 *
 *	Beta function
 *
 *
 *
 * SYNOPSIS:
 *
 * float a, b, y, beta();
 *
 * y = beta( a, b );
 *
 *
 *
 * DESCRIPTION:
 *
 *                   -     -
 *                  | (a) | (b)
 * beta( a, b )  =  -----------.
 *                     -
 *                    | (a+b)
 *
 * For large arguments the logarithm of the function is
 * evaluated using lgam(), then exponentiated.
 *
 *
 *
 * ACCURACY:
 *
 *                      Relative error:
 * arithmetic   domain     # trials      peak         rms
 *    IEEE       0,30       10000       4.0e-5      6.0e-6
 *    IEEE       -20,0      10000       4.9e-3      5.4e-5
 *
 * ERROR MESSAGES:
 *
 *   message         condition          value returned
 * beta overflow   log(beta) > MAXLOG       0.0
 *                  a or b <0 integer        0.0
