5 Arguments

1: $\mathbf{ltail}$ – Integer Input

On entry: the length of the array tail.

Constraint: $\mathbf{ltail}>0$.

2: $\mathbf{tail}\left[\mathbf{ltail}\right]$ – const Nag_TailProbability Input

On entry: indicates whether a lower or upper tail probabilities are required. For $j=\left(\mathit{i}-1\right)\mathrm{ mod }\mathbf{ltail}$, for $\mathit{i}=1,2,\dots ,\max (\mathbf{ltail},\mathbf{lbeta},\mathbf{la},\mathbf{lb})$:

$\mathbf{tail}\left[j\right]=\mathrm{Nag\_LowerTail}$

The lower tail probability is returned, i.e., $p_i=P(B_i\le {\beta }_i:a_i,b_i)$.

$\mathbf{tail}\left[j\right]=\mathrm{Nag\_UpperTail}$

The upper tail probability is returned, i.e., $p_i=P(B_i\ge {\beta }_i:a_i,b_i)$.

Constraint: $\mathbf{tail}\left[\mathit{j}-1\right]=\mathrm{Nag\_LowerTail}$ or $\mathrm{Nag\_UpperTail}$, for $\mathit{j}=1,2,\dots ,\mathbf{ltail}$.

3: $\mathbf{lbeta}$ – Integer Input

On entry: the length of the array beta.

Constraint: $\mathbf{lbeta}>0$.

4: $\mathbf{beta}\left[\mathbf{lbeta}\right]$ – const double Input

On entry: ${\beta }_i$, the value of the beta variate with ${\beta }_i=\mathbf{beta}\left[j\right]$, $j=(i-1)\mathrm{ mod }\mathbf{lbeta}$.

Constraint: $0.0\le \mathbf{beta}\left[\mathit{j}-1\right]\le 1.0$, for $\mathit{j}=1,2,\dots ,\mathbf{lbeta}$.

5: $\mathbf{la}$ – Integer Input

On entry: the length of the array a.

Constraint: $\mathbf{la}>0$.

6: $\mathbf{a}\left[\mathbf{la}\right]$ – const double Input

On entry: $a_i$, the first parameter of the required beta distribution with $a_i=\mathbf{a}\left[j\right]$, $j=(i-1)\mathrm{ mod }\mathbf{la}$.

Constraint: $\mathbf{a}\left[\mathit{j}-1\right]>0.0$, for $\mathit{j}=1,2,\dots ,\mathbf{la}$.

7: $\mathbf{lb}$ – Integer Input

On entry: the length of the array b.

Constraint: $\mathbf{lb}>0$.

8: $\mathbf{b}\left[\mathbf{lb}\right]$ – const double Input

On entry: $b_i$, the second parameter of the required beta distribution with $b_i=\mathbf{b}\left[j\right]$, $j=(i-1)\mathrm{ mod }\mathbf{lb}$.

Constraint: $\mathbf{b}\left[\mathit{j}-1\right]>0.0$, for $\mathit{j}=1,2,\dots ,\mathbf{lb}$.

9: $\mathbf{p}\left[\mathit{dim}\right]$ – double Output

Note: the dimension, dim, of the array p must be at least $\max (\mathbf{ltail},\mathbf{lbeta},\mathbf{la},\mathbf{lb})$.

On exit: $p_i$, the probabilities for the beta distribution.

10: $\mathbf{ivalid}\left[\mathit{dim}\right]$ – Integer Output

Note: the dimension, dim, of the array ivalid must be at least $\max (\mathbf{ltail},\mathbf{lbeta},\mathbf{la},\mathbf{lb})$.

On exit: $\mathbf{ivalid}\left[i-1\right]$ indicates any errors with the input arguments, with

$\mathbf{ivalid}\left[i-1\right]=0$

No error.

$\mathbf{ivalid}\left[i-1\right]=1$

On entry, invalid value supplied in tail when calculating $p_i$.

$\mathbf{ivalid}\left[i-1\right]=2$

On entry, ${\beta }_i<0.0$, or, ${\beta }_i>1.0$.

$\mathbf{ivalid}\left[i-1\right]=3$

On entry, $a_i\le 0.0$, or, $b_i\le 0.0$.

11: $\mathbf{fail}$ – NagError * Input/Output

The NAG error argument (see Section 7 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface).
