Statistics: betainv

### 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

### Example: 1

     ## Plot various iCDFs from the Beta distribution
     p = 0.001:0.001:0.999;
     x1 = betainv (p, 0.5, 0.5);
     x2 = betainv (p, 5, 1);
     x3 = betainv (p, 1, 3);
     x4 = betainv (p, 2, 2);
     x5 = betainv (p, 2, 5);
     plot (p, x1, "-b", p, x2, "-g", p, x3, "-r", p, x4, "-c", p, x5, "-m")
     grid on
     legend ({"α = β = 0.5", "α = 5, β = 1", "α = 1, β = 3", ...
              "α = 2, β = 2", "α = 2, β = 5"}, "location", "southeast")
