03aec)

Scheduled for withdrawal at Mark 25.
Replaced by nag_dpotrf (f07fdc) and nag_det_real_sym (f03bfc).
```void f03aec_replacement(Integer n, double a[], Integer tda,
double p[], double *detf, Integer *dete, NagError *fail)
{
f07fdc(Nag_RowMajor, Nag_Upper, n, a, tda, fail);
f03bfc(Nag_RowMajor, n, a, tda, detf, dete, fail);
/* p is not written to */
/* factorization in a will be different */
}
```
nag_dpotrf (f07fdc) performs the Cholesky factorization and nag_det_real_sym (f03bfc) calculates the determinant from the factored form.
Note: subsequent solution of linear systems using the Cholesky factorization performed by nag_dpotrf (f07fdc) should be performed using nag_dpotrs (f07fec)).

nag_real_lu (f03afc)

Scheduled for withdrawal at Mark 25.
Replaced by nag_dgetrf (f07adc) and nag_det_real_gen (f03bac).
```void f03afc_replacement(Integer n, double a[], Integer tda,
Integer pivot[], double *detf, Integer *dete, NagError *fail)
{
/* nag_dgetrf */
f07adc(Nag_RowMajor, n, n, a, tda, pivot, fail);
/* nag_det_real_gen */
f03bac(Nag_RowMajor, n, a, tda, pivot, detf, dete, fail);
/* the factorization in a will be different */
/* the array pivot will be different */
}
```
Note: subsequent solution of linear systems using the $LU$ factorization performed by nag_dgetrf (f07adc) should be performed using nag_dgetrs (f07aec)).

nag_complex_lu (f03ahc)

Scheduled for withdrawal at Mark 25.
Replaced by nag_zgetrf (f07arc) and nag_det_complex_gen (f03bnc).
```void f03ahc_replacement(Integer n, Complex a[], Integer tda,
Integer pivot[], Complex *det, Integer *dete, NagError *fail)
{
Complex d={0,0};
Integer id[2]={0,0};
/* nag_zgetrf */
f07arc(Nag_RowMajor, n, n, a, tda, pivot, fail);
/* nag_det_complex_gen */
f03bnc(Nag_RowMajor, n, a, tda, pivot, &d, id, fail);
/* Bring real and imaginary parts to a common scale */
*dete = MAX(id[0],id[1]);
det->re = ldexp(d.re,id[0]-*dete);
det->im = ldexp(d.im,id[1]-*dete);
/* the factorization in a will be different */
}
```
nag_zgetrf (f07arc) performs the $LU$ factorization and nag_det_complex_gen (f03bnc) calculates the determinant from the factored form.
Note: the details of the $LU$ factorization performed by nag_zgetrf (f07arc) differ from those perfomed by nag_complex_lu (f03ahc); subsequent solution of linear systems using the $LU$ factorization performed by nag_zgetrf (f07arc) should be performed using nag_zgetrs (f07asc). The determinant returned by nag_det_complex_gen (f03bnc) independently scales the real and imaginary parts whereas the determinant returned by nag_complex_lu (f03ahc) used a single scaling factor.

f04 – Simultaneous Linear Equations

The factorization and solution of a positive definite linear system can be handled by calls to functions from Chapter f07.

Scheduled for withdrawal at Mark 25.
Replaced by nag_complex_gen_lin_solve (f04cac).
```void f04adc_replacement(Integer n, Integer nrhs,
Complex a[], Integer tda, const Complex b[], Integer tdb,
Complex x[], Integer tdx, NagError *fail)
{
Integer *ipiv;
double rcond, errbnd;

ipiv = NAG_ALLOC(n, Integer);
/* nag_zge_copy */
f16tfc(Nag_RowMajor, Nag_NoTrans, n, nrhs, b, tdb, x, tdx, fail);
/* nag_complex_gen_lin_solve */
f04cac(Nag_RowMajor, n, nrhs, a, tda, ipiv, x,
tdx, &rcond, &errbnd, fail);
/* The factorization in a will be different */
/* Error codes will be different */
/* Condition number and error bounds are available to you */
NAG_FREE(ipiv);
}
```

nag_real_cholesky_solve_mult_rhs (f04agc)

Scheduled for withdrawal at Mark 25.
Replaced by nag_dpotrs (f07fec).
It is assumed that the matrix has been factorized by a call to nag_dpotrf (f07fdc) rather than nag_real_cholesky (f03aec). The array p is no longer required.
```void f03aec_replacement(Integer n, double a[], Integer tda,
double p[], double *detf, Integer *dete, NagError *fail)
{
/* nag_dpotrf /*
f07fdc(Nag_RowMajor, Nag_Upper, n, a, tda, fail);
/* nag_det_real_sym */
f03bfc(Nag_RowMajor, n, a, tda, detf, dete, fail);
/* p is not used */
/* the factorization in a will be different */
}

void f04agc_replacement(Integer n, Integer nrhs, double a[],
Integer tda, double p[], const double b[], Integer tdb, double x[],
Integer tdx, NagError *fail)
{
/* nag_dge_copy */
f16qfc(Nag_RowMajor, Nag_NoTrans, n, nrhs, b, tdb, x, tdx, fail);
/* nag_dpotrs */
f07fec(Nag_RowMajor, Nag_Upper, n, nrhs, a, tda, x, tdx, fail);
/* p is not used */
}
```

nag_real_lu_solve_mult_rhs (f04ajc)

Scheduled for withdrawal at Mark 25.
Replaced by nag_dgetrs (f07aec).
It is assumed that the matrix has been factorized by a call to nag_dgetrf (f07adc) rather than nag_real_lu (f03afc).
```void f03afc_replacement(Integer n, double a[], Integer tda,
Integer pivot[], double *detf, Integer *dete, NagError *fail)
{
/* nag_dgetrf */
f07adc(Nag_RowMajor, n, n, a, tda, pivot, fail);
/* nag_det_real_gen */
f03bac(Nag_RowMajor, n, a, tda, pivot, detf, dete, fail);
/* the call to f03bac is not needed if you don't want determinants */
}

void f04ajc_replacement(Integer n, Integer nrhs, const double a[],
Integer tda, const Integer pivot[], double b[], Integer tdb,
NagError *fail)
{
/* nag_dgetrs */
f07aec(Nag_RowMajor, Nag_NoTrans, n, nrhs, a, tda, pivot, b, tdb, fail);
}
```

nag_complex_lu_solve_mult_rhs (f04akc)

Scheduled for withdrawal at Mark 25.
Replaced by nag_zgetrs (f07asc).
```void f03ahc_replacement(Integer n, Complex a[], Integer tda,
Integer pivot[], Complex *det, Integer *dete, NagError *fail)
{
Complex d={0,0};
Integer id[2]={0,0};
/* nag_zgetrf */
f07arc(Nag_RowMajor, n, n, a, tda, pivot, fail);
/* nag_det_complex_gen */
f03bnc(Nag_RowMajor, n, a, tda, pivot, &d, id, fail);
/* Bring real and imaginary parts to a common scale */
*dete = MAX(id[0],id[1]);
det->re = ldexp(d.re,id[0]-*dete);
det->im = ldexp(d.im,id[1]-*dete);
/* the factorization in a will be different */
}

void f04akc_replacement(Integer n, Integer nrhs, const Complex a[],
Integer tda, const Integer pivot[], Complex b[], Integer tdb,
NagError *fail)
{
/* nag_zgetrs */
f07asc(Nag_RowMajor, Nag_NoTrans, n, nrhs, a, tda, pivot, b, tdb, fail );
}
```
It is assumed that the matrix has been factorized by a call to nag_zgetrf (f07arc) rather than nag_complex_lu (f03ahc).

nag_real_lin_eqn (f04arc)

Scheduled for withdrawal at Mark 25.
Replaced by nag_real_gen_lin_solve (f04bac).
```void  f04arc_replacement(Integer n, double a[], Integer tda,

double rcond, errbnd;

ipiv = NAG_ALLOC(n, Integer);
/* nag_dge_copy */

/* nag_real_gen_lin_solve */
f04bac(Nag_RowMajor, n, 1, a, tda, ipiv, x, 1,
&rcond, &errbnd, fail);
/* The factorization in a will be different */
/* Error codes will be different */
/* Condition number and error bounds are available to you */
NAG_FREE(ipiv);
}
```

nag_hermitian_lin_eqn_mult_rhs (f04awc)

Scheduled for withdrawal at Mark 25.
Replaced by nag_zpotrs (f07fsc).
```void f01bnc_replacement(Integer n, Complex a[], Integer tda,
double p[], NagError *fail)
{
/* nag_zpotrf */
f07frc(Nag_RowMajor, Nag_Lower, n, a, tda, fail);
}

void f04awc_replacement(Integer n, Integer nrhs, const Complex a[],
Integer tda, const double p[], const Complex b[],
Integer tdb, Complex x[], Integer tdx, NagError *fail)
{
/* nag_zge_copy */
f16tfc(Nag_RowMajor, Nag_NoTrans, n, nrhs, b, tdb, x, tdx, fail);
/* nag_zpotrs */
f07fsc(Nag_RowMajor, Nag_Lower, n, nrhs, a, tda, x, tdx, fail);
}
```
Note that the preceding call to nag_complex_cholesky (f01bnc) has been replaced by nag_zpotrf (f07frc).

f06 – Linear Algebra Support Functions

The functions in Chapter f16 provide greater functionality than their corresponding functions in Chapter f06. The essential differences are:
1. The order argument. This provides the flexibility to operate on matrix data stored in row or column major order.
2. The addition of the fail argument to trap data errors. The f06 functions used to abort noisily.
3. The enumeration types and members use NAG_ as the prefix. This is to guard against accidental use of non-NAG enums.
4. Scale factors have been introduced in some functions. For example nag_dtrmv (f16pfc) has an extra argument, alpha which was not present in the corresponding old_dtrmv (f06pfc) function.

x[i] = nag_random_continuous_uniform();
New:
/* nag_rand_basic (g05sac) */
nag_rand_basic(n,state,x,&fail);```
The Integer array state in the call to nag_rand_basic (g05sac) contains information on the base generator being used. This array must have been initialized prior to calling nag_rand_basic (g05sac) with a call to either nag_rand_init_repeatable (g05kfc) or nag_rand_init_nonrepeatable (g05kgc). The required length of the array state will depend on the base generator chosen during initialization. Due to changes in the underlying code the sequence of values produced by nag_rand_basic (g05sac) is likely to be different from those produced by nag_random_continuous_uniform (g05cac).

/* nag_rand_init_repeatable (g05kfc) */
nag_rand_init_repeatable(genid,subid,seed,lseed,state,&lstate,&fail);```
The Integer array state in the call to nag_rand_init_repeatable (g05kfc) contains information on the base generator being used. The base generator is chosen via the integer arguments genid and subid. The required length of the array state depends on the base generator chosen. Due to changes in the underlying code a sequence of values produced by using a random number generator initialized via a call to nag_rand_init_repeatable (g05kfc) is likely to be different from a sequence produced by a generator initialized by nag_random_init_repeatable (g05cbc), even if the same value for i is used.

nag_rand_init_nonrepeatable(genid,subid,state,&lstate,&fail);```
The Integer array state in the call to nag_rand_init_nonrepeatable (g05kgc) contains information on the base generator being used. The base generator is chosen via the integer arguments genid and subid. The required length of the array state depends on the base generator chosen.

The first element of the state array contains the number of elements that are used by the random number generating functions, therefore either this number of elements can be copied, or the whole array (as defined in the calling program).

nag_restore_random_state (g05cgc)

The first element of the state array contains the number of elements that are used by the random number generating functions, therefore either this number of elements can be copied, or the whole array (as defined in the calling program).

nag_random_continuous_uniform_ab (g05dac)

Replaced by nag_rand_uniform (g05sqc).
```Old:

b = (aa < bb) ? bb : aa;

/* nag_rand_uniform (g05sqc) */
nag_rand_uniform(n,a,b,state,x,&fail);```
The old function nag_random_continuous_uniform_ab (g05dac) returns a single variate at a time, whereas the new function nag_rand_uniform (g05sqc) returns a vector of n values in one go. In nag_rand_uniform (g05sqc) the minimum value must be held in the argument a and the maximum in argument b, therefore ${\mathbf{a}}<{\mathbf{b}}$. This was not the case for the equivalent arguments in nag_random_continuous_uniform_ab (g05dac).
The Integer array state in the call to nag_rand_uniform (g05sqc) contains information on the base generator being used. This array must have been initialized prior to calling nag_rand_uniform (g05sqc) with a call to either nag_rand_init_repeatable (g05kfc) or nag_rand_init_nonrepeatable (g05kgc). The required length of the array state will depend on the base generator chosen during initialization.

The old function nag_random_exp (g05dbc) returns a single variate at a time, whereas the new function nag_rand_exp (g05sfc) returns a vector of n values in one go. In nag_rand_exp (g05sfc) argument a must be non-negative, this was not the case for the equivalent argument in nag_random_exp (g05dbc).
The Integer array state in the call to nag_rand_exp (g05sfc) contains information on the base generator being used. This array must have been initialized prior to calling nag_rand_exp (g05sfc) with a call to either nag_rand_init_repeatable (g05kfc) or nag_rand_init_nonrepeatable (g05kgc). The required length of the array state will depend on the base generator chosen during initialization.

nag_rand_normal(n,xmu,var,state,x,&fail);```
The old function nag_random_normal (g05ddc) returns a single variate at a time, whereas the new function nag_rand_normal (g05skc) returns a vector of n values in one go. nag_rand_normal (g05skc) expects the variance of the Normal distribution (argument var), compared to nag_random_normal (g05ddc) which expected the standard deviation.
The Integer array state in the call to nag_rand_normal (g05skc) contains information on the base generator being used. This array must have been initialized prior to calling nag_rand_normal (g05skc) with a call to either nag_rand_init_repeatable (g05kfc) or nag_rand_init_nonrepeatable (g05kgc). The required length of the array state will depend on the base generator chosen during initialization. Due to changes in the underlying code the sequence of values produced by nag_rand_normal (g05skc) is likely to be different from those produced by nag_random_normal (g05ddc).

The old function nag_random_discrete_uniform (g05dyc) returns a single variate at a time, whereas the new function nag_rand_discrete_uniform (g05tlc) returns a vector of n values in one go. In nag_rand_discrete_uniform (g05tlc) the minimum value must be held in the argument a and the maximum in argument b, therefore ${\mathbf{a}}\le {\mathbf{b}}$. This was not the case for the equivalent arguments in nag_random_discrete_uniform (g05dyc).
The Integer array state in the call to nag_rand_discrete_uniform (g05tlc) contains information on the base generator being used. This array must have been initialized prior to calling nag_rand_discrete_uniform (g05tlc) with a call to either nag_rand_init_repeatable (g05kfc) or nag_rand_init_nonrepeatable (g05kgc). The required length of the array state will depend on the base generator chosen during initialization. Due to changes in the underlying code the sequence of values produced by nag_rand_discrete_uniform (g05tlc) is likely to be different from those produced by nag_random_discrete_uniform (g05dyc).

/* nag_rand_matrix_multi_normal (g05rzc) */
nag_rand_matrix_multi_normal(order,mode,n,m,a,c,tdc,r,lr,
state,x,pdx,&fail);```
The old function nag_ref_vec_multi_normal (g05eac) sets up a reference vector for use by nag_return_multi_normal (g05ezc). The functionality of both these functions has been combined into the single new function nag_rand_matrix_multi_normal (g05rzc). Setting ${\mathbf{mode}}=\mathrm{Nag_InitializeReference}$ in the call to nag_rand_matrix_multi_normal (g05rzc) only sets up the double reference vector r and hence mimics the functionality of nag_ref_vec_multi_normal (g05eac).
The length of the double reference vector, r, in nag_rand_matrix_multi_normal (g05rzc) must be at least ${\mathbf{m}}×\left({\mathbf{m}}+1\right)+1$. In contrast to the equivalent argument in nag_ref_vec_multi_normal (g05eac), this array must be allocated in the calling program.

nag_ref_vec_poisson (g05ecc)

The old function nag_ref_vec_poisson (g05ecc) sets up a reference vector for use by nag_return_discrete (g05eyc). The replacement function nag_rand_poisson (g05tjc) is now used to both set up a reference vector and generate the required variates. Setting ${\mathbf{mode}}=\mathrm{Nag_InitializeReference}$ in the call to nag_rand_poisson (g05tjc) sets up the double reference vector r and hence mimics the functionality of nag_ref_vec_poisson (g05ecc). Setting ${\mathbf{mode}}=\mathrm{Nag_GenerateFromReference}$ generates a series of variates from a reference vector mimicking the functionality of nag_return_discrete (g05eyc) for this particular distribution. Setting ${\mathbf{mode}}=\mathrm{Nag_InitializeAndGenerate}$ initializes the reference vector and generates the variates in one go.
The function nag_return_discrete (g05eyc) returns a single variate at a time, whereas the new function nag_rand_poisson (g05tjc) returns a vector of n values in one go.
The length of the double reference vector, r, in nag_rand_poisson (g05tjc), must be allocated in the calling program in contrast to the equivalent argument in nag_ref_vec_poisson (g05ecc), see the documentation for more details.
The Integer array state in the call to nag_rand_poisson (g05tjc) contains information on the base generator being used. This array must have been initialized prior to calling nag_rand_poisson (g05tjc) with a call to either nag_rand_init_repeatable (g05kfc) or nag_rand_init_nonrepeatable (g05kgc).

Setting ${\mathbf{mode}}=\mathrm{Nag_InitializeAndGenerate}$ initializes the reference vector and generates the variates in one go.
The function nag_return_discrete (g05eyc) returns a single variate at a time, whereas the new function nag_rand_binomial (g05tac) returns a vector of n values in one go.
The length of the double reference vector, r, in nag_rand_binomial (g05tac), needs to be a different length from the equivalent argument in nag_ref_vec_binomial (g05edc), see the documentation for more details.
The Integer array state in the call to nag_rand_binomial (g05tac) contains information on the base generator being used. This array must have been initialized prior to calling nag_rand_binomial (g05tac) with a call to either nag_rand_init_repeatable (g05kfc) or nag_rand_init_nonrepeatable (g05kgc).

The replacement function nag_rand_gen_discrete (g05tdc) is now used to both set up a reference vector and generate the required variates. Setting ${\mathbf{mode}}=\mathrm{Nag_InitializeReference}$ in the call to nag_rand_gen_discrete (g05tdc) sets up the double reference vector r and hence mimics the functionality of nag_ref_vec_discrete_pdf_cdf (g05exc). Setting ${\mathbf{mode}}=\mathrm{Nag_GenerateFromReference}$ generates a series of variates from a reference vector mimicking the functionality of nag_return_discrete (g05eyc) for this particular distribution. Setting ${\mathbf{mode}}=\mathrm{Nag_InitializeAndGenerate}$ initializes the reference vector and generates the variates in one go.
The function nag_return_discrete (g05eyc) returns a single variate at a time, whereas the new function nag_rand_gen_discrete (g05tdc) returns a vector of n values in one go.
The length of the double reference vector, r, in nag_rand_gen_discrete (g05tdc) must be allocated in the calling program in contrast to the equivalent argument in nag_ref_vec_discrete_pdf_cdf (g05exc), see the documentation for more details.
The Integer array state in the call to nag_rand_gen_discrete (g05tdc) contains information on the base generator being used. This array must have been initialized prior to calling nag_rand_gen_discrete (g05tdc) with a call to either nag_rand_init_repeatable (g05kfc) or nag_rand_init_nonrepeatable (g05kgc). The required length of the array state will depend on the base generator chosen during initialization. Due to changes in the underlying code the sequence of values produced by nag_rand_gen_discrete (g05tdc) is likely to be different from those produced by a combination of nag_ref_vec_discrete_pdf_cdf (g05exc) and nag_return_discrete (g05eyc).

nag_return_discrete (g05eyc)

Scheduled for withdrawal at Mark 24.
Replaced by nag_rand_gen_discrete (g05tdc).
There is no direct replacement function for nag_return_discrete (g05eyc).
nag_return_discrete (g05eyc) is designed to generate random draws from a distribution defined by a reference vector. These reference vectors are created by other functions in Chapter g05, for example nag_ref_vec_poisson (g05ecc), which have themselves been superseded. In order to replace a call to nag_return_discrete (g05eyc) you must identify which NAG function generated the reference vector being used and look up its replacement. For example, to replace a call to nag_return_discrete (g05eyc) preceded by a call to nag_ref_vec_discrete_pdf_cdf (g05exc), as in:
```     /* nag_ref_vec_discrete_pdf_cdf (g05exc) */
nag_ref_vec_discrete_pdf_cdf(p,np,sizep,distf,&r,&fail);
/* nag_return_discrete (g05eyc) */
x = nag_return_discrete(r);```
you would need to look at the replacement function for nag_ref_vec_discrete_pdf_cdf (g05exc).

nag_return_multi_normal (g05ezc)

Scheduled for withdrawal at Mark 24.
Replaced by nag_rand_matrix_multi_normal (g05rzc).

/* nag_rand_matrix_multi_normal (g05rzc) */
nag_rand_matrix_multi_normal(order,mode,n,m,a,c,tdc,r,lr,
state,x,pdx,&fail);```
The old function nag_ref_vec_multi_normal (g05eac) sets up a reference vector for use by nag_return_multi_normal (g05ezc). The functionality of both these functions has been combined into the single new function nag_rand_matrix_multi_normal (g05rzc). Setting ${\mathbf{mode}}=\mathrm{Nag_InitializeAndGenerate}$ in the call to nag_rand_matrix_multi_normal (g05rzc) sets up the double reference vector r and generates the draws from the multivariate Normal distribution in one go.
The old function nag_return_multi_normal (g05ezc) returns a single (m-dimensional vector) draw from the multivariate Normal distribution at a time, whereas the new function nag_rand_matrix_multi_normal (g05rzc) returns an n by m matrix of n draws in one go.
The Integer array state in the call to nag_rand_matrix_multi_normal (g05rzc) contains information on the base generator being used. This array must have been initialized prior to calling nag_rand_matrix_multi_normal (g05rzc) with a call to either nag_rand_init_repeatable (g05kfc) or nag_rand_init_nonrepeatable (g05kgc). The required length of the array state will depend on the base generator chosen during initialization. Due to changes in the underlying code the sequence of values produced by nag_rand_matrix_multi_normal (g05rzc) is likely to be different from those produced by nag_return_multi_normal (g05ezc).
