See this proof of upper limit on standard deviation of beta distribution: https://stats.stackexchange.com/a/269804

PeturOA commented 6 years ago

Ah, but the parameter is not quite equal to the standard deviation for the beta distribution, but rather the standard deviation multiplied by sqrt(m*(1-m)), where m denotes the given mean. So, in effect, this proof does not limit the parameter to below 0.5
