mars.tensor.special.gammaincinv(a, b, **kwargs)[source]#

Inverse to the lower incomplete gamma function with respect to x.

Given an input \(y\) between 0 and 1, returns \(x\) such that \(y = P(a, x)\). Here \(P\) is the regularized lower incomplete gamma function; see gammainc. This is well-defined because the lower incomplete gamma function is monotonic as can be seen from its definition in [dlmf].

Parameters

  • a (array_like) – Positive parameter

  • y (array_like) – Parameter between 0 and 1, inclusive

Returns

Values of the inverse of the lower incomplete gamma function

Return type

scalar or ndarray
