Abstract
Algorithm 708 (BRATIO) was run on 2730 test cases. Comparison of these results with the results from an algorithm using a continued fraction of Tretter and Walster were performed using a high-precision version of the latter algorithm implemented in Maple. Accuracy of BRATIO range d from 9.64 significant digits to full machine double-precision, 15.65 significant digits, with the lower value occurring when a was nearly equal to b, and a was large.
