MathProbabilityDensityBeta

Calculates the value of the probability density function of beta distribution with the a and b parameters for a random variable x. In case of error it returns NaN.

double  MathProbabilityDensityBeta(
   const double  x,             // value of random variable
   const double  a,             // the first parameter of beta distribution (shape1)
   const double  b,             // the second parameter of beta distribution (shape2)
   const bool    log_mode,      // calculate the logarithm of the value, if log_mode=true, then the natural logarithm of the probability density is calculated
   int&          error_code     // variable to store the error code
   );

Parameters

x

[in]  Value of random variable.

x[]

[in]  Array with the values of random variable.

a

[in]  The first parameter of beta distribution (shape 1).

b

[in]  The second parameter of beta distribution (shape 2)

log_mode

[in]  Flag to calculate the logarithm of the value. If log_mode=true, then the natural logarithm of the probability density is returned.
