Find the PDF of gamma distributed random variable using derivation












0












$begingroup$


Let $X$ be a random variable with CDF $F_X(x)$ given by
$$
F_X(x)=1-frac{Gamma(m,(m/y)x)}{Gamma(m)},
$$



where $m$ and $y$ are positive integers $(m>0, y>0)$ and $Gamma(a,z)$ is the incomplete gamma function defined
$$
Gamma(a,z)=int_{z}^{infty}t^{a-1}e^{-t}dt.
$$

How we can find the PDF of $X$, $f_X(x)$ using derivation method?.



The PDF of $X$ is given by
$$
f_X(x)=frac{m^m}{y^mGamma(m)}x^{m-1}e^{-(m/y)x}.
$$



My quetion how to get $f_X(x)$ using
$$
f_X(x)=frac{dF_X(x)}{dx}.
$$

You have
$$F_X(x)=1-frac{Gamma(m,(m/y)x)}{Gamma(m)},$$
where
$$Gamma(a,z) = int_{z}^{infty}t^{a-1}e^{-z}dt.$$
Then
$$f_X(x)=frac{dF_{X}(x)}{dx} = frac{-1}{Gamma(m)}left(int_{(m/y)x}^{infty}t^{m-1}e^{-(m/y)x}dtright)'.$$
Now
$$frac{dGamma(a,z)}{dz} = -e^{-z}z^{a-1}$$
and so
$$f_X(x) = frac{-1}{Gamma(m)}left(int_{(m/y)x}^{infty}t^{m-1}e^{-(m/y)x}dtright)'$$
$$ = frac{1}{Gamma(m)}left[ e^{-(m/y)x}((m/y)x)^{m-1}right]frac{m}{y} = frac{m^m}{y^mGamma(m)}x^{m-1}e^{-(m/y)x}.$$
