pGAMMA {fitODBOD}

Gamma Distribution

Description

These functions provide the ability for generating probability density values, cumulative probability density values and moment about zero values for Gamma Distribution bounded between [0,1].

Usage

pGAMMA(p,c,l)

Arguments

p

vector of probabilities.

c

single value for shape parameter c.

l

single value for shape parameter l.

Details

The probability density function and cumulative density function of a unit bounded Gamma distribution with random variable P are given by

g_{P}(p) = \frac{ c^l p^{c-1}}{\gamma(l)} [ln(1/p)]^{l-1}

; 0 \le p \le 1

G_{P}(p) = \frac{ Ig(l,cln(1/p))}{\gamma(l)}

; 0 \le p \le 1

l,c > 0

The mean the variance are denoted by

E[P] = (\frac{c}{c+1})^l

var[P] = (\frac{c}{c+2})^l - (\frac{c}{c+1})^{2l}

The moments about zero is denoted as

E[P^r]=(\frac{c}{c+r})^l

r = 1,2,3,...

Defined as \gamma(l) is the gamma function. Defined as Ig(l,cln(1/p))= \int_0^{cln(1/p)} t^{l-1} e^{-t}dt is the Lower incomplete gamma function.

NOTE : If input parameters are not in given domain conditions necessary error messages will be provided to go further.

Value

The output of pGAMMA gives the cumulative density values in vector form.
