In ncg: Computes the noncentral gamma function

Description

Computes the probability density function of the noncentral gamma function:

f(x; α, δ)=∑_{i=0}^∞ \frac{e^{-δ/2}(δ/2)^{i}}{i!}≤ft[\frac{1}{Γ(α+i)}e^{-x} x^{α + i - 1}\right]

where Γ(α) is the central complete gamma function, α>0, δ>0, x≥ 0.

Usage

dgammanc(x, alpha, delta)

Arguments

x	a vector of positive quantiles.
alpha	a vector of the noncentral gamma parameter, alpha > 0.
delta	a vector of the noncentrality parameter, delta > 0.
