Format:
VoseNormalAlt(Value1,Prob1,Value2,Prob2, U)
Uses
This alternative parameterization of the Normal distribution is useful for modeling expert estimates of some continuous quantity with equal tails, like time or cost to complete a task.
The NormalAlt distribution appears in the standard Select Distribution palette. It also appears in the Expert selector window when one selects two percentiles {(P1, X1), (P2, X2)}.
VoseNormalAlt generates values from this distribution or calculates a percentile.
VoseNormalAltObject constructs a distribution object for this distribution. Professional and Industrial editions only.
VoseNormalAltProb returns the probability density or cumulative distribution function for this distribution. Professional and Industrial editions only.
VoseNormalAltProb10 returns the log10 of the probability density or cumulative distribution function. Professional and Industrial editions only.
