# Log Gamma Distribution

A single shape parameter \(c>0\) . The support is \(x\in\mathbb{R}\).

\begin{eqnarray*} f\left(x;c\right) & = & \frac{\exp\left(cx-e^{x}\right)}{\Gamma\left(c\right)}\\ F\left(x;c\right) & = & \frac{\gamma\left(c,e^{x}\right)}{\Gamma\left(c\right)}\\ G\left(q;c\right) & = & \log\left(\gamma^{-1}\left(c,q\Gamma\left(c\right)\right)\right)\end{eqnarray*}

where \(\gamma\) is the lower incomplete gamma function, \(\gamma\left(s, x\right) = \int_0^x t^{s-1} e^{-t} dt\).

\[\mu_{n}^{\prime}=\int_{0}^{\infty}\left[\log y\right]^{n}y^{c-1}\exp\left(-y\right)dy.\]
\begin{eqnarray*} \mu & = & \mu_{1}^{\prime}\\ \mu_{2} & = & \mu_{2}^{\prime}-\mu^{2}\\ \gamma_{1} & = & \frac{\mu_{3}^{\prime}-3\mu\mu_{2}-\mu^{3}}{\mu_{2}^{3/2}}\\ \gamma_{2} & = & \frac{\mu_{4}^{\prime}-4\mu\mu_{3}-6\mu^{2}\mu_{2}-\mu^{4}}{\mu_{2}^{2}}-3\end{eqnarray*}
