// The Beta Distribution is a continuous probability distribution.
// The beta distribution is used to model events which are constrained to take place
// within an interval defined by maxima and minima,
// so is used extensively in PERT and other project management systems
// to describe the time to completion.
// The cdf of the beta distribution is used as a convenient way
// of obtaining the sum over a set of binomial outcomes.
// The beta distribution is also used in Bayesian statistics.
