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). …

4: 8.1 Special Notation
Unless otherwise indicated, primes denote derivatives with respect to the argument. The functions treated in this chapter are the incomplete gamma functions γ ( a , z ) , Γ ( a , z ) , γ ( a , z ) , P ( a , z ) , and Q ( a , z ) ; the incomplete beta functions B x ( a , b ) and I x ( a , b ) ; the generalized exponential integral E p ( z ) ; the generalized sine and cosine integrals si ( a , z ) , ci ( a , z ) , Si ( a , z ) , and Ci ( a , z ) . Alternative notations include: Prym’s functions P z ( a ) = γ ( a , z ) , Q z ( a ) = Γ ( a , z ) , Nielsen (1906a, pp. 25–26), Batchelder (1967, p. 63); ( a , z ) ! = γ ( a + 1 , z ) , [ a , z ] ! = Γ ( a + 1 , z ) , Dingle (1973); B ( a , b , x ) = B x ( a , b ) , I ( a , b , x ) = I x ( a , b ) , Magnus et al. (1966); Si ( a , x ) Si ( 1 a , x ) , Ci ( a , x ) Ci ( 1 a , x ) , Luke (1975).
