Hi,
In src/nmath/dgamma.c the comment at the top says
* DESCRIPTION
*
* Computes the density of the gamma distribution,
*
* 1/s (x/s)^{a-1} exp(-x/s)
* p(x;a,s) = -----------------------
* (a-1)!
*
* where `s' is the scale (= 1/lambda in other parametrizations)
* and `a' is the shape parameter ( = alpha in other contexts).
Maybe I'm missing something, but shouldn't the denominator be Gamma(a)
(since a is not necessarily an integer)?
Faheem.
