About stdlib...

We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.

The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.

When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.

To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

Inverse Gamma

Inverse gamma distribution.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/stats-base-dists-invgamma

Usage

var invgamma = require( '@stdlib/stats-base-dists-invgamma' );

invgamma

Inverse gamma distribution.

var dist = invgamma;
// returns {...}

The namespace contains the following distribution functions:

• cdf( x, alpha, beta ): inverse Gamma distribution cumulative distribution function.
• logpdf( x, alpha, beta ): evaluate the natural logarithm of the probability density function (PDF) for an inverse gamma distribution.
• pdf( x, alpha, beta ): inverse gamma distribution probability density function (PDF).
• quantile( p, alpha, beta ): inverse gamma distribution quantile function.

The namespace contains the following functions for calculating distribution properties:

• entropy( alpha, beta ): inverse gamma distribution differential entropy.
• kurtosis( alpha, beta ): inverse gamma distribution excess kurtosis.
• mean( alpha, beta ): inverse gamma distribution expected value.
• mode( alpha, beta ): inverse gamma distribution mode.
• skewness( alpha, beta ): inverse gamma distribution skewness.
• stdev( alpha, beta ): inverse gamma distribution standard deviation.
• variance( alpha, beta ): inverse gamma distribution variance.

The namespace contains a constructor function for creating a inverse gamma distribution object.

• InvGamma( [alpha, beta] ): inverse gamma distribution constructor.

var InvGamma = require( '@stdlib/stats-base-dists-invgamma' ).InvGamma;

var dist = new InvGamma( 2.0, 4.0 );

var y = dist.cdf( 0.5 );
// returns ~0.003

Examples

var objectKeys = require( '@stdlib/utils-keys' );
var invgamma = require( '@stdlib/stats-base-dists-invgamma' );

console.log( objectKeys( invgamma ) );
