Use BETA to calculate the beta function. This is equivalent of Beta[a, b] in Mathematica. Also called the Euler integral, the BETA function is defined by
The beta function is symmetric, meaning
Syntax
SELECT [wctStatistics].[wct].[BETA] (
<@A, float,>
,<@B, float,>)
Arguments
@A
is any real number. @A is an expression of type float or of a type that can be implicitly converted to float.
@B
is any real number. @B is an expression of type float or of a type that can be implicitly converted to float.
Return Types
float
Remarks
· If @A ≤ 0, BETA returns an error.
· If @B ≤ 0, BETA returns an error.
Examples
SELECT wct.BETA(7.5, 1.5)
This produces the following result
