The Kaniadakis Erlang distribution (or κ-Erlang Gamma distribution) is a family of continuous statistical distributions, which is a particular case of the κ-Gamma distribution, when and positive integer. The first member of this family is the κ-exponential distribution of Type I. The κ-Erlang is a κ-deformed version of the Erlang distribution. It is one example of a Kaniadakis distribution.
Characterization
