Efficient algorithms for the inversion of the cumulative central beta distribution (1605.03503v1)
Published 11 May 2016 in math.NA, cs.NA, and math.CA
Abstract: Accurate and efficient algorithms for the inversion of the cumulative central beta distribution are described. The algorithms are based on the combination of a fourth-order fixed point method with good non-local convergence properties (the Schwarzian-Newton method), asymptotic inversion methods and sharp bounds in the tails of the distribution function.
