Convolutions - Gaussian and Kinetic Decay
In addition to the EMG model, many kinetic decay models have closed form solutions for integer ratios of powers that differ by 1. The following models consist of Gaussian Ä Kinetic Decay for order 0, 1/2, 2/3, 2/4, 4/5, 5/6, 6/7, 7/8, and 9/10. These are significant since catalyzed kinetics have such orders.
As closed form solutions, even the rather onerous orders nearer 1 are computationally fast relative to models which require internally iterative special functions, but there can be precision issues, especially in the orders from 5/6 upward. This is evident in the order 9/10 plots, but can occur with any of the models as the a3 t or time constant approaches 0.
Also note the similarity illustrated at the end of this topic where kinetic and a half-Gaussian probabilisitic decays are compared.

Similarity to a Half-Gaussian Probabilisitic Decay
A half-Gaussian probabilistic decay tends to be quite similar to a kinetic decay with an order in the vicinity of approx 0.55.
The following graph consists of four plots, a fronted GMG and 1/2 order KMG, and a tailed GMG and 1/2 order KMG, the parameters adjusted to produce as close a match as possible. These are very different models which can produce similar shapes.
