InverseSurvivalFunction
InverseSurvivalFunction[dist, q]
gives the inverse of the survival function for the symbolic distribution dist as a function of the variable q.
Details
- The inverse survival function at q is equivalent to the
quantile of a distribution. - For a continuous distribution dist, the inverse survival function at q is the value x such that SurvivalFunction[dist, x]=q.
- For a discrete distribution dist, the inverse survival function at q is the smallest integer x such that SurvivalFunction[dist, x]≤q.
- The value q can be symbolic or any number between 0 and 1.
