BetaDistribution

BetaDistribution[ , ] gives the continuous beta distribution with shape parameters and .

When and have independent gamma distributions with equal scale parameters, the random variable follows the beta distribution BetaDistribution[ , ], where and are the shape parameters of the gamma variables.

This generates a set of random numbers that follow the continuous beta distribution.

In[1]:=

Out[1]:=

This gives the probability density function for the continuous beta distribution.

In[2]:=

Out[2]:=

This gives the cumulative distribution function for the continuous beta distribution.
