{{alias}}( [α, β] )
Returns a gamma distribution object.
Parameters
----------
α: number (optional)
Shape parameter. Must be greater than `0`. Default: `1.0`.
β: number (optional)
Rate parameter. Must be greater than `0`. Default: `1.0`.
Returns
-------
gamma: Object
Distribution instance.
gamma.alpha: number
Shape parameter. If set, the value must be greater than `0`.
gamma.beta: number
Rate parameter. If set, the value must be greater than `0`.
gamma.entropy: number
Read-only property which returns the differential entropy.
gamma.kurtosis: number
Read-only property which returns the excess kurtosis.
gamma.mean: number
Read-only property which returns the expected value.
gamma.mode: number
Read-only property which returns the mode.
gamma.skewness: number
Read-only property which returns the skewness.
gamma.stdev: number
Read-only property which returns the standard deviation.
gamma.variance: number
Read-only property which returns the variance.
gamma.cdf: Function
Evaluates the cumulative distribution function (CDF).
gamma.logcdf: Function
Evaluates the natural logarithm of the cumulative distribution function
(CDF).
gamma.logpdf: Function
Evaluates the natural logarithm of the probability density function
(PDF).
gamma.mgf: Function
Evaluates the moment-generating function (MGF).
gamma.pdf: Function
Evaluates the probability density function (PDF).
gamma.quantile: Function
Evaluates the quantile function at probability `p`.
