Density, distribution function, quantile function and random generation for the Gamma distribution with shape, rate and other parameters inherited from the stats package. One additional parameter, shift is provided to generate Gamma distributions with non-zero starts, starting at the shift value.

Usage

dgamma(x, shape, rate = 1, shift = 0, ...)

pgamma(q, shape, rate = 1, shift = 0, lower.tail = TRUE, ...)

rgamma(n, shape, rate = 1, shift = 0, ...)

qgamma(p, shape, rate = 1, shift = 0, lower.tail = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

x

numeric vector of quantiles

shape

shape parameter of gamma distribution

rate

rate parameter of gamma distribution, default 1

shift

shift of the left end of the distribution

...

additional parameters to be passed to stats::dgamma, stats::pgamma, stats::qgamma and stats::rgamma

q

numeric vector of quantiles

lower.tail

logical; if TRUE (default), probabilities are \(P[X \le x]\), otherwise, \(P[X > x]\).

n

number of observations

p

vector of probabilities

Value

density of distribution

distribution function

random deviates

quantile
