Properties
 NameDescription
Public propertyAlpha Gets or sets the parameter alpha which is used for generation of erlang distributed random numbers.
Public propertyCanReset Gets a value indicating whether the random number distribution can be reset, so that it produces the same random number sequence again.
(Inherited from Distribution)
Public propertyGenerator Gets or sets a Generator object that can be used as underlying random number generator.
(Inherited from Distribution)
Public propertyLambda Gets or sets the parameter lambda which is used for generation of erlang distributed random numbers.
Public propertyLocation 
Public propertyMaximum Gets the maximum possible value of erlang distributed random numbers.
(Overrides DistributionMaximum)
Public propertyMean Gets the mean value of erlang distributed random numbers.
(Overrides DistributionMean)
Public propertyMedian Gets the median of erlang distributed random numbers.
(Overrides DistributionMedian)
Public propertyMinimum Gets the minimum possible value of erlang distributed random numbers.
(Overrides DistributionMinimum)
Public propertyMode Gets the mode of erlang distributed random numbers.
(Overrides DistributionMode)
Public propertyOrder 
Public propertyVariance Gets the variance of erlang distributed random numbers.
(Overrides DistributionVariance)

Remarks
C#
Return Erlang distributed random deviates according to:

                     a-1  -bx
               b (bx)    e
 p   (x) dx = ---------------- dx   for x > 0
  a,b             Gamma(a)

            =  0                    otherwise

The Erlang distribution is a special case of the Gamma distribution
with integer valued order a.
