The incomplete gamma function G(a,x)
is a variation on the gamma function.
An alternative incomplete gamma function can be defined as the integral from 0 to x. It may be clear that this is the same function, apart from a constant.
The function can be normalized to the regularized incomplete gamma function Q(a,x) defined by: G(a,x) / G(a).
The incomplete gamma function and its inverse are
used in statistics.
