Beta prime distribution.
npm install @stdlib/stats-base-dists-betaprimeWe believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js. The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases. When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there. To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

#### betaprime
Beta prime distribution.
`javascript`
var dist = betaprime;
// returns {...}
The namespace contains the following distribution functions:
- [cdf( x, alpha, beta )][@stdlib/stats/base/dists/betaprime/cdf]: beta prime distribution cumulative distribution function.
- [logcdf( x, alpha, beta )][@stdlib/stats/base/dists/betaprime/logcdf]: evaluate the natural logarithm of the cumulative distribution function for a beta prime distribution.
- [logpdf( x, alpha, beta )][@stdlib/stats/base/dists/betaprime/logpdf]: beta prime distribution logarithm of probability density function (PDF).
- [pdf( x, alpha, beta )][@stdlib/stats/base/dists/betaprime/pdf]: beta prime distribution probability density function (PDF).
- [quantile( p, alpha, beta )][@stdlib/stats/base/dists/betaprime/quantile]: beta prime distribution quantile function.
The namespace contains the following functions for calculating distribution properties:
- [kurtosis( alpha, beta )][@stdlib/stats/base/dists/betaprime/kurtosis]: beta prime distribution excess kurtosis.
- [mean( alpha, beta )][@stdlib/stats/base/dists/betaprime/mean]: beta prime distribution expected value.
- [mode( alpha, beta )][@stdlib/stats/base/dists/betaprime/mode]: beta prime distribution mode.
- [skewness( alpha, beta )][@stdlib/stats/base/dists/betaprime/skewness]: beta prime distribution skewness.
- [stdev( alpha, beta )][@stdlib/stats/base/dists/betaprime/stdev]: beta prime distribution standard deviation.
- [variance( alpha, beta )][@stdlib/stats/base/dists/betaprime/variance]: beta prime distribution variance.
The namespace contains a constructor function for creating a [betaprime][betaprime-distribution] distribution object.
- [BetaPrime( [alpha, beta] )][@stdlib/stats/base/dists/betaprime/ctor]: beta prime distribution constructor.
