It is well documented in the literature that the Erlang-, \(\chi^ 2\)- and exponential distributions are special cases of the gamma distribution. This paper presents a new little result, which unifies the above distributions with the Weibull distribution. It is shown that using one additional parameter, called a unifying parameter, all the above distributions can be derived from one distribution.
