    About stdlib...
  </summary>
  <p>We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.</p>
  <p>The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.</p>
  <p>When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.</p>
  <p>To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on <a href="https://github.com/stdlib-js/stdlib">GitHub</a>, and please consider <a href="https://opencollective.com/stdlib">financially supporting stdlib</a>. We greatly appreciate your continued support!</p>

<section class="installation">

## Installation

```bash
npm install @stdlib/stats-base-dists-gumbel-logpdf
```

</section>

<section class="usage">

## Usage

```javascript
var logpdf = require( '@stdlib/stats-base-dists-gumbel-logpdf' );
```

#### logpdf( x, mu, beta )

Evaluates the logarithm of the [probability density function][pdf] (PDF) for a [Gumbel][gumbel-distribution] distribution with parameters `mu` (location parameter) and `beta > 0` (scale parameter).

```javascript
var y = logpdf( 0.0, 0.0, 2.0 );
// returns ~-1.693

y = logpdf( 0.0, 0.0, 1.0 );
// returns ~-1

y = logpdf( 1.0, 3.0, 2.0 );
// returns ~-2.411
```

If provided `NaN` as any argument, the function returns `NaN`.

```javascript
var y = logpdf( NaN, 0.0, 1.0 );
// returns NaN

y = logpdf( 0.0, NaN, 1.0 );
// returns NaN

y = logpdf( 0.0, 0.0, NaN );
// returns NaN
```

If provided `beta <= 0`, the function returns `NaN`.

```javascript
var y = logpdf( 2.0, 0.0, -1.0 );
// returns NaN

y = logpdf( 2.0, 8.0, 0.0 );
// returns NaN
```

#### logpdf.factory( mu, beta )

Returns a `function` for evaluating the logarithm of the [PDF][pdf] (PDF) for a [Gumbel][gumbel-distribution] distribution with parameters `mu` (location parameter) and `beta > 0` (scale parameter).

```javascript
var mylogpdf = logpdf.factory( 10.0, 2.0 );

var y = mylogpdf( 10.0 );
// returns ~-1.693

y = mylogpdf( 12.0 );
// returns ~-2.061
```

<section class="notes">

## Notes

-   In virtually all cases, using the `logpdf` or `logcdf` functions is preferable to manually computing the logarithm of the `pdf` or `cdf`, respectively, since the latter is prone to overflow and underflow.

<section class="examples">

## Examples

<!-- eslint no-undef: "error" -->

```javascript
var uniform = require( '@stdlib/random-array-uniform' );
var logEachMap = require( '@stdlib/console-log-each-map' );
var logpdf = require( '@stdlib/stats-base-dists-gumbel-logpdf' );

var opts = {
    'dtype': 'float64'
};
var beta = uniform( 100, 0.0, 10.0, opts );
var mu = uniform( 100, 0.0, 10.0, opts );
var x = uniform( 100, 0.0, 10.0, opts );

logEachMap( 'x: %0.4f, µ: %0.4f, β: %0.4f, ln(f(x;µ,β)): %0.4f', x, mu, beta, logpdf );

<section class="usage">

### Usage

```c
#include "stdlib/stats/base/dists/gumbel/logpdf.h"
```

#### stdlib_base_dists_gumbel_logcdf( x, mu, beta )

Evaluates the logarithm of the [probability density function][pdf] (PDF) for a [Gumbel][gumbel-distribution] distribution with parameters `mu` (location parameter) and `beta > 0` (scale parameter).

```c
double out = stdlib_base_dists_gumbel_logpdf( 0.0, 0.0, 2.0 );
// returns ~-1.693
```

The function accepts the following arguments:

-   **x**: `[in] double` input value.
-   **mu**: `[in] double` location parameter.
-   **beta**: `[in] double` scale parameter.

```c
double stdlib_base_dists_gumbel_logpdf( const double x, const double mu, const double beta );
```
