  2. Quantiles of the normal distribution. Some quantiles of the standard normal distribution (i.e., the normal distribution having zero mean and unit variance) are often used as critical values in hypothesis testing.

  3. Mar 20, 2020 · Theorem: Let X X be a random variable following a normal distributions: X ∼ N (μ,σ2). (1) (1) X ∼ N (μ, σ 2). Then, the quantile function of X X is. QX(p) = √2σ⋅erf −1(2p−1)+μ (2) (2) Q X (p) = 2 σ ⋅ e r f − 1 (2 p − 1) + μ. where erf −1(x) e r f − 1 (x) is the inverse error function.

  4. Apr 24, 2022 · The normal distribution is studied in more detail in the chapter on Special Distributions. The distribution function Φ, of course, can be expressed as Φ(z) = ∫z − ∞ϕ(x)dx, z ∈ R but Φ and the quantile function Φ − 1 cannot be expressed, in closed from, in terms of elementary functions.

  5. The probit is the quantile function of the normal distribution. In probability and statistics, the quantile function outputs the value of a random variable such that its probability is less than or equal to an input probability value.

  6. Sep 13, 2021 · The Quantile Function. The quantile function for a probability distribution has many uses in both the theory and application of probability. If F is a probability distribution function, the quantile function may be used to “construct” a random variable having F as its distributions function.

  7. Apr 23, 2022 · The standard normal distribution function \(\Phi\), given by \[ \Phi(z) = \int_{-\infty}^z \phi(t) \, dt = \int_{-\infty}^z \frac{1}{\sqrt{2 \pi}} e^{-t^2 / 2} \, dt \] and its inverse, the quantile function \(\Phi^{-1}\), cannot be expressed in closed form in terms of elementary functions.
