Beta prime distribution

(Also known as beta or inverse primary distribution beta distribution ) the beta prime distribution Bp is a univariate distribution for continuous random variables, with two parameters α and β. It is a special case of the gamma-gamma distribution and thus a mixed distribution.

The density function is:

Here B ( α, β ) the Beta function.

With expected value

Mode

And variance

Relationship to the gamma distribution

If the second parameter ε of the gamma distribution G (a, ε ) is a random variable that is distributed as a gamma distribution G (b, 1), then the company resulting random variable as a beta primary distribution Bp (a, b ) distributed.

Relation to the gamma distribution gamma

A gamma - gamma distribution Gg (a, b = 1, d ) corresponds to a beta primary distribution Bp ( α = d, β = a)
