Abstract
An extension of Euler's beta function, analogous to the recent generalization of Euler's gamma function and Riemann's zeta function, for which the usual properties and representation are naturally and simply extended, is introduced. It is proved that the extension is connected to the Macdonald, error and Whittaker functions. In addition, the extended beta distribution is introduced.
