inverse Gaussian distribution

Unread postby tclark » Tue Feb 04, 2020 10:22 am

Has anyone by chance worked out how to draw in RATS from an inverse Gaussian distribution? Drawing from this distribution shows up in Gibbs samplers for Bayesian quantile regression. Thanks.

That's a fairly straightforward function (attached). This is based on the Java code on the wikipedia page for the distribution.
