Since the gamma distribution is one of the most important models, and no convenient statistical tools for this distribution are available, the aim of this project is to construct an R package for the gamma distribution. In this package five functions are created, that can be used to either generate gamma distributed random variables, to estimate the parameters of a gamma distribution and to construct statistical limits for the gamma distribution. In this report, the methods to do so are explained, implemented in R, and the performance of the methods have
been tested. Lastly, an example is given to illustrate the application of the package.
