This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@stdlib/stats-base-dists-t-quantile) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Quantile Function

Student's t distribution quantile function.

The quantile function for a Student's t random variable is

Quantile function for a Student's t distribution.

for 0 <= p <= 1, where v > 0 is the degrees of freedom.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/stats-base-dists-t-quantile

Usage

var quantile = require( '@stdlib/stats-base-dists-t-quantile' );

quantile( p, v )

Evaluates the quantile function for a Student's t distribution with degrees of freedom v.

var y = quantile( 0.8, 1.0 );
// returns ~1.376

y = quantile( 0.1, 1.0 );
// returns ~-3.078

y = quantile( 0.5, 0.1 );
// returns 0.0

If provided a probability p outside the interval [0,1], the function returns NaN.

var y = quantile( 1.9, 1.0 );
// returns NaN

y = quantile( -0.1, 1.0 );
// returns NaN

If provided NaN as any argument, the function returns NaN.

var y = quantile( NaN, 1.0 );
// returns NaN

y = quantile( 0.0, NaN );
// returns NaN

If provided v <= 0, the function returns NaN.

var y = quantile( 0.4, -1.0 );
// returns NaN

y = quantile( 0.4, 0.0 );
// returns NaN

quantile.factory( v )

Returns a function for evaluating the quantile function of an Student's t distribution with degrees of freedom v.

var myquantile = quantile.factory( 4.0 );

var y = myquantile( 0.2 );
// returns ~-0.941

y = myquantile( 0.9 );
// returns ~1.533

Examples

var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-base-randu' );
var quantile = require( '@stdlib/stats-base-dists-t-quantile' );

var v;
var p;
var y;
var i;

for ( i = 0; i < 10; i++ ) {
    p = randu();
    v = randu() * 10.0;
    y = quantile( p, v );
    console.log( 'p: %d, v: %d, Q(p;v): %d', p.toFixed( 4 ), v.toFixed( 4 ), y.toFixed( 4 ) );
}
