UNIFORMINV
Updated: 31 July 2010
Use UNIFORMINV to calculate the inverse of the lower cumulative distribution of the uniform distribution.
The formula for the lower cumulative distribution function is:
Syntax
SELECT [devdb].[dbo].[UNIFORMINV] (
<@P, float,>
,<@Min, float,>
,<@Max, float,>)
Arguments
@P
is the value of the lower cumulative distribution function. @P is an expression of type float or of a type that implicitly converts to float.
@Min
is the minimum value of the distribution. @Min is an expression of type float or of a type that implicitly converts to float.
@Max
is the maximum value of the distribution. @Max is an expression of type float or of a type that implicitly converts to float.
Return Types
float
Remarks
· @P must be greater than or equal to zero and less than or equal to one (0 ≤ @P ≤ 1).
· @Max must be greater than or equal to @Min (@Max > @Min).
Examples
Calculate the lower cumulative distribution function:
SELECT wct.UNIFORM(6,1,9,'True')
This produces the following result
