    stats_cdf_beta — Calculates any one parameter of the beta distribution given values for the others

    Description

    stats_cdf_beta(
        float $par1,
        float $par2,
        float $par3,
        int $which
    ): float

    Returns the cumulative distribution function, its inverse, or one of its parameters, of the beta distribution. The kind of the return value and parameters (par1, par2, and par3) are determined by which.

    The following table lists the return value and parameters by which. CDF, x, alpha, and beta denotes cumulative distribution function, the value of the random variable, and shape parameters of the beta distribution, respectively.

    Return value and parameters
    which Return value par1 par2 par3
    1 CDF x alpha beta
    2 x CDF alpha beta
    3 alpha x CDF beta
    4 beta x CDF alpha

    Decided to dive into the source code and provide a simple explanation:

    Parameters:
    int $which - Select which parameter to use in the CDF Binomial calculation, based on what the prior 3 parameters are.

    where $which is 4:
    $arg1 = p
    $arg2 = sn
    $arg3 = xn
    returns pr

    $which = 3
    $arg1 = p
    $arg2 = sn
    $arg3 = pr
    returns xn

    $which = 2
    $arg1 = p
    $arg2 = xn
    $arg3 = pr
    returns sn

    $which = 1
    $arg1 = sn
    $arg2 = xn
    $arg3 = pr
    returns p
