Syntax and semantics

randomGamma (shape, rate)

generate a random number from a Gamma distribution with shape parameter shape and rate parameter rate, which is defined as the probability density function f(x; shape, rate) = (1 / Γ (shape)) rateshape x^shape−1 e^{−rate x}, for x > 0, shape > 0 and rate > 0, according to the method by Marsaglia & Tsang (2000).
