B11PPF

Name:
    B11PPF (LET)
Type:
    Library Function
Purpose:
    Compute the Burr type 11 percent point function with shape parameter r.
Description:
    The standard Burr type 11 distribution has the following cumulative distribution function:

      F(x;r) = [x - (1/(2*PI))*SIN(2*PI*x)]**r     0 <  x <  1; r > 0

    with r denoting the shape parameter.

    The percent point function is computed by numerically inverting the cumulative distribution function.

    This distribution can be extended with lower and upper bound parameters. If a and b denote the lower and upper bounds, respectively, then the location and scale parameters are:

      location = a
      scale = b - a

    The general form of the distribution can then be found by using the relation

      G(p;r,a,b) = a + (b-a)*G(p;r,0,1)
Syntax:
    LET <y> = B11PPF(<p>,<r>,<loc>,<scale>)
                            <SUBSET/EXCEPT/FOR qualification>
    where <p> is a number, parameter, or variable in the interval (0,1);
                <y> is a variable or a parameter (depending on what <p> is) where the computed Burr type 11 ppf value is stored;
                <r> is a positive number, parameter, or variable that specifies the shape parameter;
                <loc> is a number, parameter, or variable that specifies the location parameter;
                <scale> is a positive number, parameter, or variable that specifies the scale parameter;
    and where the <SUBSET/EXCEPT/FOR qualification> is optional.

    If <loc> and <scale> are omitted, they default to 0 and 1, respectively.

Examples:
    LET A = B11PPF(0.95,0.2)
    LET Y = B11PPF(P,0.5,0,5)
    PLOT B11PPF(X,2,0,3) FOR X = 0.01 0.01 0.99
Default:
    None
