 *	Beta function
 *
 *
 *
 * SYNOPSIS:
 *
 * double 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
 *    DEC        0,30        1700       7.7e-15     1.5e-15
 *    IEEE       0,30       30000       8.1e-14     1.1e-14
 *
 * ERROR MESSAGES:
 *
 *   message         condition          value returned
 * beta overflow    log(beta) > MAXLOG       0.0
 *                  a or b <0 integer        0.0
