maple syntax:
int(theta^y * exp(-theta*(1-alpha) ) , theta)
I have a distribution that I need to integrate, and I know the result should have a gamma function in it.
The only thing I have found helpful is:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamma_function
My function is kind of in that form (theta^something * exp(something) ), but the "somethings" don't seem to be able to be manipulated into that form. Any hints on how to go about this?
Thanks!
