Convert normal to gamma

Description

Convert normal to gamma

Usage

norm2gamma(x, shape, rate = 1, scale = 1/rate, mu = mean(x), sd = stats::sd(x))

Arguments

x	the normally distributed vector
shape	gamma distribution parameter (must be positive)
rate	an alternative way to specify the scale
scale	gamma distribution parameter (must be positive)
mu	the mean of x (calculated from x if not given)
sd	the SD of x (calculated from x if not given)

Value

a vector with a gamma distribution

Examples

x <- rnorm(10000)
y <- norm2gamma(x, shape = 2)
g <- ggplot2::ggplot() + ggplot2::geom_point(ggplot2::aes(x, y))
ggExtra::ggMarginal(g, type = "histogram")
