Hello, I am new to R and am trying to figure out how to specify an exponential distribution with scale and shape parameters. I can specify an exponential distribution with an inverse scale but would like to know how to specify the distribution with a shape parameter as well. thanks much, John [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I'm unfamiliar with any definition of the exponential distribution with more than one parameter. Can you point to a reference/example somewhere? Ben Bolker
