rvgamma | R Documentation |
Generates random variables from a Gamma sampling model.
rvgamma(n = 1, shape, rate = 1, scale = 1/rate)
n |
integer: number of variables to generate |
shape |
shape parameter, may be a rv |
rate |
rate parameter, may be a rv |
scale |
inverse of rate, may be specified optionally instead of rate |
rvngamma(n, shape, rate)
is equivalent to rvgamma(n, 1/3 +
shape, rate)
.
A random vector (rv object).
