ASA241
Inverse of Normal CDF


ASA241 is a C++ library which computes the inverse of the Normal Cumulative Density Function, by Michael Wichura.

ASA241 is Applied Statistics Algorithm 241. Source code for many Applied Statistics Algorithms is available through STATLIB.

The library includes two routines, R4_NORMAL_01_CDF_INVERSE, and R8_NORMAL_01_CDF_INVERSE, suitable for single precision real or double precision real arithmetic calculations.
