A convenient way of generating gamma random variables using generalized exponential distribution
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we propose a very convenient way to generate gamma random variables using generalized exponential distribution, when the shape parameter lies between 0 and 1. The new method is compared with the most popular Ahrens & Dieter method and the method proposed by Best. Like Ahrens & Dieter and Best methods our method also uses the acceptance-rejection principle. But it is observed that our method has greater acceptance proportion than Ahrens & Dieter or Best methods.

متن کاملClassical and Bayesian Inference in Two Parameter Exponential Distribution with Randomly Censored Data
Abstract. This paper deals with the classical and Bayesian estimation for two parameter exponential distribution having scale and location parameters with randomly censored data. The censoring time is also assumed to follow a two parameter exponential distribution with different scale but same location parameter. The main stress is on the location parameter in this paper. This parameter has not...
متن کاملBayesian paradigm for analysing count data in longitudina studies using Poisson-generalized log-gamma model
In analyzing longitudinal data with counted responses, normal distribution is usually used for distribution of the random efffects. However, in some applications random effects may not be normally distributed. Misspecification of this distribution may cause reduction of efficiency of estimators. In this paper, a generalized log-gamma distribution is used for the random effects which includes th...
