## Usage
```javascript
var beta = require( '@stdlib/stats/base/dists/beta' );
```
#### beta
[Beta][beta-distribution] distribution.
```javascript
var dist = beta;
// returns {...}
```
The namespace contains the following distribution functions:
- [`cdf( x, alpha, beta )`][@stdlib/stats/base/dists/beta/cdf]: beta distribution cumulative distribution function.
- [`logcdf( x, alpha, beta )`][@stdlib/stats/base/dists/beta/logcdf]: beta distribution logarithm of cumulative distribution function.
- [`logpdf( x, alpha, beta )`][@stdlib/stats/base/dists/beta/logpdf]: beta distribution logarithm of probability density function (PDF).
- [`mgf( t, alpha, beta )`][@stdlib/stats/base/dists/beta/mgf]: beta distribution moment-generating function (MGF).
- [`pdf( x, alpha, beta )`][@stdlib/stats/base/dists/beta/pdf]: beta distribution probability density function (PDF).
- [`quantile( p, alpha, beta )`][@stdlib/stats/base/dists/beta/quantile]: beta distribution quantile function.
The namespace contains the following functions for calculating distribution properties:
- [`entropy( alpha, beta )`][@stdlib/stats/base/dists/beta/entropy]: beta distribution differential entropy.
- [`kurtosis( alpha, beta )`][@stdlib/stats/base/dists/beta/kurtosis]: beta distribution excess kurtosis.
- [`mean( alpha, beta )`][@stdlib/stats/base/dists/beta/mean]: beta distribution expected value.
- [`median( alpha, beta )`][@stdlib/stats/base/dists/beta/median]: beta distribution median.
- [`mode( alpha, beta )`][@stdlib/stats/base/dists/beta/mode]: beta distribution mode.
- [`skewness( alpha, beta )`][@stdlib/stats/base/dists/beta/skewness]: beta distribution skewness.
- [`stdev( alpha, beta )`][@stdlib/stats/base/dists/beta/stdev]: beta distribution standard deviation.
- [`variance( alpha, beta )`][@stdlib/stats/base/dists/beta/variance]: beta distribution variance.
The namespace contains a constructor function for creating a [beta][beta-distribution] distribution object.
- [`Beta( [alpha, beta] )`][@stdlib/stats/base/dists/beta/ctor]: beta distribution constructor.
```javascript
var Beta = require( '@stdlib/stats/base/dists/beta' ).Beta;
var dist = new Beta( 2.0, 4.0 );
var mu = dist.mean;
// returns ~0.333
