where on the left there mean and variance of gamma distribution and on the right sample mean and sample corrected variance. Solving we can get parameters’ estimates: 2 _ ˆ s x l= 2 _ 2 ˆ s x a= x.gam<-rgamma(200,rate=0.5,shape=3.5) ## sampling from a gamma distribution with l=0.5 (scale parameter12) and a=3.5 (shape parameter)
