In [[probability theory]], a '''hyperexponential distribution''' is a [[continuous probability distribution]] whose [[probability density function]] of the [[random variable]] ''X'' is given by
 
:<math> f_X(x) = \sum_{i=1}^n f_{Y_i}(x)\;p_i,</math>
 
where each ''Y''<sub>''i''</sub> is an [[exponential distribution|exponentially distributed]] random variable with rate parameter ''λ''<sub>''i''</sub>, and ''p''<sub>''i''</sub> is the probability that ''X'' will take on the form of the exponential distribution with rate ''λ''<sub>''i''</sub>.<ref name=SinghDatta>{{cite doi|10.1080/15501320701259925}}</ref> It is named the ''hyper''-exponential distribution since its [[coefficient of variation]] is greater than that of the exponential distribution, whose coefficient of variation is 1, and the [[hypoexponential distribution]], which has a coefficient of variation less than one.  While the [[exponential distribution]] is the continuous analogue of the [[geometric distribution]], the hyper-exponential distribution is not analogous to the [[hypergeometric distribution]]. The hyper-exponential distribution is an example of a [[mixture density]].
 
An example of a hyper-exponential random variable can be seen in the context of [[telephony]], where, if someone has a modem and a phone, their phone line usage could be modeled as a hyper-exponential distribution where there is probability ''p'' of them talking on the phone with rate ''λ''<sub>1</sub> and probability ''q'' of them using their internet connection with rate&nbsp;''λ''<sub>2</sub>.
 
==Properties of the hyper-exponential distribution==
Since the expected value of a sum is the sum of the expected values, the expected value of a hyper-exponential random variable can be shown as
 
:<math> E[X] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x f(x) \, dx= \sum_{i=1}^n p_i\int_0^\infty x\lambda_i e^{-\lambda_ix} \, dx = \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{p_i}{\lambda_i}</math>
 
and
 
:<math> E\!\left[X^2\right] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x^2 f(x) \, dx = \sum_{i=1}^n p_i\int_0^\infty x^2\lambda_i e^{-\lambda_ix} \, dx = \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{2}{\lambda_i^2}p_i,</math>
 
from which we can derive the variance:<ref>{{cite book|author=H.T. Papadopolous, C. Heavey, and J. Browne|title=Queueing Theory in Manufacturing Systems Analysis and Design|year=1993|publisher=Springer|isbn=9780412387203|page=35|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=9pf5MCf9VDYC&pg=PA35}}</ref>
 
:<math>\operatorname{Var}[X] = E\!\left[X^2\right] - E\!\left[X\right]^2  = \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{2}{\lambda_i^2}p_i -  \left[\sum_{i=1}^n \frac{p_i}{\lambda_i}\right]^2
= \left[\sum_{i=1}^n \frac{p_i}{\lambda_i}\right]^2  + \sum_{i=1}^n \sum_{j=1}^n p_i p_j \left(\frac{1}{\lambda_i} - \frac{1}{\lambda_j} \right)^2.
</math>
 
The standard deviation exceeds the mean in general (except for the degenerate case of all the ''&lambda;''s being equal), so the [[coefficient of variation]] is greater than&nbsp;1.
 
The [[moment-generating function]] is given by
 
:<math>E\!\left[e^{tx}\right] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{tx} f(x) \, dx=  \sum_{i=1}^n p_i \int_0^\infty e^{tx}\lambda_i e^{-\lambda_i x} \, dx = \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{\lambda_i}{\lambda_i - t}p_i.</math>
 
==Fitting==
 
A given probability distribution, including a [[heavy-tailed distribution]], can be approximated by a hyperexponential distribution by fitting recursively to different time scales using [[Prony's method]].<ref>{{cite doi|10.1016/S0166-5316(97)00003-5}}</ref>
