Remarks
C#
Copy
Return Gamma distributed random deviates according to:

                     a-1  -bx
               b (bx)    e
 p   (x) dx = ---------------- dx   for x > 0
  a,b             Gamma(a)

            =  0                    otherwise
                            // 
The arguments must satisfy the conditions:
a > 0   (positive)
b != 0  (non-zero)
