Superb. Thank you for giving me the intuitive understanding that I needed in just 14 minutes (was watching at 1.25x). The stuff in other places was so dense as to be practically counterproductive; I pored over "recommended" texts for hours before a search online led me to this beauty. Very very grateful for your generosity. Two important points: [1] At 08:16, I'm pretty sure you meant to say "Y" instead of "lambda". I don't know why nobody's pointed this out for 6 years. If I'm not wrong, perhaps you could add a simple note / annotation at that point on the video so that others don't get thrown by that minor blip in an otherwise superlative effort. [2] The freehand graphs, especially the one for alpha = 3, didn't seem very reliable. So it gave me a lot of confidence to see the MATLAB projections. Please never stop using those!
Thanks for the video! The textbook I have been using covers the expected value for gamma far too quickly. You really laid it out and made it easy to comprehend!
Hey its good explanation, thanks budd, I can now understand what the actual fuck is going on. But there's one question, shouldn't the Beta be replaced in the p.d.f. by 1/Beta? Since when the parameter Beta increases, the change in specific p.d.f. should be exactly the opposite of your graph. **update Sorry I was wrong. It's just different presentation of the parameter. Thanks!
Im confused. When changing values of alpha, you say anything not a function of y cancels out- you take the Beta^alpha part out. When changing values of Beta, you keep the Beta^alpha bit in? This still is not a function of y.
If this is Ben Lambert, then why didn't you post this video on your page as well? Would have been easier for us since it would reduce the search time. Btw your videos are a life saver.
What the fuck is going on
xd
one must imagine sisyphus happy
Brilliant explanations - thanks a lot! Can you take over from my uni lecturers please?

Thank you so much, great lesson!
You saved my ass.

Here beta represents the rate of change. I think in the other way beta representation the time for the next event to occur.
Really helpfull, clear english, great expression
Brilliant explanation !!!
Either I’m dumb as fuck or I’m just not paying attention like WTF if I wanted school I’ll go back for that lol more simple please
AWESOME, no crap, straight to what we need to know!
Man, this guy explain nothing, simply theoretical crap. Where is an example, some information from practice ? Nothing simply theoretical shit
Fantastic and very clearly explained! Thank you :)
No way I clicked on this video expecting shitty audio but you sound fantastic. Very rare very rare…
love the way he says beeta

thank you very much, great video and explanation
omg I was struggling with this gamma distribution for a week now. thanks!
gotta like this, so new updated explanation can come :P
can you share the matlab code with me please
Thank you
Hi, thanks for your kind words. Glad you found it helpful! Best, Ben
you're awesome
Excellent explanation, thank you
brilliant explanation
Nice explanation!
could you please tell me the name of the software he used to draw those functions
MATLAB?
it is MATLAB
Best explanation ever. Thank you.
very nice video. bravo
good video
Dude, THIS is the kind of education worth paying for, not whatever my professors are doing
That was a great explanation. Thank you!
Brilliant.
very helpful. Thank you
Really very helpful
Sorry for waiting for 10 years
But your notation for gamma distribution is wrong because you interpreted the order of parameters incorrectly😊
Brilliant~ you
such a beautiful explanation!
very helpful
Thank you
assist me in this question
let x be a bin(2,p) and y be a bin(4,p). if the pr(X>1)=5/9. find pr(Y.1)
