Quantile of Bates distribution

Extends from Modelica.Math.Distributions.Interfaces.partialQuantile (Common interface of quantile functions (= inverse cumulative distribution functions)).

Information

Syntax

Bates.quantile(u, y_min=0, y_max=1, n=12);

Description

This function computes the inverse cumulative distribution function (= quantile) according to a Bates distribution (= mean of n uniform distributions). Input argument u must be in the range:

0 ≤ u ≤ 1

The returned number y is in the range:

ymin ≤ y ≤ ymax
