Generates Tweedie random deviates, for powers between 1 and 2.

vector of expected values for the deviates to be generated. One deviate generated for each element of |

the variance of a deviate is proportional to its mean, |

The scale parameter. Variance of the deviates is given by is |
A Tweedie random variable with 1<p<2 is a sum of N gamma random variables
where N has a Poisson distribution, with mean mu^(2-p)/((2-p)*phi). The Gamma random variables
that are summed have shape parameter (2-p)/(p-1) and scale parameter phi*(p-1)*mu^(p-1) (note that
this scale parameter is different from the scale parameter for a GLM with Gamma errors).
This is a restricted, but faster, version of rtweedie from the tweedie package.
A vector of random deviates from a Tweedie distribution, expected value vector mu, variance vector phi*mu^p.
