GAMMA
Formulas / GAMMAReturn the gamma function value.
=GAMMA(number)
- x - required, the value at which the distribution is evaluated
- alpha - required, a parameter to the distribution
- beta - required, a parameter to the distribution
- cumulative - required, indicates whether the distribution is cumulative or not
Examples
The gamma function is used to calculate the gamma value of a real number. The Sourcetable function GAMMA(2.5) returns the gamma value of 2.5, which is 1.329.
The Sourcetable function GAMMA(-3.75) returns the gamma value of -3.75, which is 0.268.
The Sourcetable function GAMMA(-2) returns 0 because a negative integer is not a valid argument for the gamma function.
Summary
The GAMMA function is a mathematical tool used to calculate the gamma function value of a given number.
- The GAMMA function returns the gamma function value, which is calculated using the equation Г(N+1) = N * Г(N).
