gamma3: The gamma Distribution (3 Parameter)

Description

Density function, distribution function and quantile function for the gamma distribution.

Usage

dgamma3(x, shape, scale, threshold)
pgamma3(q, shape, scale, threshold)
qgamma3(p, shape, scale, threshold, ...)

Arguments

x, q

vector of quantiles

p

vector of probabilities

shape

shape parameter by default 1

scale

scale parameter by default 1

threshold

threshold parameter by default 0

...

Arguments that can be passed into uniroot.

Value

dgamma3 gives the density, pgamma3 gives the distribution function and qgamma3 gives the quantile function.

Details

The gamma distribution with ‘scale’ parameter alpha, ‘shape’ parameter c and ‘threshold’ parameter zeta has density given by

f(x) = (c/alpha) (((x-zeta)/alpha)^(c-1)) exp(-((x-zeta)/alpha)^c)

The cumulative distribution function is given by

F(x) = 1 - exp(-((x-zeta)/alpha)^c)
