The sample value at the specified percentile. For a bounded distribution such as the ContinuousUniformDistribution, the method retuns the lower bound if probability is zero, and the upper bound if probability is equal to 1.

public override double InverseDistributionFunction(
double probability
)Parameters
- probability Double
- A real number between 0 and 1.
Return Value
DoubleThe sample value at the specified percentile. For a bounded distribution such as the ContinuousUniformDistribution, the method retuns the lower bound if probability is zero, and the upper bound if probability is equal to 1.
Remarks
The percentile of a probability, probability, is the sample value x for which the probability of obtaining a sample less than or equal to x is probability.
When probability is zero, LowerBound is returned. When probability is 1, UpperBound is returned.
The InverseDistributionFunction(Double) function is the inverse of the Cumulative Distribution Function.
Exceptions
| ArgumentOutOfRangeException | probability is less than zero or greater than 1. |
