Probability Functions<br />

Normal Quantile (Probit)<br />

Accepts a probability argument p, and returns the p th quantile from the standard normal distribution. For<br />

example, the expression Normal Quantile(0.975) returns the 97.5% quantile from the standard normal<br />

distribution, which evaluates as 1.96. Also, you can specify parameter values for the mean and standard<br />

deviation to obtain quantiles from nonstandard normal distributions. The Normal Quantile function is the<br />

inverse of the Normal Distribution function.<br />

Normal Biv Distribution<br />

Computes the probability that an observation is less than or equal to (x,y) with correlation coefficient r<br />

where the observation is marginally normally distributed. You can specify the mean and standard deviation<br />

for the X and Y coordinates of the observation. The default values are 0 for both means and 1 for both<br />

standard deviations.<br />

GLog Density<br />

Returns the density or pdf at a particular quantile q of a generalized logarithm distribution with location<br />

mu, scale sigma, and shape lambda. When the shape parameter is equal to zero, the distribution reduces to a<br />

Lognormal(mu, sigma).<br />

GLog Distribution<br />

Returns the probability or cdf that a generalized logarithm distributed random variable is less than q. When<br />

the shape parameter is equal to zero, the distribution reduces to a Lognormal(mu, sigma).<br />

GLog Quantile<br />

Returns the quantile, the value for which the probability is p that a random value would be lower. When the<br />

shape parameter is equal to zero, the distribution reduces to a Lognormal(mu, sigma).<br />

SEV Density<br />

Returns the density at x of the smallest extreme distribution with location mu and scale sigma.<br />

SEV Distribution<br />

Returns the probability that the smallest extreme distribution with location mu and scale sigma is less than x.<br />

SEV Quantile<br />

Returns the quantile associated with a cumulative probability p of the smallest extreme distribution with<br />

location mu and scale sigma.
