gm.gc {gcKrig}

The Gamma Marginal of Class marginal.gc

Description

The Gamma marginal used for simulation and computing correlation in the trans-Gaussian random field in functions simgc and corrTG of the package gcKrig. It cannot be used in functions mlegc nor predgc to make model inferences.

Usage

gm.gc(shape = 1, rate = 1)

Arguments

shape

a non-negative scalar, shape parameter of the Gamma distribution.

rate

a non-negative scalar, rate parameter of the Gamma distribution.

Details

The Gamma distribution with parameters shape = a and rate = r has density

\frac{r^{a}}{\Gamma(a)} x^{a-1} exp(-rx)

for x \ge 0, a > 0 and s > 0.

Value

An object of class marginal.gc representing the marginal component.
