LogGamma — The exponential of a gamma-distributed variable

Usage

LogGamma(a: Double, b: Double) → Distribution<Double>

Arguments

a:

Shape parameter of the distribution of log(X)

b:

Scale parameter of the distribution of log(X)

Description

For X drawn from LogGamma(a,b), log(X) has a Gamma distribution with shape a and scale b (not rate). Thus X > 1; the mean and variance of log(X) are a*b and a*b^2.
