where is the Gamma function. A distribution
with degrees of freedom corresponds to the distribution
. The parameter is a scale parameter. The
one-parameter gamma distribution corresponds to . A
sample from can be obtained by taking a sample from
and dividing it by . Note, that a gamma distribution
has and
