On an initial scan it seems that most things are fine but the Bessel 'K' function goes a bit strange for large values of X (as you say, values < 20 are OK).

Now fixed, courtesy of the netlib/R code. Allin.

New subject: AW: bessel K function

thank you *so* much!!! this function is much more accurate than my version. Additionaly, I propose to dump my bessel_I function, too. With the attached patch bessel_I for negative orders is calculated using the new besselK function. bessel_I for negative orders can't be calculated with the cephes function, because cephes assumes symmetry around 0 for the order (see code), which is false.

I can't claim credit for the revised version; it comes from the netlib "specfun" repository.

Thanks. I've applied your patch. I've also added (minimal) docmentation for the bessel function. One little refinement: you don't need to quote the first argument. For example, x = bessel(J, 2, 5.6) will do OK. Allin.
