Generate a Gamma Distribution Definition Based on Parameter Estimates

Description

Deprecated; use Gamma() instead to define a gamma distribution.

Usage

gamma_dist_def(
  shape,
  shape_sd,
  scale,
  scale_sd,
  mean,
  mean_sd,
  sd,
  sd_sd,
  max_value,
  samples
)

Arguments

shape	Numeric, shape parameter of the gamma distribution.
shape_sd	Numeric, standard deviation of the shape parameter.
scale	Numeric, scale parameter of the gamma distribution.
scale_sd	Numeric, standard deviation of the scale parameter.
mean	Numeric, log mean parameter of the gamma distribution.
mean_sd	Numeric, standard deviation of the log mean parameter.
sd	Numeric, log sd parameter of the gamma distribution.
sd_sd	Numeric, standard deviation of the log sd parameter.
max_value	Numeric, the maximum value to allow. Defaults to 120. Samples outside of this range are resampled.
samples	Numeric, number of sample distributions to generate.

Value

A ⁠<data.table>⁠ defining the distribution as used by dist_skel()
