Beta function.

The Beta function, also called the Euler integral, is defined as

It is related to the Gamma function via the following equation

Installation

$ npm install math-beta

Usage

var beta = require( 'math-beta' );

beta( x, y )

Evaluates the the Beta function.

var val = beta( 0, 0 );
// returns +Infinity

val = beta( 1, 1 );
// returns 1

val = beta( -1, 2 );
// return NaN

val = beta( 5, 0.2 );
// returns ~3.382

val = beta( 4, 1 );
// returns 0.25

Examples

var beta = require( 'math-beta' );

for ( var x = 0; x < 10; x++ ) {
	for ( var y = 10; y > 0; y-- ) {
		console.log( 'x: %d, \t y: %d, \t f(x,y): %d', x, y, beta( x, y ) );
	}
}

Tests

Unit

This repository uses tape for unit tests. To run the tests, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:
