Maxima Function
random_gamma (a,b)
random_gamma(a,b,n)
Returns a Gamma(a,b) random variate, with a,b>0. Calling random_gamma
with a third argument n, a random sample of size n will be simulated.
There are two algorithms implemented for this function, the one to be used can be selected giving a certain value to the global variable random_gamma_algorithm
, which defaults to ahrens_cheng
.
