    The probability density function for `gamma` is::

    for ``x >= 0``, ``a > 0``. Here ``gamma(a)`` refers to the gamma function.

    The scale parameter is equal to ``scale = 1.0 / lambda``.

    `gamma` has a shape parameter `a` which needs to be set explicitly. For
    instance:

        >>> from scipy.stats import gamma
        >>> rv = gamma(3., loc = 0., scale = 2.)

    produces a frozen form of `gamma` with shape ``a = 3.``, ``loc =0.``
    and ``lambda = 1./scale = 1./2.``.

    When ``a`` is an integer, `gamma` reduces to the Erlang
