scipy.stats.gamma() is an gamma continuous random variable that is defined with a standard format and some shape parameters to complete its specification.
Parameters : -> q : lower and upper tail probability -> x : quantiles -> loc : [optional]location parameter. Default = 0 -> scale : [optional]scale parameter. Default = 1 -> size : [tuple of ints, optional] shape or random variates. -> a : shape parameters -> moments : [optional] composed of letters [‘mvsk’]; 'm' = mean, 'v' = variance, 's' = Fisher's skew and 'k' = Fisher's kurtosis. (default = 'mv'). Results : gamma continuous random variable
Code #1 : Creating gamma continuous random variable Python3
from scipy.stats import gamma 

numargs = gamma .numargs
[a] = [0.7, ] * numargs
rv = gamma (a)

print ("RV : \n", rv) 
Output :
RV : 
 <scipy.stats._distn_infrastructure.rv_frozen object at 0x0000018D57997F60>
Code #2 : generalized gamma random variates. Python3
import numpy as np
quantile = np.arange (0.01, 1, 0.1)
 
# Random Variates
R = gamma.rvs(a, scale = 2,  size = 10)
print ("Random Variates : \n", R)

# PDF
R = gamma.pdf(a, quantile, loc = 0, scale = 1)
print ("\nProbability Distribution : \n", R)
Output :
Random Variates : 
 [0.01601209 0.05164555 1.22072489 0.53476245 0.11529018 0.16966403

Code #3 : Graphical Representation. Python3
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

distribution = np.linspace(0, np.minimum(rv.dist.b, 3))
print("Distribution : \n", distribution)

plot = plt.plot(distribution, rv.pdf(distribution))

Code #4 : Varying Positional Arguments Python3
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

x = np.linspace(0, 5, 100)

# Varying positional arguments
y1 = gamma.pdf(x, a, 1, 3)
y2 = gamma.pdf(x, a, 1, 4)
plt.plot(x, y1, "*", x, y2, "r--")
