.. py:class:: pastas.rfunc.Gamma(cutoff: float = 0.999, use_block: bool = True, **kwargs)



   
   Gamma response function with 3 parameters A, a, and n.

   :param cutoff: Fraction of the step response after which the response is truncated.
                  Default is 0.999.
   :type cutoff: float, optional
   :param use_block: Use the block response (rather than the impulse response) to simulate
                     the effect of a stress. The block response approximates the stress
                     as uniform during a time interval dt. When False, the impulse response
                     is used which means that the the entire stress occurs midway the time
                     interval dt. The impulse response is generally quicker to compute.
   :type use_block: bool, optional

   .. attribute:: up

      Whether a positive stress causes the head to go up (`True`), down
      (`False`), or either direction (`None`).

      :type: bool or None, optional

   .. attribute:: gain_scale_factor

      Mean stress value used to scale the initial value so that the final step
      response times the mean stress equals 1.

      :type: float, optional
