Hi,
I've been trying to understand how the Beta.dist function works in MS Excel. The MS Office help says that Beta.dist returns the beta cumulative distribution function. The FALSE of the function gives the probability density function while the TRUE give the cumulative distribution function. However, am getting the the value of the PDF using this function to be 101.85% and 12741.07% considering x to be 49% and 50% respectively. So, the area under the PDF > 100% which seems absurd. My alpha = 16995.922 and beta = 17095.415. When I take the CDF using the function am getting 0.08% and 70.50% for 49% and 50% respectively. If I calculate the PDF at 50%, it comes to 70.42% and the area under my curve sums upto 100%. Could anyone please help? Kind of urgent! sudeshna -- Are you =EXP(E:RT) or =NOT(EXP(E:RT)) in Excel?
