     46 ## Usage
     47 
     48 ```javascript
     49 var logcdf = require( '@stdlib/stats/base/dists/gamma/logcdf' );
     50 ```
     51 
     52 #### logcdf( x, alpha, beta )
     53 
     54 Evaluates the natural logarithm of the [cumulative distribution function][cdf] (CDF) for a [gamma][gamma-distribution] distribution with parameters `alpha` (shape parameter) and `beta` (rate parameter).
     55 
     56 ```javascript
     57 var y = logcdf( 2.0, 0.5, 1.0 );
     58 // returns ~-0.047
     59 
     60 y = logcdf( 0.1, 1.0, 1.0 );
     61 // returns ~-2.352
     62 
     63 y = logcdf( -1.0, 4.0, 2.0 );
     64 // returns -Infinity
     65 ```
     66 
     67 If provided `NaN` as any argument, the function returns `NaN`.
     68 
     69 ```javascript
     70 var y = logcdf( NaN, 1.0, 1.0 );
     71 // returns NaN
     72 
     73 y = logcdf( 0.0, NaN, 1.0 );
     74 // returns NaN
     75 
     76 y = logcdf( 0.0, 1.0, NaN );
     77 // returns NaN
     78 ```
     79 
     80 If provided `alpha < 0`, the function returns `NaN`.
     81 
     82 ```javascript
     83 var y = logcdf( 2.0, -0.5, 1.0 );
     84 // returns NaN
     85 ```
     86 
     87 If provided `alpha = 0`, the function evaluates the logarithm of the [CDF][cdf] for a [degenerate distribution][degenerate-distribution] centered at `0`.
     88 
     89 ```javascript
     90 var y = logcdf( 2.0, 0.0, 2.0 );
     91 // returns 0.0
     92 
     93 y = logcdf( -2.0, 0.0, 2.0 );
     94 // returns -Infinity
     95 
     96 y = logcdf( 0.0, 0.0, 2.0 );
     97 // returns 0.0
     98 ```
     99 
    100 If provided `beta <= 0`, the function returns `NaN`.
    101 
    102 ```javascript
    103 var y = logcdf( 2.0, 1.0, 0.0 );
    104 // returns NaN
    105 
    106 y = logcdf( 2.0, 1.0, -1.0 );
    107 // returns NaN
    108 ```
    109 
    110 #### logcdf.factory( alpha, beta )
    111 
    112 Returns a `function` for evaluating the natural logarithm of the [CDF][cdf] for a [gamma][gamma-distribution]  distribution with parameters `alpha` (shape parameter) and `beta` (rate parameter).
    113 
    114 ```javascript
    115 var mylogcdf = logcdf.factory( 3.0, 1.5 );
    116 
    117 var y = mylogcdf( 1.0 );
    118 // returns ~-1.655
    119 
    120 y = mylogcdf( 4.0 );
    121 // returns ~-0.064
    122 ```
