@User Thanks! not only that but zipfR over at CRAN has a bunch of reverse funcs

Added an R plot showing the beta pdf

| Jul 26, 2021 at 12:48 | comment | added | Carl Witthoft | @soakley I bet "somewhere" there's a "reverse beta" function (or at least a series expansion) that could converge to the desired value :-) | |
| Jul 23, 2021 at 20:18 | comment | added | soakley | I've found a similar combination (74.00000000 %) with $\alpha=1.0$ and $\beta=0.146238255.$ | |
| Jul 23, 2021 at 20:13 | comment | added | Dave | I have gotten quite close ($74.00025\%$) with $\alpha = 0.9999052$ and $\beta = 0.1462295$. | |
| Jul 23, 2021 at 19:59 | comment | added | Galen | Presumably the parameters can be tweaked to obtain exactly 74%. Close enough, but feel free to revise the example to precisely match 74%. | |
