Equilibrium delay of an Erlang renewal process

ID: equilibrium-delay-of-an-erlang-renewal-process

For inter-renewal times with an Erlang distribution of integer shape and rate , the mean is and survival function is . The equilibrium first-delay density is survival divided by the mean,
This is the equal mixture of Erlang distributions of shapes . It can be constructed by observing a Poisson clock with uniformly randomized phase modulo , whose every th event is a renewal.
