SEMPPFName:
The formula for the cumulative distribution function is:
with and r denoting the location and scale parameters, respectively. The percent point function is computed by numerically inverting the cumulative distribution function. The case where = 0 and r = 1 is referred to as the standard semi-circular distribution.
<SUBSET/EXCEPT/FOR qualification> where <p> is a variable, number, or parameter in the interval (0,1); <mu> is a variable, number, or parameter that specifies the location parameter; <r> is a variable, number, or parameter that specifies the scale parameter; <y> is a variable or a parameter (depending on what <p> is) where the computed semi-circular ppf value is stored; and where the <SUBSET/EXCEPT/FOR qualification> is optional. If <mu> and <r> are omitted, they default to 0 and 1, respectively.
LET A = SEMPPF(0.99,0,5) LET X2 = SEMPPF(X1)
