dist_gamma function

Gamma distribution

See stats::GammaDist .

dist_gamma(shape = NULL, rate = NULL)

Arguments

• shape: Scalar shape parameter, or NULL as a placeholder.
• rate: Scalar rate parameter, or NULL as a placeholder.

Returns

A GammaDistribution object.

Details

Both parameters can be overridden with with_params = list(shape = ..., rate = ...).

Examples

alpha <- 2
beta <- 2

d_gamma <- dist_gamma(shape = alpha, rate = beta)
x <- d_gamma$sample(100)
d_emp <- dist_empirical(x, positive = TRUE)

plot_distributions(
  empirical = d_emp,
  theoretical = d_gamma,
  estimated = d_gamma,
  with_params = list(
    estimated = inflate_params(
      fitdistrplus::fitdist(x, distr = "gamma")$estimate
    )
  ),
  .x = seq(1e-3, max(x), length.out = 100)
)
