statistics: p = burrcdf (x, lambda, c, k)
statistics: p = burrcdf (x, lambda, c, k, 'upper')

Burr type XII cumulative distribution function (CDF).

For each element of x, compute the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the Burr type XII distribution with scale parameter lambda, first shape parameter c, and second shape parameter k. The size of p is the common size of x, lambda, c, and k. A scalar input functions as a constant matrix of the same size as the other inputs.

p = burrcdf (x, lambda, c, k, "upper") computes the upper tail probability of the Burr type XII distribution with parameters lambda, c and k, at the values in x.

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

Input arguments must be double or single; integer, logical, and character arrays are rejected. MATLAB accepts a character array and evaluates it at the character codes, which Octave deliberately does not, since a character array is an integer type and integers are refused too.
