class Gamma(ExponentialFamily):
r"""
Creates a Gamma distribution parameterized by shape :attr:`concentration` and :attr:`rate`.
Example::
>>> # xdoctest: +IGNORE_WANT("non-deterministic")
>>> m = Gamma(tensorplay.tensor([1.0]), tensorplay.tensor([1.0]))
>>> m.sample() # Gamma distributed with concentration=1 and rate=1
tensor([ 0.1046])
Args:
concentration (float or Tensor): shape parameter of the distribution
(often referred to as alpha)
rate (float or Tensor): rate parameter of the distribution
(often referred to as beta), rate = 1 / scale
