A generalization of the complete beta function defined by
| (1) |
sometimes also denoted . The so-called Chebyshev integral is given by

The incomplete beta function is implemented in the Wolfram Language as Beta[z, a, b].
It is given in terms of hypergeometric functions by

It is also given by the series
