digamma() function in R Language is used to calculate the logarithmic derivative of the gamma value calculated using the gamma function. digamma Function is basically,
digamma(x) = d(ln(factorial(n-1)))/dx
Syntax: digamma(x) Parameters: x: Numeric vector
Example 1: Python3 1==
# R program to find logarithmic derivative 
# of the gamma value

# Calling the digamma() Function
digamma(2)
digamma(4)
digamma(5.2)
Output:
[1] 0.4227843
[1] 1.256118
[1] 1.549434
Example 2: Python3 1==
# R program to find logarithmic derivative 
# of the gamma value

# Creating a vector
x <- c(2.3, 3, 1.2)

# Calling the digamma() Function
digamma(x)

# Calling digamma() function
# on negative values
digamma(-2.3)
digamma(-2)
Output:
[1]  0.6000399  0.9227843 -0.2890399
[1] 3.317323
[1] NaN
Warning message:
In digamma(-2) : NaNs produced
