to_mu_sd_gamma: Parameter Conversion for Gamma Distribution
Description
The function to_mu_sd_gamma converts the shape and rate to the mean and standard deviation
Usage
to_mu_sd_gamma(alpha, lambda)
Value
a list of two items
mu
a vector of the means of gamma distributions
sd
a vector of the standard deviations of gamma distributions
Arguments
alpha
a numeric vector representing the shape of one or more than one gamma distributions
lambda
a numeric vector representing the rate of one or more than one gamma distributions.
alpha and lambda should have the same length.
Details
The purpose of this function is to convert the parameterization of gamma distribution in the form of
shape and rate to the form of mean and standard deviation.
