rgamma question
I was trying to generate random numbers with a gamma distribution. In R the function is: rgamma(n, shape, rate = 1, scale = 1/rate). My question is that if X~gamma(alpha, beta) and I want to generate one random number where do I plug alpha and beta in rgamma? and, what is the meaning and use of rate? Thanks for your attention, Jorge [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
