ErlangDistribution
ErlangDistribution[k, 
]
represents the Erlang distribution with shape parameter k and rate .
Details
- The probability density for value
in an Erlang distribution is proportional to 
for 
, and is zero for 
. - ErlangDistribution[k, ] is equivalent to TransformedDistribution[x1+...+xk, ...] with each
from ExponentialDistribution[]. - ErlangDistribution allows k to be any positive integer and to be any positive real number.
- ErlangDistribution can be used with such functions as Mean, CDF, and RandomVariate.
