Morten,
It's worse than you might realize; neither gammainv nor gammadist work
for 0 < alpha < 1; that's not good, at all.
Further, beta is just a scale parameter; gammainv(.5,1,.2) *should*
return 0.2*gammainv(0.5,1,1), not #NUM!.
So: we need to fix gammainv's behavior for 0 < beta < 1, and implement
the gammadist and invgamma to work at least for 0 < alpha < 1, if not
for all alpha except the negative integers.
TIA
Dave Braden
