OR:

In probability theory, a hyper-Erlang distribution is a continuous probability distribution which takes a particular Erlang distribution E''i'' with probability ''p''''i''. A hyper-Erlang distributed random variable ''X'' has a probability density function given by : A(x) = \sum_^n p_i E_(x) where each ''p''''i'' > 0 with the ''p''''i'' summing to 1 and each of the E''l''''i'' being an Erlang distribution with ''l''''i'' stages each of which has parameter ''λ''''i''.
