SYNOPSIS

SUBROUTINE EXPPPF(P,Ppf)

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

DESCRIPTION

EXPPPF(3f) computes the percent point function value for the exponential distribution with mean = 1 and standard deviation = 1.

This distribution is defined for all non-negative X, and has the probability density function

       f(x) = 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 at which the percent point function is to be evaluated. P Should be between 0.0 (inclusively) and 1.0 (exclusively).

OUTPUT ARGUMENTS

PPF	The percent point function value.

EXAMPLES

Sample program:

   program demo_expppf
   use M_datapac, only : expppf
   implicit none
   ! call expppf(x,y)
   end program demo_expppf
