Struct probability::distribution::Gamma

pub struct Gamma { /* fields omitted */ }

A gamma distribution.

Methods

impl Gamma

pub fn new(k: f64, theta: f64) -> Self

Create a gamma distribution with shape parameter k and scale parameter theta.

It should hold that k > 0 and theta > 0.

pub fn k(&self) -> f64

Return the shape parameter.

pub fn theta(&self) -> f64

Return the scale parameter.
