# Mielke’s Beta-Kappa Distribution

A generalized F distribution. Two shape parameters \(\kappa\) and \(\theta\), with support \(x\geq0\). The \(\beta\) in the DATAPLOT reference is a scale parameter.

\begin{eqnarray*} f\left(x;\kappa,\theta\right) & = & \frac{\kappa x^{\kappa-1}}{\left(1+x^{\theta}\right)^{1+\frac{\kappa}{\theta}}}\\ F\left(x;\kappa,\theta\right) & = & \frac{x^{\kappa}}{\left(1+x^{\theta}\right)^{\kappa/\theta}}\\ G\left(q;\kappa,\theta\right) & = & \left(\frac{q^{\theta/\kappa}}{1-q^{\theta/\kappa}}\right)^{1/\theta}\end{eqnarray*}
