On the infinite divisibility of inverse Beta distributions (1405.4176v2)

Published 16 May 2014 in math.PR

Abstract: We show that all negative powers B_{a,b}-{s} of the Beta distribution are infinitely divisible. The case b<1 follows by complete monotonicity, the case b > 1, s > 1 by hyperbolically complete monotonicity and the case b > 1, s < 1 by a L\'evy perpetuity argument involving the hypergeometric series. We also observe that B_{a,b}{-s} is self-decomposable whenever 2a + b + s + bs > 1, and that it is not always a generalized Gamma convolution. On the other hand, we prove that all negative powers of the Gamma distribution are generalized Gamma convolutions, answering to a recent question of L. Bondesson.
