AdvancedMathBeta Method (Double, Double, Double)

public static double Beta(
	double a,
	double b,
	double x
)

Public Shared Function Beta ( 
	a As Double,
	b As Double,
	x As Double
) As Double

public:
static double Beta(
	double a, 
	double b, 
	double x
)

static member Beta : 
        a : float * 
        b : float * 
        x : float -> float 

Parameters

a

Type: SystemDouble
The left shape parameter, which must be non-negative.

b

Type: SystemDouble
The right shape parameter, which must be non-negative.

x

Type: SystemDouble
The integral endpoint, which must lie in [0,1].

Return Value

This function is defined by the same integral that defines the Beta function (Beta(Double, Double), but with the integral taken from 0 to x instead of from 0 to 1.

Note that in most mathematical literature, x is regarded as the first argument. We, however, follow the programming convention that optional arguments follow required ones, so x is the last argument of the method.

If you require the regularized function, use LeftRegularizedBeta(Double, Double, Double) to obtain it directly.
