%
% spm_Gcdf implements the Cumulative Distribution of the Gamma-distribution.
%
% Definition:
%--------------------------------------------------------------------------
% The CDF F(x) of the Gamma distribution with shape parameter h and
% scale l is the probability that a realisation of a Gamma random
% variable X has value less than x F(x)=Pr{X<x} for X~G(h,l). The Gamma
% distribution is defined for h>0 & l>0 and for x in [0,Inf) (See Evans
% et al., Ch18, but note that this reference uses the alternative
% parameterisation of the Gamma with scale parameter c=1/l)
%
% Variate relationships: (Evans et al., Ch18 & Ch8)
%--------------------------------------------------------------------------
% For natural (strictly +ve integer) shape h this is an Erlang distribution.
%
% The Standard Gamma distribution has a single parameter, the shape h.
% The scale taken as l=1.
%
% The Chi-squared distribution with v degrees of freedom is equivalent
% to the Gamma distribution with scale parameter 1/2 and shape parameter v/2.
%
% Algorithm:
%--------------------------------------------------------------------------
% The CDF of the Gamma distribution with scale parameter l and shape h
% is related to the incomplete Gamma function by
%
%       F(x) = gammainc(l*x,h)
%
% See Abramowitz & Stegun, 6.5.1; Press et al., Sec6.2 for definitions
% of the incomplete Gamma function. The relationship is easily verified
% by substituting for t/c in the integral, where c=1/l.
%
% MATLAB's implementation of the incomplete gamma function is used.
