Theory of Barnes Beta distributions
Theory of Barnes Beta distributions
A new family of probability distributions $\beta_{M, N},$ $M=0\cdots N,$ $N\in\mathbb{N}$ on the unit interval $(0, 1]$ is defined by the Mellin transform. The Mellin transform of $\beta_{M,N}$ is characterized in terms of products of ratios of Barnes multiple gamma functions, shown to satisfy a functional equation, and a Shintani-type …
