Abstract: It may be thought that the topic of the title of this paper would have been exhausted by now but apparently not. In this note, we lay out both existing and unfamiliar simple functions of independent beta-distributed random variables that themselves follow beta distributions, and explore a number of extensions, generalizations and examples thereof.
