  • Abstract
    Several methods have been proposed for calculating the generalized Q -function Q_{m}(\\alpha , \\beta ) , but only isolated comparisons of the various techniques have been reported. The accuracy, range, and execution time of prominent methods for computing the Q -function are compared, and limitations of the algorithms are identified.
