Gamma Distribution

Description

Gamma distribution with shape parameter \alpha and rate parameter \beta.

Usage

expValGamma(shape, rate = 1/scale, scale = 1/rate)

varGamma(shape, rate = 1/scale, scale = 1/rate)

kthMomentGamma(k, shape, rate = 1/scale, scale = 1/rate)

expValLimGamma(d, shape, rate = 1/scale, scale = 1/rate)

expValTruncGamma(d, shape, rate = 1/scale, scale = 1/rate, less.than.d = TRUE)

stopLossGamma(d, shape, rate = 1/scale, scale = 1/rate)

meanExcessGamma(d, shape, rate = 1/scale, scale = 1/rate)

VatRGamma(kap, shape, rate = 1/scale, scale = 1/rate)

TVatRGamma(kap, shape, rate = 1/scale, scale = 1/rate)

mgfGamma(t, shape, rate = 1/scale, scale = 1/rate)

Arguments

shape	shape parameter \alpha, must be positive.
rate	rate parameter \beta, must be positive.
scale	alternative parameterization to the rate parameter, scale = 1 / rate.
k	kth-moment.
d	cut-off value.
less.than.d	logical; if TRUE (default) truncated mean for values <= d, otherwise, for values > d.
kap	probability.
t	t.

Details

The Gamma distribution with shape parameter \alpha and rate parameter \beta has density:

f\left(x\right) = \frac{\beta^{\alpha}}{\Gamma(\alpha)} x^{\alpha - 1}% \textrm{e}^{-\beta x}

for x \in \mathcal{R}^+, \beta, \alpha > 0.

Value

Function :

• expValGamma gives the expected value.

• varGamma gives the variance.

• kthMomentGamma gives the kth moment.

• expValLimGamma gives the limited mean.

• expValTruncGamma gives the truncated mean.

• stopLossGamma gives the stop-loss.

• meanExcessGamma gives the mean excess loss.

• VatRGamma gives the Value-at-Risk.

• TVatRGamma gives the Tail Value-at-Risk.

• mgfGamma gives the moment generating function (MGF).

Invalid parameter values will return an error detailing which parameter is problematic.

Note

Function VatRGamma is a wrapper for the qgamma function stats package.
