Exponential family distributions | Continuous distributions | Infinitely divisible probability distributions
The Erlang distribution is a two-parameter family of continuous probability distributions with support . The two parameters are: * a positive integer the "shape", and * a positive real number the "rate". The "scale", the reciprocal of the rate, is sometimes used instead. The Erlang distribution is the distribution of a sum of independent exponential variables with mean each. Equivalently, it is the distribution of the time until the kth event of a Poisson process with a rate of . When , the distribution simplifies to the exponential distribution. The Erlang distribution is a special case of the gamma distribution wherein the shape of the distribution is discretised. The Erlang distribution was developed by A. K. Erlang to examine the number of telephone calls which might be made at the same time to the operators of the switching stations. This work on telephone traffic engineering has been expanded to consider waiting times in queueing systems in general. The distribution is also used in the field of stochastic processes. (Wikipedia).
