The gamma distribution is a flexible life distribution model that may offer a good fit to some sets of failure data. It is not, however, widely used as a life distribution model for common failure mechanisms. The gamma distribution does arise naturally as the time-to-first-fail distribution for a system with standby exponentially distributed backups, and it is also a good fit for the sum of independent exponential random variables. The distribution is sometimes called the Erlang distribution, which is used frequently in queuing theory applications. |
