Abstract
Explicit algebraic expressions are derived for computing the means, variances and the covariances of the record values from a beta distribution. The derivation uses a representation theorem due to Bairamov and Ahsanullah (2000) and a series expansion for the inverse function of the standard beta cdf. The results generalize those presented in Nadarajah and Ahsanullah (2004) for the arc-sine distribution.
