# scipy.special.bdtrc

`scipy.special.``bdtrc`(k, n, p) = <ufunc 'bdtrc'>

  Binomial distribution survival function.

  Sum of the terms k + 1 through n of the binomial probability density,

  \[\mathrm{bdtrc}(k, n, p) = \sum_{j=k+1}^n {{n}\choose{j}} p^j (1-p)^{n-j}\]

  Parameters: | k : array_like Number of successes (int). n : array_like Number of events (int) p : array_like Probability of success in a single event.
  Returns: | y : ndarray Probability of k + 1 or more successes in n independent events with success probabilities of p.

  Notes

  The terms are not summed directly; instead the regularized incomplete beta function is employed, according to the formula,

  \[\mathrm{bdtrc}(k, n, p) = I_{p}(k + 1, n - k).\]

  Wrapper for the Cephes [R372] routine `bdtrc`.
