Description

• 

The inverse Gaussian distribution is a continuous probability distribution with probability density function given by:

ft=0t<02λπt3&ExponentialE;λtμ22μ2t2otherwise

  

subject to the following conditions:

0<μ,0<λ

• 

Note that the InverseGaussian command is inert and should be used in combination with the RandomVariable command.
