Abstract :
Two new probability density functions (PDFs) closely related to the beta PDF are derived. The first PDF generalises the well-known relation about gamma and beta random variables (RVs). The second enables the modelling of uncertainty in one of the parameters of the beta RV. Both functions have a number of interesting applications in image processing, radar and pattern recognition
