For inter-renewal times with an Erlang distribution of integer shape r and rate λ, the mean is r/λ and survival function is e−λt∑j=0r−1​(λt)j/j!. The equilibrium first-delay density is survival divided by the mean,
fe​(t)=rλ​e−λt∑j=0r−1​j!(λt)j​,t>0.

This is the equal mixture of Erlang distributions of shapes 1,…,r. It can be constructed by observing a Poisson clock with uniformly randomized phase modulo r, whose every rth event is a renewal.
