Everything about Gamma process

Stochastic process for effort or wear

A gamma process, also called the Moran-Gamma subordinator, is a two-parameter stochastic process which models the accumulation of effort or wear over time. The gamma process has independent and stationary increments which follow the gamma distribution, hence the name. The gamma process is studied in mathematics, statistics, probability theory, and stochastics, with particular applications in deterioration modeling and mathematical finance. Wikipedia →
