gampdf
Gamma probability density function (PDF).
For each element of x, compute the probability density function (PDF) of the Gamma distribution with shape parameter k and scale parameter theta. The size of y is the common size of x, k and theta. A scalar input functions as a constant matrix of the same size as the other inputs.
There are two equivalent parameterizations in common use:
