Asymptotic expansions of the inverse of the Beta distribution

In this work in progress, we study the asymptotic behaviour of the $p$-quantile of the Beta distribution, i.e. the quantity $q$ defined implicitly by $\int_0^q t^{a - 1} (1 - t)^{b - 1} \text{d} t = p B (a, b)$, as a function of the first parameter $a$. In particular, we derive asymptotic expansions...

Zusammenfassung:In this work in progress, we study the asymptotic behaviour of the $p$-quantile of the Beta distribution, i.e. the quantity $q$ defined implicitly by $\int_0^q t^{a - 1} (1 - t)^{b - 1} \text{d} t = p B (a, b)$, as a function of the first parameter $a$. In particular, we derive asymptotic expansions of and $q$ and its logarithm at $0$ and $\infty$. Moreover, we provide some relations between Bell and N{\o}rlund Polynomials, a generalisation of Bernoulli numbers. Finally, we provide Maple and Sage algorithms for computing the terms of the asymptotic expansions.
