dbeta(x, a, b)
pbeta(q, a, b)
qbeta(p, a, b)
rbeta(n, a, b)

Description

These functions provide information about the Beta distribution with parameters a and b. dbeta gives the density, pbeta the distribution function, qbeta the quantile function and rbeta generates random deviates.

The Beta distribution has density
