These are my code, however, i am not getting the plot.
X=1:100; % Duration of data
Data=rand(1,100); % randomly generated 100 years of data
Z=gamfit(Data); % fitting distribution for shape and scale factor
beta=2; % Shape factor
alpha=3; % scale factor
pdf=gampdf(X,alpha,beta); % pdf of the gamma distribution
Plot(pdf,X,'-');

It is correct, you just need to exchange pdf with X :
plot(x,pdf);

still giving me the error that:
Index exceeded matrix dimension for this line.
pdf=gampdf(X,alpha,beta);

the variables alpha and beta are in the system , change theirs names to Alpha, Beta for example.

Change capital P-letter to small P-letter, MATLAB is case senstive!
plot(pdf,X,'-');

X=1:100; ALPHA=3; BETA=2; PDF=gampdf(X,ALPHA,BETA); plot(X,PDF);

Thanks Youssef, please have a look at my excel sheet which i am using for this problem...see if you are getting the same as i got up there...sorry for asking too much however, i really need to get this done as i am going to present it soon.
my x is years while alpha and beta were generated from the flow data.
Thanks dear
