oneapi::mkl::rng::gamma¶
Generates gamma distributed random values.
Description¶
The oneapi::mkl::rng::gamma class object is used in the oneapi::mkl::rng::generate function to provide random numbers with gamma distribution that has shape parameter α, displacement a, and scale parameter β, where
.
The probability density function is given by:

where Γ(α) is the complete gamma function.
The cumulative distribution function is as follows:
