Description
Hi, when compiling for 64-bit ARM (arm64_v8a), ibeta_inv(alpha, beta, x) produces
boost::exception_detail::clone_impl >: Error in function boost::math::ibeta(long double, long double, long double): Root finding evaluation exceeded 200 iterations, giving up now.
when either alpha or beta are smaller than about 3e-3. For other target processors I've tried (arm_v7a, x86, x86_64) this works fine.
I've now hacked up my own custom root finder for these cases which converges in just a few iterations. My code's certainly not up to boost standards, but I'm happy to share it as a starting point if someone wants to use it to improve the ibeta_inv root finder in this regard.
Though I suspect that something else is going on here - the bug may be indicative of some deeper numerical issues on arm64_v8a?
