.SH NAME
cdfgam - cumulative distribution function gamma distribution 
.SH CALLING SEQUENCE
.nf
[P,Q]=cdfgam("PQ",X,Shape,Scale)
[X]=cdfgam("X",Shape,Scale,P,Q)
[Shape]=cdfgam("Shape",Scale,P,Q,X)
[Scale]=cdfgam("Scale",P,Q,X,Shape)

.SH PARAMETERS
.TP 10
P,Q,X,Shape,Scale
: five real vectors of the same size.
.TP
P,Q (Q=1-P)
  The integral from 0 to X of the gamma density.
Input range: [0,1].
.TP
X
:  The upper limit of integration of the gamma density.
Input range: [0, +infinity).
Search range: [0,1E300]
.TP
Shape
:  The shape parameter of the gamma density.
Input range: (0, +infinity).
Search range: [1E-300,1E300]
.TP
Scale
:  The scale parameter of the gamma density.
Input range: (0, +infinity).
Search range: (1E-300,1E300]
.SH DESCRIPTION
Calculates any one parameter of the gamma
distribution given values for the others.
.LP
Cumulative distribution function (P) is calculated directly by
the code associated with:
.LP
DiDinato, A. R. and Morris, A. H. Computation of the  incomplete
gamma function  ratios  and their  inverse.   ACM  Trans.  Math.
Softw. 12 (1986), 377-393.
.LP
Computation of other parameters involve a seach for a value that
produces  the desired  value  of P.   The search relies  on  the
monotinicity of P with the other parameter.
.LP
The gamma density is proportional to
\fVT**(SHAPE - 1) * EXP(- SCALE * T)\fR
