Syntax

Weibull.quantile(u, y_min=0, y_max=1, lambda=1, k=1);

Description

This function computes the inverse cumulative distribution function (= quantile) according to a truncated Weibull distribution with minimum value u_min, maximum value u_max, scale parameter of original distribution lambda and shape parameter of original distribution k. Input argument u must be in the range:

0 ≤ u ≤ 1

Output argument y is in the range:

y_min ≤ y ≤ y_max
