A new approximation to the incomplete beta function

A new approximation to the incomplete beta function is proposed. This approximation compares favourably well with the Mudholkar-Chaubey (1976) approximation and it is infact superior for equal degrees of freedom. Moreover' it is simpler to evaluate.
