In this paper we derive a k ‐variate inverted Dirichlet distribution, D ('v 1 ,v 2 , ···, v k ; v k+1 ) by a theorem related to k+1 independent random variables having gamma distributions with different parameters v 1 ,v 2 , ···, v k+1 but with the same scale parameter, say 1. A number of results for a k ‐variate inverted Dirichlet distribution are proved and it is shown that one may deduce a k ‐dimensional multivariate logistic distribution from a k ‐variate inverted Dirichlet distribution.
