[ncl-talk] Help in using betainc function

[Dennis Shea]

*http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/betainc.shtml*
<http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/betainc.shtml>

See Example 2

  df   = 20
  tval = 2.08
  prob = *betainc*( df/(df+tval^2), df/2.0, 0.5)

So: x = df/(df+tval^2)
    a = df/2.0
    b = 0.5

As noted in the "Description" section.

This returns the same results as in the "Numerical Recipes" text.

Good luck
