Products of independent beta random variables appear in a large number of problems in multivariate statistical analysis. In this paper we show how a convenient factorial expansion of gamma ratios can be suitably used in deriving the exact density for a product of independent beta random variables. Possible applications of this result for obtaining the exact densities of the likelihood ratio criteria for testing hypotheses in the multinormal case are also pointed out. For the sake of...
