SYNOPSIS

SUBROUTINE EV1PPF(P,Ppf)

       REAL(kind=wp),intent(in)  :: P
       REAL(kind=wp),intent(out) :: Ppf

DESCRIPTION

EV1PPF(3f) computes the percent point function value for the extreme value type 1 distribution.

The extreme value type 1 distribution used herein has mean = Euler’s number = 0.57721566 and standard deviation = pi/sqrt(6) = 1.28254983.

This distribution is defined for all x and has the probability density function

       f(x) = (exp(-x)) * (exp(-(exp(-x))))

Note that the percent point function of a distribution is identically the same as the inverse cumulative distribution function of the distribution.

INPUT ARGUMENTS

P The value (between 0.0 and 1.0 exclusively) at which the percent point function is to be evaluated.

OUTPUT ARGUMENTS

PPF The percent point function value for the extreme value type 1 distribution with mean = Euler’s number = 0.57721566 and standard deviation = pi/sqrt(6) = 1.28254983.

EXAMPLES

Sample program:

   program demo_ev1ppf
   use M_datapac, only : ev1ppf
   implicit none
   ! call ev1ppf(x,y)
   end program demo_ev1ppf
