EV2PPF SUBROUTINE EV2PPF(P,GAMMA,PPF) PURPOSE--This subroutine computes the percent point function value for the extreme value type 2 distribution with single precision tail length parameter = GAMMA. The extreme value type 2 distribution used herein is defined for all non-negative X, and has the probability density function F(X) = GAMMA * (X**(-GAMMA-1)) * EXP(-(X**(-GAMMA))). note that the percent point function of a distribution is identically 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. --GAMMA = The single precision value of the tail length parameter. GAMMA should be positive. OUTPUT ARGUMENTS--PPF = The single percision percent point function value. OUTPUT--The single precision percent point function value PPF for the extreme value type 2 distribution with tail length parameter value = GAMMA. PRINTING--None unless an input argument error condition exists. RESTRICTIONS--GAMMA should be positive. --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.
