This web page states:

Does this satisfy Octave rules?

If so, it might make sense to take a look at whole set of:

ASA063 a MATLAB library which evaluates the incomplete Beta function.

ASA226 is a MATLAB library which evaluates the CDF of the noncentral Beta distribution.

ASA310 is a MATLAB library which computes the CDF of the noncentral Beta distribution.

Note: This one, from the web site, not from Statlib, looks like a good choice.  I am surprised
that there are typos in the other versions. The AS review and testing used to be pretty good...

BETA_NC is a MATLAB library which evaluates the CDF of the noncentral Beta distribution.

TEST_VALUES is a MATLAB library which stores a few values of various mathematical functions.

TOMS179 is a MATLAB library which evaluates the incomplete Beta function.
