Abstract
A new characterization of the Dirichlet distribution using neutrality is given. This settles conjectures of Doksum and Mosimann. The characterization is contrasted with a parallel result for the lognormal distribution. Possible applications to random probabilities and prior distributions in survival analysis are noted.
