     46 ## Usage
     47 
     48 ```javascript
     49 var cdf = require( '@stdlib/stats/base/dists/arcsine/cdf' );
     50 ```
     51 
     52 #### cdf( x, a, b )
     53 
     54 Evaluates the [cumulative distribution function][cdf] (CDF) for an [arcsine][arcsine-distribution] distribution with parameters `a` (minimum support) and `b` (maximum support).
     55 
     56 ```javascript
     57 var y = cdf( 9.0, 0.0, 10.0 );
     58 // returns ~0.795
     59 
     60 y = cdf( 0.5, 0.0, 2.0 );
     61 // returns ~0.333
     62 
     63 y = cdf( -Infinity, 2.0, 4.0 );
     64 // returns 0.0
     65 
     66 y = cdf( +Infinity, 2.0, 4.0 );
     67 // returns 1.0
     68 ```
     69 
     70 If provided `NaN` as any argument, the function returns `NaN`.
     71 
     72 ```javascript
     73 var y = cdf( NaN, 0.0, 1.0 );
     74 // returns NaN
     75 
     76 y = cdf( 0.0, NaN, 1.0 );
     77 // returns NaN
     78 
     79 y = cdf( 0.0, 0.0, NaN );
     80 // returns NaN
     81 ```
     82 
     83 If provided `a >= b`, the function returns `NaN`.
     84 
     85 ```javascript
     86 var y = cdf( 1.0, 2.5, 2.0 );
     87 // returns NaN
     88 ```
     89 
     90 #### cdf.factory( a, b )
     91 
     92 Returns a function for evaluating the [cumulative distribution function][cdf] of an [arcsine][arcsine-distribution] distribution with parameters `a` (minimum support) and `b` (maximum support).
     93 
     94 ```javascript
     95 var mycdf = cdf.factory( 0.0, 10.0 );
     96 var y = mycdf( 0.5 );
     97 // returns ~0.144
     98 
     99 y = mycdf( 8.0 );
    100 // returns ~0.705
    101 ```
