On characterizations of beta and gamma distributions

G. F. Yeo and R. K. Milne

Statistics & Probability Letters, 1991, vol. 11, issue 3, 239-242

Abstract: Characterizations based on a product of independent random variables are presented for gamma and beta distributions, thereby extending recent results due to Kotz and Steutel and the authors. Moment methods are useful in some proofs. Links are made to multivariate analogues.
