GammaDist

Syntax

GammaDist(Value, Alpha, Beta, Cumulative)

Parameters

Value. The value, for which the distribution must be calculated. The value must satisfy the constraint: Value >=0.

Alpha. Distribution parameter. This value must satisfy the following constraint: Alpha >0.

Beta. Distribution parameter. This value must satisfy the following constraint: Beta >0.

Cumulative. Boolean value that defines function form:

Description

The method returns the gamma distribution.

Comments

This function can be used to study variables that may have a skewed distribution.

Gamma-distribution is usually used in the theory of queues.

If Alpha = 1, the GammaDist function returns the exponential distribution.

If Beta = 1, the GammaDist function returns the standard gamma distribution.
