C#

public static GammaFitResult FitToSample(
	IReadOnlyList<double> sample
)

VB

Public Shared Function FitToSample ( 
	sample As IReadOnlyList(Of Double)
) As GammaFitResult

C++

public:
static GammaFitResult^ FitToSample(
	IReadOnlyList<double>^ sample
)

F#

static member FitToSample : 
        sample : IReadOnlyList<float> -> GammaFitResult

Parameters

sample IReadOnlyListDouble: The sample to fit.

Return Value

GammaFitResult
The best fit parameters.

Remarks

The returned fit parameters are the Shape and Scale, in that order. These are the same parameters, in the same order, that are required by the GammaDistribution(Double, Double) constructor to specify a new Gamma distribution.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException	sample is null.
InvalidOperationException	sample contains non-positive values.
InsufficientDataException	sample contains fewer than three values.
