For positive integers α,β, the αth order statistic from α+β−1 independent uniform distributions on (0,1) has Beta distribution Beta(α,β). Selecting the observations below and above a value u gives its probability density function proportional to uα−1(1−u)β−1, with normalizing factor (α+β−1)!/((α−1)!(β−1)!).
