WorksheetFunction.Beta_Inv (Excel)

Returns the inverse of the cumulative distribution function for a specified beta distribution. That is, if probability = Beta_Dist(x,...), then Beta_Inv(probability,...

The beta distribution can be used in project planning to model probable completion times given an expected completion time and variability. If any argument is nonnumeric, Beta_Inv generates an error value. If alpha ≤ 0 or beta ≤ 0, Beta_Inv generates an error value. If probability ≤ 0 or probability > 1, Beta_Inv generates an error value. If you omit values for A and B (lower and upper bound), Beta_Inv uses the standard cumulative beta distribution, so that A = 0 and B = 1. Given a value for probability, Beta_Inv seeks that value x such that Beta_Dist(x, alpha, beta, TRUE, A, B) = probability. Thus, the precision of Beta_Inv depends on the precision of Beta_Dist. Beta_Inv uses an iterative search technique.
