BETA.INV function

The BETA.INV function returns the value of the inverse beta distribution function for a given probability.

Parts of a BETA.INV function

BETA.INV(probability, alpha, beta, lower_bound, upper_bound)

Part Description Notes
probability The probability at which to evaluate the function. Must be between 0 and 1, inclusive.
alpha The first shape parameter of the distribution. Must be positive.
beta The second shape parameter of the distribution. Must be positive.
lower_bound Lower bound of the original beta distribution’s domain. Default value is 1.
upper-bound Upper bound of the original beta distributions’s domain. Default value is 1.

Sample formulas

BETA.INV(0.65,1.234,7,1,3)
BETA.INV(0.3,5,1)
BETA.INV(A4,3,2,-1,1)

Example

If you want to know the value of inverse cumulative beta function at probability 0.13, parameterize it by alpha = 5, beta = 1, and domain [-1, 1].
