using beta
(β).

Shape Parameter (α)

The shape parameter for the gamma distribution speci!es the


number of events you are modeling. For example, if you want to
evaluate probabilities for the elapsed time of three accidents, the
shape parameter equals 3. Shape must be positive, but it does not
have to be an integer.Page / 55
