Function Reference: betainv

statistics: x = betainv (p, a, b)

Inverse of the Beta distribution (iCDF).

For each element of p, compute the quantile (the inverse of the CDF) of the Beta distribution with shape parameters a and b. The size of x 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.

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

 x2 = betainv (p, 5, 1);
 x3 = betainv (p, 1, 3);
 x4 = betainv (p, 2, 2);
 x5 = betainv (p, 2, 5);
