The special case of the gamma distribution in which α is a positive integer n is called an Erlang distribution. If we replace β by 1 λ in the expression below, f(x; α, β) = 1 βαΓ(α) xα − 1e−x/β x ≥ 0 0 otherwise the Erlang pdf is as follows. f(x; λ, n) = λ(λx)n − 1e−λx (n − 1)! x ≥ 0 0 x < 0 It can be shown that if the times between successive events are...
