%0 Journal Article %T On Generalized Slash Distributions: Representation by Hypergeometric Functions %J Stats | An Open Access Journal from MDPI %D 2019 %R https://doi.org/10.3390/stats2030026 %X The popular concept of slash distribution is generalized by considering the quotient Z = X/Y of independent random variables X and Y, where X is any continuous random variable and Y has a general beta distribution. The density of Z can usually be expressed by means of generalized hypergeometric functions. We study the distribution of Z for various parent distributions of X and indicate a possible application in finance. View Full-Tex %U https://www.mdpi.com/2571-905X/2/3/26
