GAMMADIST

Calculates values for a gamma distribution.

Syntax:

GAMMADIST(x; α; β; mode)

The gamma distribution is a family of continuous probability distributions, with parameters α (shape) and β (scale).
If mode is 0, GAMMADIST calculates the probability density function of the gamma distribution:
