function y = betapdf(x,a,b)
%BETAPDF Beta probability density function.
%   Y = BETAPDF(X,A,B) returns the beta probability density 
%   function with parameters A and B at the values in X.
%
%   The size of Y is the common size of the input arguments. A scalar input  
%   functions as a constant matrix of the same size as the other inputs.
