Gamma Distribution

These functions provide the ability for generating probability density values, cumulative probability density values and moment about zero values for Gamma Distribution bounded between [0,1].

dGAMMA(p,c,l)

Arguments

p	vector of probabilities.
c	single value for shape parameter c.
l	single value for shape parameter l.

Value

The output of dGAMMA gives a list format consisting

pdf probability density values in vector form.

mean mean of the Gamma distribution.

var variance of Gamma distribution.

Details

The probability density function and cumulative density function of a unit bounded Gamma distribution with random variable P are given by

$$g_{P}(p) = \frac{ c^l p^{c-1}}{\gamma(l)} [ln(1/p)]^{l-1} $$ ; $0 \le p \le 1$ $$G_{P}(p) = \frac{ Ig(l,cln(1/p))}{\gamma(l)} $$ ; $0 \le p \le 1$ $$l,c > 0$$

The mean the variance are denoted by $$E[P] = (\frac{c}{c+1})^l $$ $$var[P] = (\frac{c}{c+2})^l - (\frac{c}{c+1})^{2l} $$

The moments about zero is denoted as $$E[P^r]=(\frac{c}{c+r})^l $$ $r = 1,2,3,...$

Defined as $\gamma(l) $ is the gamma function Defined as $Ig(l,cln(1/p))= \int_0^{cln(1/p)} t^{l-1} e^{-t}dt $ is the Lower incomplete gamma function

NOTE : If input parameters are not in given domain conditions necessary error messages will be provided to go further.
