Approximating the Inverse Normal

Beasley-Springer-Moro algorithm for approximating the inverse normal.

Al momento, stai seguendo questo contributo

Applying the inverse transform method to the normal distribution entails evaluation of the inverse normal. This is the Beasley-Springer-Moro algorithm for approximating the inverse normal.

Input: u, a sacalar or matrix with elements between 0 and 1
Output: x, an approximation for the inverse normal at u
