functionquantileNormalSimple
Test quantile of normal distribution with reduced precision
Extends from Modelica.Icons.Function (Icon for functions).
Information
This function returns a random number according to a normal distribution. This means that 99.7 % of the returned random numbers are in the range:
mu-3*sigma ≤ y ≤ mu+3*sigma
This function is only for test purposes. It computes the quantile (= inverse cumulative distribution function) of a normal distribution with a reduced precision of about 1e-7.
For more details of this distribution see Wikipedia.
