Abstract
The posterior probability density function of the product of N binomial parameters is derived in closed form using the Mellin integral transform. This result, which is believed to be new, permits the computation of Bayesian confidence limits for the product of an arbitrary number of binomial parameters, and has an immediate application to problems of reliability and test of independent cescaded subsystems.Keywords
