Abstract

A technique which has been used for the evaluation of certain kinds of multiple integrals, viz., the technique of imcomplete gamma function operators, is employed and extended to the case where the parameters and arguments are non-equal and non-integer for the probability integral of the inverted Dirichlet distribution. Several types of recurrence formulas have been developed for the tail probabilities and a subset selection procedure in ranking variances is discussed as an application.
