Modeling Minimal Spanning Trees with Beta Vectors

<p>We examine methods of generating beta random vectors to model the normalized interpoint distances on the minimal spanning tree (MST). Using properties of the univariate beta distribution, we propose three methods for generating multivariate beta vectors. We use overlapping sums of the compo...
