Functions for probability distributions

Available function types are D (density), P (cumulative), or Q (inverse cumulative).

To call a probability function, use the following syntax:

<type><name><tail>(<argument>[,<parameters>])

Function types are as follows:

D
Density
P
Cumulative
Q
Inverse cumulative

The following list shows the functions names in alphabetical order:

The tail can be a low tail or a high tail. An empty string stands for a low tail, an _H stands for a high tail.

For example:

DNORM(x)
The density function of standard normal distribution
PNORM(x)
F(x) for a standard normal distribution
PNORM_H(x)
1- PNORM(x)
QNORM(p)
The inverse cumulative standard normal distribution function
QNORM_H(p)
1-QNORM(p)
