MORE INFORMATION
Mathematical function, suitable for both symbolic and numerical manipulation.
For nonsingular cases,
.
BetaRegularized
gives the generalized regularized incomplete beta function defined in nonsingular cases as

.
Note that the arguments in
BetaRegularized
are arranged differently from those in
GammaRegularized
.
For certain special arguments,
BetaRegularized
automatically evaluates to exact values.
BetaRegularized
can be evaluated to arbitrary numerical precision.
BetaRegularized
automatically threads over lists.
