Abstract

Exact expressions are derived for the probability density function (pdf), cumulative distribution function (cdf), shape of the pdf, asymptotics of the pdf and the cdf, Laplace transform, moment properties and the order statistics properties of the product of mm independent gamma and nn independent Pareto random variables. Computer programs are provided for computing the probability density function and the associated percentage points. Estimation issues by the methods of moments and maximum likelihood are discussed.
