Evaluates the Arcsin distribution CDF inverse.

View versions (1)

Interface

#include <codecogs/statistics/distributions/continuous/arcsin/cdf_inv.h>

using namespace Statistics::Distributions::Continuous::Arcsin;

This function evaluates the CDF inverse of the Arcsin distribution with given argument, defined by

D^{-1}(x, a) = a \sin \left( \pi x - \frac{\pi}{2} \right)
\qquad 0 \leq x \leq 1 \quad a \geq 0
(1)

In the example that follows, the CDF inverse is evaluated using values from 0 up to 0.8 with a step equal to 0.1. The maximum number of precision digits, implicitly set to 17, may be changed through the <em> PRECISION </em> define.

Example 1

#include <codecogs/stats/dists/continuous/arcsin/cdf_inv.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>

#define PRECISION 17

int main()
{
  std::cout << "The values of the Arcsin CDF inverse with a = 0.6";
  std::cout << std::endl;
  std::cout << "x = {0, 0.1, 0.2, ... , 0.7, 0.8} are" << std::endl;
  std::cout << std::endl;
  for (double x = 0; x < 0.81; x += 0.1)
  {
    std::cout << std::setprecision(1);
    std::cout << "x = " << std::setw(3) << x << " : ";
    std::cout << std::setprecision(PRECISION);
    std::cout << Stats::Dists::Continuous::Arcsin::CDF_inv(x, 0.6);
    std::cout << std::endl;
  }
  return 0;
}

Output

The values of the Arcsin CDF inverse with a = 0.6
x = {0, 0.1, 0.2, ... , 0.7, 0.8} are

x =   0 : -0.59999999999999998
x = 0.1 : -0.57063390977709216
x = 0.2 : -0.48541019662496843
x = 0.3 : -0.35267115137548377
x = 0.4 : -0.18541019662496841
x = 0.5 : 0
x = 0.6 : 0.18541019662496841
x = 0.7 : 0.35267115137548377
x = 0.8 : 0.48541019662496837

Parameters

x
the argument of the CDF inverse
a
the parameter of the CDF inverse (must be positive)

Returns

the inverse CDF of the Arcsin distribution
