CAPABILITIES
DCDFLIB (Double precision Cumulative Distribution Function LIBrary) is
a collection of routines that calculate cumulative distribution
functions, inverses, and parameters for common statistical
distributions. DCDFLIB uses published algorithms where available, and
literature citations are included in the documentation.
Values associated with a statistical distribution include X, the upper
limit of integration of the density, P, the cumulative distribution
function evaluated at X, and auxillary parameters such as degrees of
freedom. Given all but one such value, a routine in cdflib will
calculate the one value. (CAVEAT: For the central and noncentral F,
the cdf is sometimes not monotone in the degrees of freedom. For
these parameters, there can be two answers. DCDFLIB finds an
arbitrary one of the two in this case.
Routines are provided for the following distributions.
(1) Beta
(2) Binomial
(3) Chi-square
(4) Noncentral Chi-square
(5) F
(6) Noncentral F
(7) Gamma
(8) Negative Binomial
(9) Normal
(10) Poisson
(11) Student's t
