Quantile of uniform distribution
Extends from Modelica.Math.Distributions.Interfaces.partialQuantile (Common interface of quantile functions (= inverse cumulative distribution functions)).
Information
Syntax
Uniform.quantile(u, y_min=0, y_max=1);
Description
This function computes the inverse cumulative distribution function (= quantile) according to a uniform distribution in a band. Input argument u must be in the range:
0 ≤ u ≤ 1
The returned number y is in the range:
y_min ≤ y ≤ y_max
