randGamma
creates a random sequence distributed according to the Gamma probability density function:
\[\begin{split}f(x) = \left\{ \begin{array}{lr} \frac{1}{\Gamma\left(\alpha\right)} \beta^\alpha x^{\alpha - 1} \exp\left(- \beta x\right) & , \ x > 0 \\ 0 & , \ x \le 0 \end{array} \right.\end{split}\]where \(\alpha,\beta > 0\), \(\alpha / \beta\) is the mean, \(\sqrt{\alpha} / \beta\) is the standard deviation, and
\[\Gamma\left(x\right) = \int_0^\infty dt \ t^{x-1} \exp\left(-t\right)\]is the gamma function.
sigma (float)
The standard deviation.
mean (float)
The mean.
seed (integer)
Random number seed.
numberSequence (code block, optional)
<NAFunc numberSequence>
is an NAFunc code block that generates a random number; if not
specified, Vorpal’s default random number generator
(uniform in [0,1)) will be used to generate the initial random
number.
