NTTRUNCNORMINV

Returns the inverse of the cumulative distribution function for a specified truncated normal distribution.

Syntax

NTTRUNCNORMINV(
    prob,
    Min,
    Max,
    Mu,
    Sigma
)

Parameters

• prob is a probability corresponding to the normal distribution.
• Min is a lower limit of a support of the distribution $a$.
• Max is a upper limit of a support of the distribution $b$.
• Mu is a parameter the distribution $\mu$.
• Sigma is a parameter the distribution $\sigma(>0)$.

Remarks

• Restrictions of arguments:

$$a<b$$
