## @deftypefn  {statistics} [@var{m}, @var{v}] = betastat (@var{a}, @var{b})
##
## Compute mean and variance of the beta distribution.
##
## @subheading Arguments
##
## @itemize @bullet
## @item
## @var{a} is the first parameter of the beta distribution. @var{a} must be
## positive
##
## @item
## @var{b} is the second parameter of the beta distribution. @var{b} must be
## positive
## @end itemize
## @var{a} and @var{b} must be of common size or one of them must be scalar
##
## @subheading Return values
##
## @itemize @bullet
## @item
## @var{m} is the mean of the beta distribution
##
## @item
## @var{v} is the variance of the beta distribution
## @end itemize
##
## @subheading Examples

## @example
## @group
## a = 1:6;
## b = 1:0.2:2;
## [m, v] = betastat (a, b)
## @end group
