I have the function of alpha + beta log(gamma((alpha+beta))), I want to calculate the derivative this function with respect to alpha. I need it as a derivative of inverted beta-liouville function with respect to each of its parameters.enter image description here

2$\begingroup$ Can you work with a numerical approximation or do you need the actual analytical solution? If the numerical approximation is OK, doing a (cubic) spline interpolation for example can be much simpler to derive. $\endgroup$– PC1Jun 14 at 15:39

1$\begingroup$ The derivative of digamma is the trigamma function. Use the sum rule and chain rule to complete the solution. $\endgroup$– whuberJun 14 at 15:59

$\begingroup$ You can use JAX to compute the derivatives: jax.readthedocs.io/en/latest/_autosummary/… $\endgroup$– HyperplaneJun 14 at 16:59

$\begingroup$ @PC1 I actually need its general formula not as a values, cause I want to calculate the maximum likelihood with respect to each parameter $\endgroup$– user13612169Jun 14 at 18:42
