Description
When GammaDistribution.cumulativeProbability = 1, then GammaDistribution.density may return Infinite - but it should return 0.
Here is sample java code which demonstrates this issue, with results. Note that when pass the point at which cumulativeProbability = 1, the density stays > 0, though very small (pdf should be 0 when cdf = 1) - but as continue, then cdf stays 1, but pdf becomes infinite. This is seen most clearly in the second set of data below.
package ApacheTester;
import org.apache.commons.math3.distribution.GammaDistribution;
public class GammaDistributionTester
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
double mean = 10.118627813856065;
double std = 0.8934747186204953;
double alpha = (mean*mean)/(std*std);
double beta = (std*std)/mean;
System.out.println("alpha: " + alpha);
System.out.println("beta: " + beta);
GammaDistribution gd = new GammaDistribution(alpha, beta);
for (int i=0; i<25; i++)
{ double pdf = gd.density(i); double cdf = gd.cumulativeProbability(i); System.out.println("i=" + i + "; pdf=" + pdf + "; cdf=" + cdf); }System.out.println();
for (int i=0; i<20; i++)
{ double x = 19.0 + (.1 * i); double pdf = gd.density(x); double cdf = gd.cumulativeProbability(x); System.out.println("x=" + x + "; pdf=" + pdf + "; cdf=" + cdf); } }
}
Here's results of running above test:
