Gamma density function

This equation with a fixed value of N and a variable value of t is not a Poisson distribution function (in contrast to Eq. 6.3), but a gamma density function [14], with a first moment given by... 

For large values of the plate number, N, the gamma density function approaches the Gaussian function [15], as given by Eq. 6.5.

Band broadening effects such as dispersion and mass transfer resistance are represented by the number of tanks (or stages) N. This can be explained by evaluating the moments of the analytical solution of Equation 6.98. For linear isotherms and the injection of an ideal Dirac pulse of one component, this equation yields a gamma density function for the concentration profile. With the retention time Ir lin.i of Equation 6.49 one obtains the elution profile as the time dependence of the concentration in the last tank (k= N) ... 

N is too small and a more realistic model of the reactor flow pattern should be sought. Similarly one can calculate p = uL/2D x and use the segregated flow model to calculate by integration the reactor performance while approximating E (0) by the gamma density function. When the dispersion intensity is small this should work. When the intensity is large even the dispersion model itself may not represent physical reality well and a multi-dimensional model is needed. 

It may be decided that the gamma prior cannot be greater than a certain value xf. This has the effect of true Ling the normalizing denominator in equation 2.6-10," and leads to equation 2.6-17, where P(x v) is the cumulative integral from 0 to over the chi-squared density function with V degrees of freedom, a is the prescribed confidence fraction, and = 2 A" (t+Tr). Thus, the effect of the truncated gamma prior is to modify the confidence interval to become an effective confidence interval of a ... 

It can be seen that the gamma function approximation of the compound density function is not accurate. However, as seen in Figure 6.3, the gamma approximation of the distribution function is sufficiently good, especially in the interval between 90 and 100% probability which provides the inventory needed to be able to serve at least 90% of the demand.

Equation (9.32) is a linear Fredholm integral equation of the first kind. It is also known as an unfolding or deconvolution equation. One can preanalyze the data and try to solve this first-kind integral equation. Besides the complexity of this equation, there is a paucity of numerical methods for determining the unknown function / (h) [208,379] with special emphasis on methods based on the principle of maximum entropy [207,380]. The so-obtained density function may be approximated by several models, gamma, Weibull, Erlang, etc., or by phase-type distributions. 

The methods depend on the theoretical treatment which is used. A majority of them are based on the Generalised Adsorption Isotherm (GAI) also called the Integral Adsorption Equation (LAE). The more recent approaches use the Monte Carlo simulations or the density functional theory to calculate the local adsorption isotherm. The analytical form of the pore size distribution function (PSD) is not a priori assumed. It is determined using the regularization method [1,2,3]. Older methods use the Dubinin-Radushkevich or the Dubinin-Astakhov models as kernel with a gaussian or a gamma-type function for the pore size distribution. In some cases, the generalised adsorption equation can be solved analytically and the parameters of the PSD appear directly in the isotherm equation [4,5,6]. Other methods which do not rely on the GAI concept are sometimes used the MP and the Horvath-Kawazoe (H-K) methods are the most well known [7,8].

The generalized gamma distribution is one of the most studied probabihty density functions of statistics since many of the important nondiscrete density functions can be derived from it. For example, /(y (2,0, V2A)) is the one-sided normal distribution, and/(y (l, /2— 1,2)) is the / -distribution. In the special case of = a — 1 the gamma distribution is called a Weibull distribution and in case of a = 1 we obtain the Gamma distribution.

The symbol T(fc/2) showing up in the density function denotes the complete gamma function. This is not by chance because the distribution is actually a special case of the gamma distribution. (Looking at the density function one can easily recognize it as the density function of the y k/2, 1/2) gamma distribution. The characteristic functions are still easier to compare. 

In particular, if the dead time is constant (6), then f=v exp[-v(f - 0)1, which is the exponential density function shifted to 6(t > 6). Therefore, S has a shifted gamma distribution with the following density function ...
