IWEPPF

Name:
    IWEPPF (LET)
Type:
    Library Function
Purpose:
    Compute the standard form of the inverted Weibull percent point function with tail length parameter gamma.
Description:
    The standard form of the inverted Weibull percent point function is:

      G(P) =-[LOG(P)]**(-1/GAMMA)  0 <= P < 1; gamma > 0
Syntax:
    LET <y> = IWEPPF(<p>,<GAMMA>)             <SUBSET/EXCEPT/FOR qualification> where <p> is a variable, number, or parameter;
                <y> is a variable or a parameter (depending on what <p> is) where the computed inverted Weibull ppf value is stored;
                <GAMMA> is a positive number or parameter that specifies the tail length parameter; and where the <SUBSET/EXCEPT/FOR qualification> is optional.
Examples:
    LET A = IWEPPF(0.9,2)
    LET A = IWEPPF(A1,4)
    LET X2 = IWEPPF(P,8)
Default:
    None
Synonyms:
    None
