Gamma Distribution out of sum of exponential random variables












11












$begingroup$


I have a sequence $T_1,T_2,ldots$ of independent exponential random variables with paramter $lambda$. I take the sum $S=sum_{i=1}^n T_i$ and now I would like to calculate the probability density function.



Well, I know that $P(T_i>t)=e^{-lambda t}$ and therefore $f_{T_i}(t)=lambda e^{-lambda t}$ so I need to find $P(T_1+cdots+T_n>t)$ and take the derivative. But I cannot expand the probability term, you have any ideas?

The usual way to do this is to consider the moment generating function, noting that if $S = sum_{i=1}^n X_i$ is the sum of IID random variables $X_i$, each with MGF $M_X(t)$, then the MGF of $S$ is $M_S(t) = (M_X(t))^n$. Applied to the exponential distribution, we can get the gamma distribution as a result.



If you don't go the MGF route, then you can prove it by induction, using the simple case of the sum of the sum of a gamma random variable and an exponential random variable with the same rate parameter. Let's actually do this. Suppose $Y sim {rm Gamma}(a,b)$ and $X sim {rm Exponential}(b)$ are independent, so that $$f_Y(y) = frac{b^a y^{a-1} e^{-by}}{Gamma(a)} mathbb 1(y > 0), quad f_X(x) = be^{-bx} mathbb 1(x > 0), quad a, b > 0.$$ Then, we notice that if $a = 1$, $Y$ would also be exponential (i.e., the exponential distribution is a special case of the Gamma with $a = 1$). Now consider $Z = X+Y$. The PDF is $$begin{align*} f_Z(z) &= int_{y=0}^z f_Y(y) f_X(z-y) , dy \ &= int_{y=0}^z frac{b^{a+1} y^{a-1} e^{-by} e^{-b(z-y)}}{Gamma(a)} , dy \ &= frac{b^{a+1} e^{-bz}}{Gamma(a)} int_{y=0}^z y^{a-1} , dy \ &= frac{b^{a+1} e^{-bz}}{Gamma(a)} cdot frac{z^a}{a} = frac{b^{a+1} z^a e^{-bz}}{Gamma(a+1)}. end{align*}$$ But this is just a gamma PDF with new shape parameter $a^* = a+1$. So, it is easy to see by induction that the sum of $n$ IID exponential variables with common rate parameter $lambda$ is gamma with shape parameter $a = n$, and rate parameter $b = lambda$.
