19.2 Beta Proportion Distribution
19.2.1 Probability Density Function
If \(\mu \in (0, 1)\) and \(\kappa \in \mathbb{R}^+\), then for \(\theta \in (0,1)\), \[ \mathrm{Beta\_Proportion}(\theta|\mu,\kappa) = \frac{1}{\mathrm{B}(\mu \kappa, (1 - \mu) \kappa)} \, \theta^{\mu\kappa - 1} \, (1 - \theta)^{(1 - \mu)\kappa- 1} , \] where the beta function \(\mathrm{B}()\) is as defined in section combinatorial functions.
Warning: If \(\theta = 0\) or \(\theta = 1\), then the probability is 0 and the log probability is \(-\infty\). Similarly, the distribution requires \(\mu \in (0, 1)\) and strictly positive parameter, \(\kappa > 0\).
19.2.2 Sampling Statement
theta ~ beta_proportion(mu, kappa)
Increment target log probability density with beta_proportion_lpdf( theta | mu, kappa)
dropping constant additive terms.
