statistics: p = betacdf (x, a, b)
statistics: p = betacdf (x, a, b, "upper")

Beta cumulative distribution function (CDF).

For each element of x, compute the cumulative distribution function of the Beta distribution with shape parameters a and b. The size of p is the common size of x, a, and b. A scalar input functions as a constant matrix of the same size as the other inputs.

p = betacdf (x, a, b, "upper") computes the upper tail probability of the Beta distribution with parameters a and b, at the values in x.

Further information about the Beta distribution can be found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_distribution

 p2 = betacdf (x, 5, 1);
 p3 = betacdf (x, 1, 3);
 p4 = betacdf (x, 2, 2);
 p5 = betacdf (x, 2, 5);
