scipy.special.btdtria¶
- scipy.special.btdtria(p, b, x) = <ufunc 'btdtria'>¶
Inverse of
btdtrwith respect to a.This is the inverse of the beta cumulative distribution function,
btdtr, considered as a function of a, returning the value of a for which btdtr(a, b, x) = p, or\[p = \int_0^x \frac{\Gamma(a + b)}{\Gamma(a)\Gamma(b)} t^{a-1} (1-t)^{b-1}\,dt\]- Parameters
- parray_like
Cumulative probability, in [0, 1].
- barray_like
Shape parameter (b > 0).
- xarray_like
The quantile, in [0, 1].
- Returns
- andarray
The value of the shape parameter a such that btdtr(a, b, x) = p.

Notes
Wrapper for the CDFLIB [1] Fortran routine cdfbet.
The cumulative distribution function p is computed using a routine by DiDinato and Morris [2]. Computation of a involves a search for a value that produces the desired value of p. The search relies on the monotonicity of p with a.
