Abstract

Beta distributions are usually defined on the unit interval [0,1]. For wider applicability, we introduce six exponentiated beta distributions and derive several of their properties, including the moment generating function, expectation, variance, skewness, kurtosis, Shannon entropy, and the Renyi entropy.
