|
* Returns a random number drawn from an inverse gamma distribution.
|
||
|
*
|
||
|
* ## Method
|
||
|
*
|
||
|
* When
|
||
|
*
|
||
|
* ```tex
|
||
|
* X \sim \operatorname{Gamma}( \alpha, \beta )
|
||
|
* ```
|
||
|
*
|
||
|
* then
|
||
|
*
|
||
|
* ```tex
|
||
|
* \frac{1}{X} \sim \operatorname{InvGamma}\left( \alpha, \tfrac{1}{beta} \right)
|
||
|
* ```
|
||
|
*
|
||
|
* Hence, to generate a draw from an inverse gamma distribution with parameters \\( \alpha \\) and \\( \beta \\), sample `X` from a \\( \operatorname{Gamma}\left( \alpha, \tfrac{1}{\beta} \right) \\) distribution and return `1/X`.

* @name invgamma
|

|
* @type {PRNG}
|
||
|
* @param {PositiveNumber} alpha - shape parameter
|
||
|
* @param {PositiveNumber} beta - scale parameter
|
||
|
* @returns {number} pseudorandom number
|
||
|
*
|
||
|
* @example
|
||
|
* var v = invgamma( 2.0, 1.0 );
|
||
|
* // returns <number>
|
||
|
*
|
||
|
* @example
|
||
|
* var v = invgamma( -2.0, 5.0 );
|
||
|
* // returns NaN
