BU8PPF

BU8PPF (LET)

Library Function

Compute the Burr type 8 percent point function with shape parameter r.

The standard Burr type 8 distribution has the following percent point function:

with r denoting the shape parameter.

This distribution can be generalized with location and scale parameters in the usual way using the relation

LET <y> = BU8PPF(<p>,<r>,<loc>,<scale>)
                        <SUBSET/EXCEPT/FOR qualification>
where <p> is a number, parameter, or variable;
            <y> is a variable or a parameter (depending on what <p> is) where the computed Burr type 8 ppf value is stored;
            <r> is a positive number, parameter, or variable that specifies the shape parameter;
            <loc> is a number, parameter, or variable that specifies the location parameter;
            <scale> is a positive number, parameter, or variable that specifies the scale parameter;
and where the <SUBSET/EXCEPT/FOR qualification> is optional.

If <loc> and <scale> are omitted, they default to 0 and 1, respectively.

LET A = BU8PPF(0.95,0.2)
LET Y = BU8PPF(P,0.99,0,5)
PLOT BU8PPF(P,2,0,3) FOR P = 0.01 0.01 0.99
