GAMMA

Formulas / GAMMA
Return 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).
