The main objective of the present paper is to define 119896-gamma and 119896-beta distributions and moments generating function for thesaid distributions in terms of a new parameter 119896 gt 0 Also the authors prove some properties of these newly defined distributions
1 Basic Definitions
In this section we give some definitions which provide a basefor our main results The definitions (11ndash13) are given in[1] while (14ndash16) are introduced in [2] Also we have takensome statistics related definitions (17ndash111) from [3ndash5]
11 Pochhmmer Symbol Thefactorial function is denoted anddefined by

The function (119886)119899defined in relation (1) is also known as
Pochhmmer symbol
12 Gamma Function Let 119911 isin C the Euler gamma functionis defined by

119889119905 R (119911) gt 0 (3)
From the relation (3) using integration by parts we can easilyshow that
Γ (119911 + 1) = 119911Γ (119911) (4)The relation between Pochhammer symbol and gammafunction is given by
(119911)119899=Γ (119911 + 119899)
Γ (119911) (5)
13 Beta Function The beta function of two variables isdefined as

119889119905 Re (119909) Re (119910) gt 0 (6)
and in terms of gamma function it is written as
119861 (119909 119910) =Γ (119909) Γ (119910)
Γ (119909 + 119910) (7)
14 Pochhammer 119896-Symbol For 119896 gt 0 the Pochhammer 119896-symbol is denoted and defined by

and in terms of 119896-gamma function 119896-beta function is definedas

Γ119896(119909 + 119910)
(12)
Also the researchers [6ndash10] have worked on the gen-eralized 119896-gamma and 119896-beta functions and discussed thefollowing properties
Γ119896(119909 + 119896) = 119909Γ

Γ119896(119896) = 1 119896 gt 0 (15)
Using the above relations we see that for 119909 119910 gt 0 and 119896 gt
0 the following properties of 119896-beta function are satisfied byauthors (see [6 7 11])

17 Probability Distribution and Expected Values In a ran-dom experiment with 119899 outcomes suppose a variable 119883
assumes the values 1199091 1199092 1199093 119909
119899with corresponding
probabilities 1198751 1198752 1198753 119875
119899 then this collection is called
probability distribution andΣ119901119894= 1 (in case of discrete distri-
butions) Also if119891(119909) is a continuous probability distributionfunction defined on an interval [119886 119887] then int119887
119886
119891(119909)119889119909 = 1In statistics there are three types of moments which are
(i) moments about any point 119909 = 119886 (ii) moments about119909 = 0 and (iii) moments about mean position of the givendata Also expected value of the variate is defined as the firstmoment of the probability distribution about 119909 = 0 and the119903th moment about mean of the probability distribution isdefined as 119864(119909
119894minus 119909)119903 where 119909 is the mean of the distribution
Also 119864(119909) shows the expected value of the variate 119909 andis defined as the first moment of the probability distributionabout 119909 = 0 that is

2 Main Results 119896-Gamma and119896-Beta Distributions
In this section we define gamma and beta distributions interms of a new parameter 119896 gt 0 and discuss some propertiesof these distributions in terms of 119896
Definition 1 Let 119885 be a continuous random variable then itis said to have a 119896-gamma distributionwith parameters119898 gt 0

Proposition 2 The newly defined Γ119896(119898) distribution satisfies
the following properties
(i) The 119896-gamma distribution is the probability distribu-tion that is area under the curve is unity
(ii) The mean of 119896-gamma distribution is equal to aparameter119898
(iii) The variance of 119896-gamma distribution is equal to theproduct of two parameters119898119896
Proof of (i) Using the definition of 119896-gamma distributionalong with the relation (10) we have

(30)
Proof of (ii) Asmean of a distribution is the expected value ofthe variate so the mean of the 119896-gamma distribution is givenby

Γ119896(119898)
= 119898Γ119896(119898)
Γ119896(119898)
= 119898
(32)
Proof of (iii) As variance of a distribution is equal to 119864(1199092) minus(119864(119909))
2 so the variance of 119896-gamma distribution is calculatedas
Var119896(119885) = 119864
119896(1198852
) minus (119864119896(119885))2
(33)
Now we have to find 119864119896(1198852

= 119898 (119898 + 119896)
(34)
Thus we obtain the variance of 119896-gamma distribution as
1205902
119896= 119898 (119898 + 119896) minus 119898
2
= 119898119896 (35)
where 1205902119896is the notation of variance present in the literature

Let 119906 = 119911(1minus119896119905)1119896 so that 119911 = 119906(1minus119896119905)
1119896 and 119889119911 = 119889119906(1minus

Now differentiating 119903 times 1198720119896(119905) with respect to 119905 and
putting 119905 = 0 we get

4 Conclusion
In this paper the authors conclude that we have the following
(i) If 119896 tends to 1 then 119896-gamma distribution and 119896-beta distribution tend to classical gamma and betadistribution
(ii) The authors also conclude that the area of 119896-gammadistribution and 119896-beta distribution for each positivevalue of 119896 is one and theirmean is equal to a parameter119898 and 119898(119898 + 119899) respectively The variance of 119896-gamma distribution for each positive value of 119896 isequal to 119896 times of the parameter 119898 In this case if119896 = 1 then it will be equal to variance of gammadistribution The variance of 119896-beta distribution foreach positive value of 119896 is also defined
(iii) In this paper the authors introduced moments gener-ating function and higher moments in terms of a newparameter 119896 gt 0

119899with corresponding
probabilities 1198751 1198752 1198753 119875
119899 then this collection is called
probability distribution andΣ119901119894= 1 (in case of discrete distri-
butions) Also if119891(119909) is a continuous probability distributionfunction defined on an interval [119886 119887] then int119887

119891(119909)119889119909 = 1In statistics there are three types of moments which are
(i) moments about any point 119909 = 119886 (ii) moments about119909 = 0 and (iii) moments about mean position of the givendata Also expected value of the variate is defined as the firstmoment of the probability distribution about 119909 = 0 and the119903th moment about mean of the probability distribution isdefined as 119864(119909
119894minus 119909)119903 where 119909 is the mean of the distribution
Also 119864(119909) shows the expected value of the variate 119909 andis defined as the first moment of the probability distributionabout 119909 = 0 that is

2 Main Results 119896-Gamma and119896-Beta Distributions
In this section we define gamma and beta distributions interms of a new parameter 119896 gt 0 and discuss some propertiesof these distributions in terms of 119896

Proposition 2 The newly defined Γ119896(119898) distribution satisfies
the following properties
(i) The 119896-gamma distribution is the probability distribu-tion that is area under the curve is unity
(ii) The mean of 119896-gamma distribution is equal to aparameter119898
(iii) The variance of 119896-gamma distribution is equal to theproduct of two parameters119898119896

(30)
Proof of (ii) Asmean of a distribution is the expected value ofthe variate so the mean of the 119896-gamma distribution is givenby

Γ119896(119898)
= 119898
(32)
Proof of (iii) As variance of a distribution is equal to 119864(1199092) minus(119864(119909))
2 so the variance of 119896-gamma distribution is calculatedas
Var119896(119885) = 119864
119896(1198852
) minus (119864119896(119885))2
(33)
Now we have to find 119864119896(1198852

Thus we obtain the variance of 119896-gamma distribution as

119896= 119898 (119898 + 119896) minus 119898

where 1205902119896is the notation of variance present in the literature

1119896 and 119889119911 = 119889119906(1minus

4 Conclusion
In this paper the authors conclude that we have the following
(i) If 119896 tends to 1 then 119896-gamma distribution and 119896-beta distribution tend to classical gamma and betadistribution
(ii) The authors also conclude that the area of 119896-gammadistribution and 119896-beta distribution for each positivevalue of 119896 is one and theirmean is equal to a parameter119898 and 119898(119898 + 119899) respectively The variance of 119896-gamma distribution for each positive value of 119896 isequal to 119896 times of the parameter 119898 In this case if119896 = 1 then it will be equal to variance of gammadistribution The variance of 119896-beta distribution foreach positive value of 119896 is also defined
(iii) In this paper the authors introduced moments gener-ating function and higher moments in terms of a newparameter 119896 gt 0

Proposition 2 The newly defined Γ119896(119898) distribution satisfies
the following properties
(i) The 119896-gamma distribution is the probability distribu-tion that is area under the curve is unity
(ii) The mean of 119896-gamma distribution is equal to aparameter119898
(iii) The variance of 119896-gamma distribution is equal to theproduct of two parameters119898119896

(30)
Proof of (ii) Asmean of a distribution is the expected value ofthe variate so the mean of the 119896-gamma distribution is givenby

= 119898Γ119896(119898)
Γ119896(119898)
= 119898
(32)
Proof of (iii) As variance of a distribution is equal to 119864(1199092) minus(119864(119909))
2 so the variance of 119896-gamma distribution is calculatedas
Var119896(119885) = 119864
119896(1198852
) minus (119864119896(119885))2
(33)
Now we have to find 119864119896(1198852

Thus we obtain the variance of 119896-gamma distribution as

119896= 119898 (119898 + 119896) minus 119898

where 1205902119896is the notation of variance present in the literature

Let 119906 = 119911(1minus119896119905)1119896 so that 119911 = 119906(1minus119896119905)
1119896 and 119889119911 = 119889119906(1minus

Now differentiating 119903 times 1198720119896(119905) with respect to 119905 and
putting 119905 = 0 we get

4 Conclusion
In this paper the authors conclude that we have the following
(i) If 119896 tends to 1 then 119896-gamma distribution and 119896-beta distribution tend to classical gamma and betadistribution
(ii) The authors also conclude that the area of 119896-gammadistribution and 119896-beta distribution for each positivevalue of 119896 is one and theirmean is equal to a parameter119898 and 119898(119898 + 119899) respectively The variance of 119896-gamma distribution for each positive value of 119896 isequal to 119896 times of the parameter 119898 In this case if119896 = 1 then it will be equal to variance of gammadistribution The variance of 119896-beta distribution foreach positive value of 119896 is also defined

Let 119906 = 119911(1minus119896119905)1119896 so that 119911 = 119906(1minus119896119905)
1119896 and 119889119911 = 119889119906(1minus

Now differentiating 119903 times 1198720119896(119905) with respect to 119905 and

4 Conclusion
In this paper the authors conclude that we have the following
(i) If 119896 tends to 1 then 119896-gamma distribution and 119896-beta distribution tend to classical gamma and betadistribution
(ii) The authors also conclude that the area of 119896-gammadistribution and 119896-beta distribution for each positivevalue of 119896 is one and theirmean is equal to a parameter119898 and 119898(119898 + 119899) respectively The variance of 119896-gamma distribution for each positive value of 119896 isequal to 119896 times of the parameter 119898 In this case if119896 = 1 then it will be equal to variance of gammadistribution The variance of 119896-beta distribution foreach positive value of 119896 is also defined
(iii) In this paper the authors introduced moments gener-ating function and higher moments in terms of a newparameter 119896 gt 0

the above equation we get the desired result
4 Conclusion
In this paper the authors conclude that we have the following
(i) If 119896 tends to 1 then 119896-gamma distribution and 119896-beta distribution tend to classical gamma and betadistribution
(ii) The authors also conclude that the area of 119896-gammadistribution and 119896-beta distribution for each positivevalue of 119896 is one and theirmean is equal to a parameter119898 and 119898(119898 + 119899) respectively The variance of 119896-gamma distribution for each positive value of 119896 isequal to 119896 times of the parameter 119898 In this case if119896 = 1 then it will be equal to variance of gammadistribution The variance of 119896-beta distribution foreach positive value of 119896 is also defined
(iii) In this paper the authors introduced moments gener-ating function and higher moments in terms of a newparameter 119896 gt 0
