/** \class RooGamma
    \ingroup Roofit
 
Implementation of the Gamma PDF for RooFit/RooStats.
\f[
f(x) = \frac{(x-\mu)^{\gamma-1} \cdot \exp^{(-(x-mu) / \beta}}{\Gamma(\gamma) \cdot \beta^{\gamma}}
\f]
defined for \f$ x \geq 0 \f$ if \f$ \mu = 0 \f$
 
Notes from Kyle Cranmer:
 
Wikipedia and several sources refer to the Gamma distribution as
 
\f[
G(\mu,\alpha,\beta) = \beta^\alpha \mu^{(\alpha-1)} \frac{e^{(-\beta \mu)}}{\Gamma(\alpha)}
\f]
 
Below is the correspondence:
 
| Wikipedia       | This Implementation      |
|-----------------|--------------------------|
| \f$ \alpha \f$  | \f$ \gamma \f$           |
| \f$ \beta \f$   | \f$ \frac{1}{\beta} \f$  |
| \f$ \mu \f$     | x                        |
| 0               | \f$ \mu \f$              |
 
 
Note, that for a model Pois(N|mu), a uniform prior on mu, and a measurement N
the posterior is in the Wikipedia parameterization Gamma(mu, alpha=N+1, beta=1)
thus for this implementation it is:
 
`RooGamma(_x=mu,_gamma=N+1,_beta=1,_mu=0)`
 
Also note, that in this case it is equivalent to
RooPoison(N,mu) and treating the function as a PDF in mu.
