    The function <VERB>mtlb_beta(A,B)</VERB> is used by

    <VERB>mfile2sci</VERB> to replace <VERB>beta(A,B)</VERB> when it was not

    possible to know what were the inputs while porting Matlab code to Scilab. This function will

    determine the correct semantic at run time. If you want to have a
 
34
    more efficient code it is possible to replace <VERB>mtlb_beta</VERB> calls:
