Represents the Gamma distribution.

Namespace: Extreme.Statistics.Distributions
Assembly: Extreme.Numerics.Net40 (in Extreme.Numerics.Net40.dll) Version: 4.2.11333.0 (4.2.12253.0)

Syntax

C#
[SerializableAttribute] public class GammaDistribution : ContinuousDistribution

Visual Basic (Declaration)
<SerializableAttribute> _ Public Class GammaDistribution _ Inherits ContinuousDistribution

Visual C++
[SerializableAttribute] public ref class GammaDistribution : public ContinuousDistribution

F#
[<SerializableAttribute>] type GammaDistribution = class inherit ContinuousDistribution end

Remarks

The Gamma distribution of order a > 0 is defined by: probability(x) = {1 / Gamma(a) scale^a} x^{a-1} exp{-x/scale} with x > 0. The value scale is called the scale parameter. If X and Y are independent gamma-distributed random variables of order a1 and a2 with the same scale parameter scale, then X+Y has gamma distribution of order a1+a2.
