Beta
Beta
[
a

]
gives the Euler beta function
.
Beta
[
z
,
a
,
b
]
gives the incomplete beta function
.
MORE INFORMATION
Mathematical function, suitable for both symbolic and numerical manipulation.
.
.
Beta
[
z
,
a
,
b
]
has a branch cut discontinuity in the complex
plane running from
to
.
Beta
[
z
0
,
z
1
,
a
,
b
]
gives the generalized incomplete beta function
.
Note that the arguments in the incomplete form of
Beta
are arranged differently from those in the incomplete form of
Gamma
.
For certain special arguments,
Beta
automatically evaluates to exact values.
Beta
can be evaluated to arbitrary numerical precision.
Beta
automatically threads over lists.
In
TraditionalForm
,
Beta
is output using
\[CapitalBeta]
.
