scipy.special.bdtrin#
- scipy.special.bdtrin(k, y, p, out=None) = <ufunc 'bdtrin'>#
Inverse function to
bdtr
with respect to n.Finds the number of events n such that the sum of the terms 0 through k of the Binomial probability density for events with probability p is equal to the given cumulative probability y.
- Parameters:
- karray_like
Number of successes (float).
- yarray_like
Cumulative probability (probability of k or fewer successes in n events).
- parray_like
Success probability (float).
- outndarray, optional
Optional output array for the function values
- Returns:
- nscalar or ndarray
The number of events n such that bdtr(k, n, p) = y.

Notes
Formula 26.5.24 of [1] is used to reduce the binomial distribution to the cumulative incomplete beta distribution.
Computation of n involves a search for a value that produces the desired value of y. The search relies on the monotonicity of y with n.
