scipy.special.btdtri¶
- scipy.special.btdtri(a, b, p) = <ufunc 'btdtri'>¶
The p-th quantile of the beta distribution.
This function is the inverse of the beta cumulative distribution function, btdtr, returning the value of x for which btdtr(a, b, x) = p, or
p=∫x0Γ(a+b)Γ(a)Γ(b)ta−1(1−t)b−1dtParameters: a : array_like
Shape parameter (a > 0).
b : array_like
Shape parameter (b > 0).
p : array_like
Cumulative probability, in [0, 1].
Returns: x : ndarray
The quantile corresponding to p.

Notes
The value of x is found by interval halving or Newton iterations.
Wrapper for the Cephes [R329] routine incbi, which solves the equivalent problem of finding the inverse of the incomplete beta integral.
