ASA241
Inverse of Normal Cumulative Density Function (CDF)


ASA241 is a MATLAB library which computes the inverse of the Normal Cumulative Density Function (CDF), 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 or double precision arithmetic calculations.
