Abstract

This paper deals with a statistical technique of deriving new results on Meijer's G-function. Multiple integral as well as computable series representations are given. The method used is to derive the density of a product of independent beta-distributed random variables by using different statistical techniques, and then compare the expressions to get the desired results. The results obtained in this article do not seem to be available through standard mathematical techniques.
