Proposed adding inverse of the digamma function in scipy.special

ENH: special: Add inverse of digamma function by fbourgey · Pull Request #25188 · scipy/scipy · GitHub adds the inverse of the digamma function as a new special function.

Why is it useful?

  • Appears in common statistical estimation problems (Gamma, Beta, Dirichlet)
  • Complement SciPy’s existing digamma API
  • Avoid repeated ad hoc custom implementations

We would like to gather some feedback and reviewer attention.
