Generalized Dirichlet Distribution - Reduction To Standard Dirichlet Distribution

Reduction To Standard Dirichlet Distribution

As stated above, if for then the distribution reduces to a standard Dirichlet. This condition is different from the usual case, in which setting the additional parameters of the generalized distribution to zero results in the original distribution. However, in the case of the GDD, this results in a very complicated density function.
