#Scipy gamma code

Official source code (all platforms) and binaries for. Maybe this could help someone in the future. For each official release of SciPy, we provide source code (tarball), as well as binary wheels for several major platforms (Windows, OSX, Linux). It may not be the most efficient solution but it worked fine for my applications.

I used Sterling's approximation and Newton's method. Here is some code I wrote for a similar problem a few years back. We have the gamma function, which has a fairly elementary form as we all know,

Samples are drawn from a Gamma distribution with specified parameters, shape (sometimes designated k) and scale (sometimes designated theta), where both parameters are > 0. Reading some of the other topics here reminded me of this, and I'd like to hear other people's solutions to this. Demonstration of the issue: In 1: import scipy In 2: scipy.version Out2: 0.13.0.dev-5e5d63f In 3: from scipy.stats import gamma Generate some data: In 4: x gamma.rvs(3, loc0, scale2.5, size50) Fit the data with the s. gamma (shape, scale 1.0, size None) В¶ Draw samples from a Gamma distribution. This is an analysis question I remember thinking about in high school.
