A probability measure on the real line whose density is zero outside the interval 
and is 
if 
. The corresponding distribution function is equal to 
for 
.
The generalized arcsine distribution is employed together with the arcsine distribution. To the generalized arcsine distribution corresponds the distribution function 
with density
 |
if 
. The density 
coincides with the density of the arcsine distribution. The generalized arcsine distribution is a special case of the beta-distribution. The first-order moment of the generalized arcsine distribution is 
, and its variance is 
. The arcsine distribution and the generalized arcsine distribution occur in the study of the fluctuations of random walks, in renewal theory (cf. Arcsine law), and are used in mathematical statistics as special cases of the beta-distribution.
