quanor: Quantile Function of the Normal Distribution

Description

This function computes the quantiles of the Normal distribution given parameters ($mean$ and $sd$) of the distribution computed by parnor. The quantile function of the distribution has no explicit form (see cdfnor and qnorm). The parameters have the following interpretations: $mean$ is the arithmetic mean and $sd$ is the standard deviation. The R-function qnorm is used.

Usage

quanor(f, para)

Arguments

f
Nonexceedance probability ($0 \le F \le 1$).
para
The parameters from parnor or similar.

Value

  • Quantile value for nonexceedance probability $F$.
