Find gamma distribution parameters to match a point estimate and confidence interval

Description

Find gamma distribution parameters to match a point estimate and confidence interval

Usage

fit_gamma_distribution(
  mean,
  lower,
  upper,
  confidence_level = 0.95,
  gamma_shape_range = c(0, 1000)
)

Arguments

mean	The point estimate
lower	The lower confidence limit
upper	The upper confidence limit
confidence_level	The coverage probability of the confidence interval
gamma_shape_range	The range of gamma (shape) parameter values to search over (if insufficient, an error will be produced).

Value

a vector containing the estimated shape and scale parameters
