## Detailed Description

Gamma random walk.

Mean value, , of this density is given by `rvc` . Standard deviation of the random walk is proportional to one -th the mean. This is achieved by setting and .

The standard deviation of the walk is then: .

void bdm::mgamma::from_setting | ( | const Setting & | set | ) | `[inline, virtual]`

Load from structure with elements:

     { alpha = [...];         // vector of alpha
       k = 1.1;               // multiplicative constant k
       rv = {class="RV",...}  // description of RV
       rvc = {class="RV",...} // description of RV in condition
     }
