public override double InverseLeftProbability(
	double P
)
Public Overrides Function InverseLeftProbability ( _
	P As Double _
) As Double
public:
virtual double InverseLeftProbability(
	double P
) override
abstract InverseLeftProbability : 
        P : float -> float 
override InverseLeftProbability : 
        P : float -> float

Parameters

P
Double
The left cumulative probability P, which must lie between 0 and 1.

Return Value

The value x at which LeftProbability(Double) equals P.

Remarks

The inverse left probability is commonly called the quantile function. Given a quantile, it tells which variable value is the lower border of that quantile.

Exceptions

ExceptionCondition
System..::..ArgumentOutOfRangeExceptionP lies outside [0,1].
