GenrandGam() Function GenrandGam ( Optional Alpha As  Double = 1, Optional Beta As  Double = 1  ) 53 bit real gamma random number (Squeeze method of Marsaglia and Tsang) (Mersenne Twister) Purpose Generates random numbers following gamma distribution Γ(α, β). An uniform random number is generated by the Mersenne Twister random number generator GenrandRes53(). Then it is transformed to the gamma random number by the squeeze method of Marsaglia and Tsang. Returns Double 53 bit real gamma random number. If Alpha or Beta is not valid, 0 will be returned. Parameters [in] Alpha (Optional) The shape parameter α of the gamma distribution Γ(α, β). (α > 0) (default = 1) [in] Beta (Optional) The rate parameter β of the gamma distribution Γ(α, β). (β > 0) (default = 1) Note Same as using GenrandRes53(). See GenrandRes53() for more details.
