Generates gamma distribution cumulative density function values at specified locations.

Syntax

CDF = GammaCDF(Points, a, b)

Arguments

Name

Description

 

Points

A scalar, vector, or matrix of positive data points at which the cumulative density function is to be evaluated. The output is 0 for negative values.

 

a

Shape parameter. A positive scalar. See Comments.

 

b

Scale parameter. A positive scalar. See Comments.

Outputs

Name

Description

 

CDF

A scalar, vector, or matrix of the cumulative density function values at the given points. The same size as Points.

Example 1

Find the gamma cumulative density function at points 1, 3, and 8 with parameters a = 2 and b = 5.

 

Syntax

 

cdf = GammaCDF([1,3,8],2,5)

 

Results

 

cdf = 0.017523    0.1219    0.47507

Comments

The form of distribution function is such that the mean is a*b.
