class Beta(exponential_family.ExponentialFamily):
    r"""
    Beta distribution parameterized by alpha and beta.

    In probability theory and statistics, the beta distribution is a family of 
    continuous probability distributions defined on the interval [0, 1] 
    parameterized by two positive shape parameters, denoted by alpha and beta, 
    that appear as exponents of the random variable and control the shape of 
    the distribution. The generalization to multiple variables is called a 
    Dirichlet distribution.

    The probability density function (pdf) is

    .. math::

        f(x; \alpha, \beta) = \frac{1}{B(\alpha, \beta)}x^{\alpha-1}(1-x)^{\beta-1}

    where the normalization, B, is the beta function,

    .. math::

        B(\alpha, \beta) = \int_{0}^{1} t^{\alpha - 1} (1-t)^{\beta - 1}\mathrm{d}t 


    Args:
        alpha (float|Tensor): Alpha parameter. It supports broadcast semantics. 
            The value of alpha must be positive. When the parameter is a tensor, 
            it represents multiple independent distribution with 
            a batch_shape(refer to ``Distribution`` ).
        beta (float|Tensor): Beta parameter. It supports broadcast semantics. 
            The value of beta must be positive(>0). When the parameter is tensor, 
            it represent multiple independent distribution with 
            a batch_shape(refer to ``Distribution`` ). 

    Examples:

        .. code-block:: python

            import paddle

            # scale input
            beta = paddle.distribution.Beta(alpha=0.5, beta=0.5)
            print(beta.mean)
            # Tensor(shape=[1], dtype=float32, place=CUDAPlace(0), stop_gradient=True,
            #        [0.50000000])
            print(beta.variance)
            # Tensor(shape=[1], dtype=float32, place=CUDAPlace(0), stop_gradient=True,
            #        [0.12500000])
            print(beta.entropy())
            # Tensor(shape=[1], dtype=float32, place=CUDAPlace(0), stop_gradient=True,
            #        [0.12500000])

            # tensor input with broadcast
            beta = paddle.distribution.Beta(alpha=paddle.to_tensor([0.2, 0.4]), beta=0.6)
            print(beta.mean)
