SYNOPSIS

SUBROUTINE LAMPPF(P,Alamba,Ppf)

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

DESCRIPTION

LAMPPF(3f) computes the percent point function value for the (Tukey) lambda distribution with tail length parameter value = ALAMBA.
In general, the probability density function for this distribution is not simple.
The percent point function for this distribution is
       g(P) = ((P**ALAMBA)-((1-P)**ALAMBA))/ALAMBA
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) at which the percent point function is to be evaluated.
If ALAMBA is positive, then P should be between 0.0 and 1.0, inclusively.
If ALAMBA is non-positive, then P should be between 0.0 and 1.0, exclusively.

ALAMBA The value of lambda (the tail length parameter).

OUTPUT ARGUMENTS

PPF The percent point function value ppf for the Tukey lambda distribution

EXAMPLES

Sample program:

   program demo_lamppf
   !@(#) line plotter graph of function
   use M_datapac, only : lamppf, plott, label
   implicit none
   integer,parameter :: n=200
   real              :: x(n), y(n)
   real              :: alamba
   integer           :: i
      alamba=3.3333
      call label(’lamppf’)
      x=[(real(i)/real(n+1),i=1,n)]
      do i=1,n
         call lamppf(x(i),alamba,y(i))
      enddo
      call plott(x,y,n)
   end program demo_lamppf
