The beta prime distribution is also called the inverted
beta or the beta distribution of the second kind or the Pearson
Type 6 distribution. The mode of the beta prime distribution is  . There is no simple
closed form expression for its median.
Its non-central moments (for integral  )
are:

Nematrian web functions
Functions relating to the above distribution may be accessed
via the Nematrian
web function library by using a DistributionName of “beta prime”.
Functions relating to a generalised version of this distribution including
additional location (i.e. shift) and scale parameters may be accessed by using
a DistributionName of “beta prime4”, see also including
additional shift and scale parameters. For details of other supported probability
distributions see here.
