To calculate the gamma distribution in MATLAB, you can use the gampdf
and gamcdf
functions.
The gampdf
function computes the probability density function (PDF) of the gamma distribution, given its shape parameter a
and scale parameter b
. The PDF of the gamma distribution is defined as follows:
where x is the random variable, a and b are the shape and scale parameters respectively, and Γ is the gamma function.
Here's an example code snippet that calculates the gamma PDF for various values of a
and b
, and plots the results:

The gamcdf
function computes the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the gamma distribution, given its shape parameter a
, scale parameter b
, and upper endpoint x
. The CDF of the gamma distribution is defined as follows:
Here's an example code snippet that calculates the gamma CDF for various values of a
, b
, and x
, and plots the results:
