            B_x(a,b)    Integral(0,x) t**(a-1) (1-t)**(b-1) dt
I_x(a,b) = --------- = ---------------------------------------

Namespace: Altaxo.Calc
Assembly: AltaxoCore (in AltaxoCore.dll) Version: 4.8.3179.0 (4.8.3179.0)
Syntax
C#
Copy
public static double BetaIR(
	double x,
	double a,
	double b,
	bool bDebug
)

Parameters

x  Double
upper limit of integration. x must be in (0,1) inclusive.
a  Double
first beta distribution parameter. a must be > 0.
b  Double
second beta distribution parameter. b must be > 0.
bDebug  Boolean
If true, an exception is thrown if serious errors occur. If false, NaN is returned on errors.

Return Value

Double
The incomplete beta function ratio.
Remarks
C#
Copy
The incomplete beta function ratio is the probability that a
random variable from a beta distribution having parameters a and b
will be less than or equal to x.
