If \(X\) and \(Y\) are independent gamma random variables then the ratio follows a beta distribution. The authors provide a similar result for compound gamma variables and for the ratio \(X^c / (X^c + Y^c), c > 0\). They introduce a hypergeometric beta distribution and a trigonometric beta distribution. The resulting density functions are amply illustrated.
