Description

Draw a random sample from a Gamma distribution

Usage

# S3 method for Gamma
random(x, n = 1L, drop = TRUE, ...)

Value

In case of a single distribution object or n = 1, either a numeric vector of length n (if drop = TRUE, default) or a matrix with n columns (if drop = FALSE).

Arguments

x

A Gamma object created by a call to Gamma().

n

The number of samples to draw. Defaults to 1L.

drop

logical. Should the result be simplified to a vector if possible?

...

Unused. Unevaluated arguments will generate a warning to catch mispellings or other possible errors.

Examples

set.seed(27)

X <- Gamma(5, 2)

cdf(X, quantile(X, 0.7))
quantile(X, cdf(X, 7))
