Use BETAI to calculate the incomplete beta function. The incomplete beta function is defined by:
 BETAI
Syntax
SELECT [wctStatistics].[wct].[BETAI] (
   <@A, float,>
 ,<@B, float,>
 ,<@X, float,>)
Arguments
@A
is any real number greater than or equal to zero. @A is an expression of type float or of a type that can be implicitly converted to float@A is the lower bound to the distribution. If you enter NULL, @A defaults to zero
@B
is any real number greater than or equal to zero. @B is an expression of type float or of a type that can be implicitly converted to float.   @B is the upper bound to the distribution. If you enter NULL @B defaults to to zero.

Remarks
·         If @A ≤ 0 or @B ≤ 0, BETAI returns an error.
·         If @X < 0 or @X > 1, BETAI returns an error.
·         @X = 0 or @X = 1, BETAI = @X
·         BETAI(@A, @B, @X) = BETADIST(@X, @A, @B, 0, 1)
