GETPPF

GETPPF (LET)

Library Function

Compute the Geeta percent point function.

The Geeta distribution has the following probability mass function:

with and denoting the shape parameters.

The mean and variance of the Geeta distribution are:

=

² =

The Geeta distribution is sometimes parameterized in terms of its mean, , instead of . This results in the following probability mass function:

For this parameterization, the variance is

² =

This probability mass function is also given in the form:

Dataplot supports both parameterizations (see the Note section below).

The cumulative distribution function is computed by summing the probability mass function. The percent point function is computed by summing the cumulative distribution function until the appropriate probability is reached.

LET <y> = GETPPF(<p>,<shape>,<beta>)
                        <SUBSET/EXCEPT/FOR qualification>
where <p> is a positive integer variable, number, or parameter in the interval (0,1);
            <shape> is a number, parameter, or variable that specifies the valuie of theta (or mu);
            <beta> is a number, parameter, or variable that specifies the second shape parameter;
            <y> is a variable or a parameter (depending on what <p> is) where the computed Geeta ppf value is stored;
and where the <SUBSET/EXCEPT/FOR qualification> is optional.

LET A = GETPPF(0.95,0.5,1.4)
LET Y = GETPPF(P,0.3,1.6)
PLOT GETPPF(P,0.3,1.6) FOR P = 0 0.01 0.99
