I need a trivial confirm: given a Gamma distribution with shape = alpha and rate = beta I need to evaluate the p_th percentile. For the 10th percentile of a Gamma(12.51, 1.41), for example, it would simply be pgamma(10, 12.51, 1.41) Correct? Why pgamma(q, 12.51, 1.41) for q greater than 30 always gives as result 1? thank you Stefano |
