Class InverseCdfEx1

java.lang.Object

com.imsl.test.example.stat.InverseCdfEx1

All Implemented Interfaces:

CdfFunction

public class InverseCdfEx1
extends Object
implements CdfFunction

Computes the inverse of a user-supplied CDF at a probability value.

In this example, InverseCdf is used to compute the point such that the probability is 0.9 that a standard normal random variable is less than or equal to the computed point.
