The aim of the present paper is to study the distributions of product of two independent random variables X and Y which are not everywhere positive. We have taken X to be a type II Bessel function random variate whereas Y belongs to one of normal, Pearson VII or Maxwell-Boltzmann families of...

A truncated version of the bivariate inverted dirichlet distribution is introduced. Unlike the inverted dirichlet distribution, this possesses finite moments of all orders and could therefore be a better model for certain practical situations. One such situation is discussed. The moments,...

Motivated by a Bayesian inference problem, a modification of the Bessel function distribution is introduced. Various particular cases, expressions for its moments and estimation procedures are derived. An application is illustrated to failure data.
