HP Prime and TI-84 Plus CE: Maximum Probability - Incomplete Gamma Law

HP Prime and TI-84 Plus CE:  Maximum Probability - Incomplete Gamma Law

Introduction

The program IGLMAX calculates four calculation points of the Incomplete Gamma Law:

Three parameters of A, γ, and β of the IGL (Incomplete Gamma Law):

g(x) = 1 / (β^γ * gamma(γ)) * x^(γ - 1) * e^(x/β)

where:

X = list of data points, where x_i ≥ 0
s = number of data points
r = number of points where x_i = 0 (zero points)

A = ln(mean(X)) - (Σ ln(X_i))/(s - r)
γ = 1/(4*A) * (1 + √(1 + 4*A/3))
β = mean(X)/γ

And

p = probability that x is not exceeded
p = r/s + (1 - r/s) * (1 - uigf(γ, x)/gamma(γ))

Gamma Function:
gamma(γ) = ∫( t^(γ - 1) * e^(-t) dt, 0, ∞ )

Upper Incomplete Gamma Function:
uigf(γ, x) = ∫( t^(γ - 1) * e^(-t) dt, x/β, ∞ )

One particular application is determining the maximum limit that rainfall exceeds x (inches or mm).  The book "Pocket Computers in Agrometeorology" introduces this concept and provides a program for the classic TI-59 (see source below).
