Let X and Y be two random variables; then the exact distribution of the ratio X/Y is derived when X and Y are independent Bessel function random variables.

Soient X et Y deux variables aléatoires ; on en déduit la valeur du rapport X/Y dans le cas où X et Y sont des variables aléatoires dont les densités de probabilités sont de type Bessel.
