How to calculate the expected value of a given distribution in SAS

Question

For example, gamma(2,3) is given. Is there any function in SAS like ExpectedValue("Gamma",2,3) to give the expected value of the distribution. I have googled for a while and no satisfactory answer found.

Answer 1

I don't think there is. Given your particular example, the solution is

Mean_Gamma = 2 X 3;

If your only interested in the Gamma function you make your own function using PROC FCMP or you could simulate a distribution and calculate the average.
