“…The gamma function is the extension of the factorial function to non-integers, and satisfies the fundamental properties γ(n) = (n − 1)! for positive integers and Γ(x + 1) = xΓ(x) for all x [27]. While the derivation of the expectation in [26] depends on the Pochmann symbol, this result can alternatively be derived using an integral representation of the beta function, as shown in Appendix I.…”
