find_gamma_parameters: Get the shape and rate parameter of a gamma distribution...

In pspc-data-science/branchsim: Gamma negative binomial branching process simulation of epidemics

Description

Get the shape and rate parameter of a gamma distribution given an integration interval and mean.

Usage

find_gamma_parameters(m = 5.5, a = 0, b = 11.5, int_value = 0.975)

Arguments

m	The mean of the gamma distribution.
a	The lower limit of integration. Default is a=0
b	The upper limit of intefration. Default is b=11.5
int_value	The confidence level \int_a^b f(x)\,dx = int_value. Default is int_value = .975
P	The parameter of the logarithmic distribution for the number of infected during an event. Default p=0.5

Value

The shape and rate parameters of the gamma distribution.
