SummaryWilks [26] introduced two integral equations in connection with distribution problems in statistics. He called them Type A and Type B equations. Tretter and Walster ([22], [24]) solved the Type B equation and obtained the null and non-null distributions of the likelihood ratio criterion for testing linear hypotheses in the multinormal case. In this article we present several types of solutions of these equations along with new equations called Types C, D, E and F with their solutions. These include the integral equations satisfied by the density of a random variable which is (a) product of independent real gamma variates; (b) products of independent real beta variates; (c) ratio of products of independent beta and gamma variates ; (d) arbitrary powers of products of gamma and beta variates; (e) arbitrary powers of products and ratios of beta and gamma variates, and more general cases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
