Remarks

Beta distributions have two shape parameters, usually called α and β.

Unlike most other distributions, location and scale parameters are not usually used to specify the general form of the Beta distribution. Instead, the lower and upper bounds of the definition interval are used. This interval defaults to [0, 1].

A beta distribution with both shape parameters equal to 1 reduces to a Uniform distribution. If α=1 and β = 2, or α = 2 and β = 1, the beta distribution reduces to the triangular distribution.
