EV1PPF SUBROUTINE EV1PPF(P,PPF) PURPOSE--This subroutine computes the percent point function value for the extreme value type 1 distribution. The extreme value type 1 distribution used herein has MEAN = EULER'S NUMBER = 0.57721566 and STANDARD DEVIATION = PI/SQRT(6) = 1.28254983. This distribution is defined for all x and has the probability density function F(X) = (EXP(-X)) * (EXP(-(EXP(-X)))). Note that the percent function of a distribution is identically the the same as the inverse cumulative distribution function of the distribution. INPUT ARGUMENTS--P = The single precision value (between 0.0 and 1.0 (exclusively) at which the percent point function is to be evaluated. OUTPUT ARGUMENTS--PPF = The single precision percent point function value. OUTPUT--The single precision percent point function value PPF for the extreme value type 1 distribution with MEAN = EULER'S NUMBER = 0.57721566 and STANDARD DEVIATION = PI/SQRT(6) = 1.28254983. PRINTING--None unless an input argument error condition exists. RESTRICTIONS--P should be between 0.0 and 1.0 (exclusively). OTHER DATAPAC SUBROUTINES NEEDED--None. FORTRAN LIBRARY SUBROUTINES NEEDED--ALOG. MODE OF INTERNAL OPERATIONS--Single precision. LANGUAGE--ANSI FORTRAN.
