If I understand the inverse gamma correctly, you can generate from x=gamrnd(a,1./b) and then take y=1./x. This would require the Statistics Toolbox.

Hi, Jonathan
Have you solved this problem?I have compared the pdf curves obtained by ksdensity method of samples draw by the mentioned way using gamrnd function and by analytical solution using the equation of inverse-gamma pdf. It is shown as the alpha is smaller than 2, the mentioned way cannot sample well. Please see the attached figure where symbols represent pdf from ksdensity method and lines represent pdf from analytical solutoin. ![untitled.bmp](https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/uploaded_files/197080/untitled.bmp)
