To calculate the probability of a beta distribution in MATLAB, you can use the betapdf
function to calculate the probability density function (PDF), and betacdf
to calculate the cumulative distribution function (CDF).
Here is an example code snippet that calculates the PDF and CDF for a beta distribution with parameters a = 5
and b = 2
, and evaluates the PDF and CDF at the value x = 0.5
.
main.m484 chars17 lines
This code will output:
main.m76 chars3 lines
This means that the probability of x
being exactly 0.5
is 1.875
when evaluated using the PDF, and the probability of x
being less than or equal to 0.5
is 0.96875
when evaluated using the CDF.
