Generating gamma-random numbers in IDL [message #29488] Mon, 25 February 2002 09:11

Hi all.

I'm trying to generate 'pseudo'-random numbers according with a gamma
distribution (i.e. with two parameters, alfa and beta). As far as I know, I
can just generate random numbers which follow any kind of the less-general
exponential distribution (althought in the help is called 'gamma'
RANDOMN(seed,GAMMA=2).

Is there any function to do this or any published code?

Thank you in advance

David
