§8.23 Statistical Applications
The functions P ( a , x ) and Q ( a , x ) are used extensively in statistics as the probability integrals of the gamma distribution; see Johnson et al. (1994, pp. 337–414). …The function B x ( a , b ) and its normalization I x ( a , b ) play a similar role in statistics in connection with the beta distribution; see Johnson et al. (1995, pp. 210–275). In queueing theory the Erlang loss function is used, which can be expressed in terms of the reciprocal of Q ( a , x ) ; see Jagerman (1974) and Cooper (1981, pp. 80, 316–319).
