rgammashift: The centered gamma distribution

In highD2pop: Two-Sample Tests for Equality of Means in High Dimension

Description

Random generation for the Gamma distribution with parameters shape and scale centered so as to have mean zero.

Usage

rgammashift(n, shape, scale)

Arguments

n	number of observations to generate.
shape	shape parameter, must be strictly greater than zero.
scale	scale parameter, must be strictly greater than zero.

Value

a vector of length n of realizations from the centered gamma distribution with shape parameter shape and scale parameter scale.

Examples

## The function is currently defined as
function (n, shape, scale) 
{
    x <- rgamma(n = n, shape = shape, scale = scale) - shape*scale
    return(x)
}


x <- rgammashift(500,4,2)

plot(density(x))
